Overview

White ceramic case with the RM17-02 calibre

The RM 17-02 reworks the RM 017 tourbillon in the tonneau case, with a new calibre designation and a distinct movement finish. The case measures 48.15 × 40.10 × 13.08 mm, is tripartite, and is water resistant to 50 metres, in the ATZ white ceramic execution.

The calibre RM17-02 is a manual-winding tourbillon with hours, minutes, a power-reserve indicator at 2 o’clock and a function indicator at 4 o’clock. Its grade 5 titanium baseplate carries a black PVD treatment, with bridges treated in blue PVD and 5N gold, seen through a sapphire dial.

Design and engineering

  • Baseplate and bridges in grade 5 titaniumThe alloy is 90% titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. The baseplate carries a black PVD treatment; the bridges are treated in blue PVD and 5N gold. Both were subjected to complete validation testing.
  • Sapphire dialA transparent sapphire dial replaces a solid dial plate, with a treated grade 5 titanium flange carrying the minute track and branding.
  • Free-sprung balance with variable inertiaCalibration is by adjustable weights on the balance rather than a regulator index, which improves reliability under shock and during assembly.
  • Fast-rotating barrelOne revolution every 6 hours instead of 7.5.
  • Blocking-gear safety systemA blocking gear protects the winding barrel against overwinding.
  • Dynamometric crownThe crown limits applied torque, protecting the winding stem and the mainspring.
