- Unibody baseplateThe caseband and baseplate are fused into a single piece, drawn from racing-car chassis construction, giving resistance to accelerations over 5,000 g.
- Titanium bridgesGrade 5 titanium skeletonised bridges support the great wheel and the tourbillon.
- Power reserve70 hours, from a fixed barrel delivering consistent torque to the tourbillon.
- Movement architectureDerived from the RM 012 of 2006, whose tubular structure replaced the conventional baseplate.
- Case construction48.00 × 39.30 × 13.84 mm, sapphire crystals both sides, water-resistant to 50 metres.
