Richard Mille RM UP-01 FERRARI Manual Winding Ultra Flat Men’s Watch
Richard Mille celebrates the partnership with Ferrari with the launch of the RM UP-01 Ferrari, an ultra-flat wristwatch that is just 1.75mm thick, thus establishing a world record as the thinnest mechanical watch on the market.
The manual-winding RMUP-01 movement with hours, minutes and function selector presents a profile of just 1.18 mm and weighs in at 2.82 grams.
The baseplate and skeletonized bridges are made of grade 5 titanium to guarantee perfect flatness without losing any strength and ensure optimal functioning of the going train.
The winding mechanism had to be completely rethought eliminating the winding stem, whose minimum diameter of 1.5 mm precluded its use in such a slim watch.
In its place, the two crowns on the left side, one for function selection, the other to operate the selected function, have both been integrated in the case as movement wheels and ringed with black ceramic inserts that protect the bezel from any wear.
Assembled using 13 grade 5 titanium spline screws and abrasion-resistant washers in 316L stainless steel, the 51 mm x 39 mm case is water resistant to 1 ATM (corresponding approximately to 10 meters / 33 feet).
The total weight of the watch, strap included, is 30 grams.
