Richard Mille has unveiled a new version of its RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer, now crafted in red gold and titanium and featuring an openworked dial highlighted by pink and burgundy accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defining feature of the RM 63-02 is its innovative take on the world-time complication. Rather than relying on a traditional crown or pushers for adjustment, Richard Mille\u2019s engineers have seamlessly integrated the mechanism into the rotating bezel, allowing the time to be set through the bezel itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Made from microblasted 5N red gold and mounted on ball bearings, the bezel enables the wearer to choose a reference city with a smooth rotation, instantly revealing the corresponding local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An integrated wheel linked to the hour wheel automatically sets the time for the selected city at 12 o\u2019clock, while simultaneously updating the remaining 23 time zones displayed around the bezel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 24-hour inner ring provides clear legibility across all time zones, while a two-tone pink and burgundy disc differentiates day from night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RM 63-02 is housed in a round 47 x 13.45 mm case crafted from satin-finished 5N red gold with polished bevels, complemented by a grade 5 titanium caseband whose finishes mirror those of the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Secured by 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium, the three-part case is water-resistant to 30 metres \/ 100 feet, thanks to two Nitrile O-ring seals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oversized crown is accented with a burgundy Alcryn collar, an advanced material that delivers the supple feel of vulcanised rubber while providing enhanced resistance to abrasion and environmental wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A push-button at 4 o\u2019clock allows the user to switch between winding, hand-setting, and neutral modes. A small aperture at the same position indicates the selected function: W for winding, N for neutral, and H for hand-setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Entirely developed in-house by Richard Mille, the CRMA4 automatic calibre operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is constructed on a baseplate and bridges made from grade 5 titanium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the dial side, a prominent black rhodium-coated bridge with circular brushing showcases the movement of the world-time mechanism\u2019s gears. This dynamic display improves legibility while drawing attention to the oversized date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located at 12 o\u2019clock, the date display uses two skeletonised titanium discs and is adjusted via a gold pusher set into the left side of the case at 11 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fast-rotating barrel delivers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours and is wound by a bidirectional rotor crafted from 5N red gold and grade 5 titanium, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The exceptional finishing of the CRMA4\u2014from polished bevels and satin-brushed edges to microblasted bridges enhanced by PVD and electro-plasma treatments, as well as circular-brushed wheels\u2014reflects the meticulous attention given to every component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Limited to 100 pieces, the new Richard Mille RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer in red gold and titanium is priced at approximately SGD 334,000, excluding taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
