Richard Mille RM 67-01 automatic ultra-thin watch
Ahead of its official debut at SIHH 2016, Richard Mille has unveiled the new RM 67-01 Ultra-Thin Automatic, a slimmer version of its iconic RM 010 watch without sacrificing the original aesthetics or performance. Replica Richard Mille Extra Flat
On the face of it, the iconic styling of the original RM 010 watch has been translated into a thinner, more wearable watch. However, in order to give the movement a sense of visual depth - a characteristic of all other previous Richard Mille creations - the designers had to come up with a solution that would provide the desired appearance while remaining solid. construction, all within a very thin case.
Richard Mille said: “The RM 67-01’s extreme use of skeletonization holds many clues in this regard; however, the new approach to dial construction shifts the eye from the edge of the three-layer bezel to the hour and minute hands in the central area.”
Uniquely, the Arabic hour numerals are made of solid metal, mounted on two titanium rails that surround the dial and are fixed directly to the movement. Each number is filled with luminous material for easy viewing at night. Another interesting design element is the date display, which is outlined with a luminous aperture at 5 o’clock in place of the Arabic numerals.replica Ulysse Nardin Freak
The new case is made of titanium and measures 38.7 mm x 47.52 mm x 7.75 mm, and is powered by a new automatic movement (Caliber CRMA6) that is only 3.6 mm thick. Richard Mille says the movement was “designed in-house by Les Breuleux engineers.”
The main plate and bridges are made from grade 5 titanium with a gray and black plasma treatment. The oscillating weight is made of platinum and is part of the "OneWay" winding system with ceramic ball bearings; this system allows the barrel to be wound efficiently while maintaining the compact dimensions of the ultra-flat skeletonized movement.
The back of the movement, like the dial, adopts a hollow design and is clearly visible through the transparent bottom cover. Components on display include the large skeletonized winding barrel, the oscillating weight, the transmission wheel train and the bridges of the automatic winding mechanism. Wholesale replica watches
It's worth noting that even the three slotted screws on one side of the dial are unusual in that they turn in the opposite direction compared to normal. Additionally, custom torque screws can be seen throughout the movement, ensuring the correct tension for the respective application.
The 25-jewel movement runs at 4 Hz and has a power reserve of 50 hours. Functions include hours, minutes, semi-instantaneous date and function indicators. Function indicators allow the wearer to see which winding, date setting and manual setting modes are activated when the crown is pulled out. Each position is indicated by a hand at 2 o'clock, showing the following functions: W (winding), D (date) and H (hand setting).
The free-spring balance with variable inertia ensures greater reliability of the movement in the event of shocks. The adjuster index has been eliminated, making more accurate and repeatable adjustments possible thanks to four small adjustable weights located directly on the balance. Small details such as the fast-rotating barrel (5 hours per revolution instead of 7.5 hours) and the advanced gear tooth profile (pressure angle of 20°) improve the watch's chronometric performance.
