Overview
Black TZP ceramic bezels with Carbon TPT® caseband
The Black Phantom combines two materials in the tripartite RM 011 case. The front and back bezels are black TZP ceramic, sandblasted to a matt finish; the centre caseband, together with the crown and the pushers, is Carbon TPT®. Richard Mille’s material designations distinguish ATZ, used for white ceramic, from TZP, used for black and coloured ceramic.
It was the first Richard Mille watch to combine these two materials. The hour indicators, counters, hands and flange are executed in black with white elements. The watch is fitted to a black rubber strap with a black DLC-treated titanium buckle.
