Inspired by the cutting-edge technologies used in Formula 1 racing cars, legendary Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille has now introduced a masterful reinterpretation of the RM 011 featuring a new material with a unique color that has never been used in watchmaking before: brown silicon nitride, an extremely hard material. Inside the watch is an automatic caliber RMAC1 equipped with a flyback chronograph function that allows a timing operation in progress to be restarted without stopping the mechanism. This watch also boasts a variable geometry rotor, exclusive to Richard Mille, which optimises the winding of the barrel by adapting it to the user’s activities. The RM 011 Brown Silicon Nitride is available from Richard Mille boutiques and the brand’s retailers.
