Overview
The closing edition of the RM 011
The RM 011 was introduced in 2007 as Richard Mille’s collaboration with the Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa. The Last Edition is a limited edition, available exclusively at Richard Mille Europe boutiques.
The tonneau case measures 50.00 × 40.00 × 16.15 mm and is baby blue across the bezel and the caseband. The crown is in grade 5 titanium, with a double seal O-ring and a collar in Alcryn®, and the grooved, non-slip push-pieces carry orange markings.
The dial is detailed in orange — orange chronograph hands, orange detailing on the three counters and an orange tachymeter scale on the flange — against white Arabic numerals and a black movement. An RM011-FM plaque sits at 8 o’clock.
Inside is the calibre RMAC1: an automatic flyback chronograph with a 60-minute countdown timer at 9 o’clock, a 12-hour totaliser, an oversize date below 12 o’clock and a month indicator between 4 and 5 o’clock, the two calendar displays forming an annual calendar that needs correcting once a year at the end of February.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Calibre RMAC1Skeletonised automatic winding movement with variable-geometry rotor, offering hours, minutes, seconds, flyback chronograph, 60-minute countdown timer at 9 o’clock, 12-hour totaliser, oversize date and month indicator.
- Flyback chronographThe pusher between 4 and 5 o’clock resets the chronograph without the mechanism first having to be stopped; the pusher between 1 and 2 o’clock starts and stops it. The function originates in aviation, where it avoided the time lost in stopping, resetting and restarting a chronograph at a navigational point.
- Annual calendarThe oversize date sits below 12 o’clock and the month in an aperture angled between 4 and 5 o’clock. The mechanism accounts for months of 30 and 31 days, requiring a single manual correction each year at the end of February.
- Variable-geometry rotorThe winding weight can be set so that winding efficiency matches the wearer’s activity level.
- Free-sprung balanceSpecified for reliability under shock, with the movement mounted on rubber shock absorbers.
- Orange colourwayChronograph hands, counter detailing and flange tachymeter are orange.
- Case productionEach case requires 68 stamping operations across the bezel, middle section and caseback; the machine tooling takes eight days of adjustment for the bezel and five each for the middle section and caseback, and each rough case involves 202 separate machining operations.
- Dial and crystalsThe dial is sapphire, 0.40 mm thick with anti-glare treatment on both faces, held by eight silicon braces in the upper and lower grooves. The bezel-side crystal is sapphire, 1.20 mm, with anti-glare treatment on both sides; the caseback is sapphire, 1.00 mm at the centre and 1.73 mm at the outer edges.
