Overview
Titanium case around the skeletonised oversize-date calibre
An RM 029 in titanium on a black rubber strap. White Arabic numerals stand over the skeletonised movement, with the yellow RM029 plate at 9 o’clock and the oversize date, framed in red, at 4 o’clock.
Introduced in 2011, the RM 029 pairs an oversize date mechanism inspired by the RM 011 with a rotor of variable geometry, so that winding can be matched to the wearer’s activity. Richard Mille tested numerous versions of the skeletonised titanium baseplate before choosing the final pattern of cutaways.
