- Titanium bridgesGrade 5 titanium skeletonised bridges flank the great wheel at the top of the movement and the tourbillon at the bottom, supported by the baseplate.
- Fixed barrelDelivers consistent torque to the tourbillon; 70-hour running time.
- Movement architectureDerived from the RM 012 of 2006, which replaced the conventional baseplate with a tubular structure.
- Case construction48.00 × 39.30 × 13.84 mm, sapphire crystals both sides, water-resistant to 50 metres.
