ATZ white ceramic case with red gold caseband
This version of the RM 017 pairs a white ceramic case with a red gold caseband.
The calibre RM017 is a manual-winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, a power-reserve scale at 2 o’clock and a function indicator at 4 o’clock. The movement measures 4.65 mm in thickness within a case 8.70 mm deep.
Key details
Design and engineering
- ATZ white ceramicATZ is the designation Richard Mille applies to white ceramic, distinct from TZP used for black and coloured ceramic.
- Modular time-setting mechanismThe time-setting assembly is mounted against the caseback rather than within the movement, so it can be replaced without disturbing the baseplate, and can be removed from the back without lifting hands or dial.
- Wheel-based time settingThe setting system replaces sliding friction with rolling friction through a wheel-based arrangement.
- Free-sprung balance with variable inertiaThe balance carries adjustable weights in place of a regulator index, which improves reliability under shock and during assembly.
- Torque-limiting crownThe crown limits applied torque to prevent overwinding damage to the stem or excessive pressure on the mainspring.
