Description

uAfter launching eight new products, Richard Mille presents a new version of the extra-flat RM 016 caliber, a watch in grade 5 titanium having received Titalyt\xae treatment, a first in watch making.This titanium oxidation process using electro-plasma increases the hardness of the metal and therefore its capacity to withstand friction, wear and corrosion in accordance with AMS 2488D aerospace material norms. This biocompatible treatment is used in the aerospace, automobile and medical industries.The Richard Mille collection has already established a strong identity and the RM 016, in this Titalyt\xae version, is given a prominent profile with its exclusively treated case. The case of the RM 016 Titalyt\xae is immediately recognizable thanks to its unique and extraordinary color. The case is also shockproof and scratchproof. The strap harmonizes perfectly with the case.Richard Mille once more asserts his creativity with this new model, finding inspiration in the most innovative sectors such as aerospace and biomedicine.RM 016 Titalyt\xae : an automatic winding skeleton movement with hours, minutes, date indicator and variable geometry rotor.
