The Richard Mille movement was developed together with the laboratories of Audemars Piguet. Engineers have replaced the traditional escapement with a new type of escapement with a titanium balance wheel. The new escapement does away with the classic safety device that prevents the fork from flipping from one stop pin to the other in the event of impacts. Now the anchor fork itself performs the safety function. She has been lengthened and her shoulders have been modified.
As a result, the mechanism, and then the case, reached the desired height. The body of the same recognizable barrel-shaped shape is made of titanium. The monobloc design even provides some level of water resistance - 10 meters. The ultra-slim case is assembled using 13 titanium flute screws and wear-resistant stainless steel washers. The Ferrari logo and all serial numbers are laser engraved on the case.
Watches and some other characteristic features of Richard Mille products have been preserved. For example, the function selector. It is located between the 10 and 11 o'clock positions and allows you to turn the crown to choose between winding (W) and manual adjustment (H). The second crown between 7 and 8 o'clock serves to adjust the time or winding. The crowns are surrounded by two black ceramic inserts.
The release of the new record holder RM UP-01 is limited to 150 copies.
