Richard Mille Launches RM 16-02 Automatic Extra-Thin Watch Go Rectangular

 

Last fall, Richard Mille announced that it would discontinue the RM 032, launching a swan song version, that is, no longer producing the last round case design. At the time, this meant that once the 32 was gone, Richard Mille's luxury replica watches could only be tonneau-shaped cases, otherwise they would go bankrupt. However, before the era of the supreme tonneau case had yet to come, RM announced that it would revive another non-tonneau-shaped model, the RM 016, and launch a new version called Richard Mille RM 16-02 Automatic Extraflat.

Looking directly at the case, it is rectangular. Specifically, it measures 36mm x 45.65mm, which is 10% smaller than the previous RM 016, improving wearing comfort. This is a good thing, too, because its long sides and integrated bracelet make the entire case look like a continuous piece of material, so it is still very conspicuous. It’s like the Apple Watch took an Apple Watch gene and amplified it and turned it into a mechanical watch – if that idea sounds interesting, then look no further than the H. Moser Swiss Alp. replica Patek Philippe Watches

The case itself is available in two materials. The titanium version has a smooth metallic finish, while the Terracotta Quartz TPT version is Terracotta Quartz TPT. Quartz TPT is a silicon composite material that is both strong and lightweight, making it perfect for a dramatic case like this. The Terracotta color is a bit of a letdown, on the one hand I love the architectural vibe it gives to this piece, like a Boston brownstone, on the other hand the brick color is a bit underwhelming.

However, while the case is the most appealing aspect of this replica swiss watches, the real attraction is the dial. It’s a completely skeletonized display that showcases the new CRMA9 movement developed specifically for this watch. What’s interesting is the regularity of the skeletonization, as each of the small windows that cut through the dial is either rectangular or square. It creates a striking and unique look, like an angular maze.

Describing the hour markers on this watch is very difficult. Each number is made up of two parts, a traditional Arabic numeral and a twisted line that goes around the edge of the dial and through each number. For example, at 12 o'clock, the number 1 is made up entirely of lines, while the number 2 has a traditional numeral on top but a twisted line on the bottom horizontally. 2 and 5 o'clock are literally made up of lines only. It feels like someone played a game of Tron on the display, which makes me wish we had bright neon colors instead of the grays and browns we have now. breitling replica watches

Digging deeper into the CRMA9 Calibre, it has a 50-hour power reserve and both the baseplate and bridges are made of titanium. It is wound by a new platinum rotor with a titanium weight element, and is constructed at similar angles to the rest of the watch. It looks like the steering wheel of a sci-fi spaceship.

I think there is no doubt that this is one of the most interesting watches Richard Mille has come out with in recent times, certainly since the RM UP-01. It's a crazy blend of ultra-modern and futuristic design, presented in very traditional, down-to-earth colors. It covers everything from architectural fundamentals to sci-fi wonders in a ridiculous way. I love that it’s not limited to any one thing. replica Jacob & Co. Epic x Chrono
