Richard Mille RM 65-01 CA Automatic Split Seconds Chronograph 44.50mm x 49.94mm Carbon Black Rubber Straps Men’s Watch
“The RM 65-01 Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph , continues the tradition. It is also, the company claims, the “most complex timepiece ever to leave the Richard Mille workshops.”
The RM 65-01 is also a watch that emphasizes legibility for all of its various functions thanks to an ingenious use of color coding. Yellow is used for the timekeeping elements — the hour and minute hands, hour numerals, and the small seconds sub dial at 6 o’clock. Orange identifies the central chronograph seconds hand and the 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph sub dials at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively. The winding mechanism is in bright red, the date is framed in green, and the split-seconds hand is in blue, a color echoed on the pusher that activates it.
The bezel, case band, and back case are in Carbon TPT, a material used in racing yachts, Formula 1 racecars and aircraft, which Richard Mille brought to watchmaking back in 2013. The crown and push-buttons are in micro-blasted and satin-finished grade 5 titanium, and the rapid-winding button is formed from red quartz TPT. Another technical feature emblematic of Richard Mille timekeepers: the gearbox-style function selector that allows the user to switch easily between traditional winding (W), quick date adjustment (D) and time setting (H) with a simple press of the crown
