Overview
Grade 5 titanium case
The titanium execution of the RM 65-01 keeps the case in grade 5 titanium throughout, polished and satin-finished, with a red inner flange and green and red pusher caps against a black rubber strap.
The movement is the RMAC4 as in every other RM 65-01: a skeletonised automatic split-seconds chronograph beating at 36,000 vph, with a rapid-winding pusher at 8 o’clock, a function selector built into the crown — which Richard Mille records as a first on one of its automatic watches — and a rotor whose geometry can be varied to suit the wearer.

Design and engineering
- Calibre RMAC4Skeletonised automatic winding movement with hours, minutes, seconds at 6 o’clock, date, split-seconds chronograph with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, function selector, rapid winding and variable-geometry rotor. It measures 31.78 × 29.98 mm by 8.69 mm thick, on 51 jewels at 36,000 vph (5 Hz), with around 60 hours (± 10%) of power reserve without the chronograph running.
- Grade 5 titanium caseTripartite, with the crown and chronograph pushers also in grade 5 titanium, microblasted, polished and satin-finished.
- Split-seconds architectureTwo six-column wheels with a vertical clutch. The 5 Hz frequency allows elapsed times to be read to a tenth of a second. Richard Mille records shock and drop simulations, accelerated ten-year ageing of the functions, water-resistance testing and magnetic field trials for the chronograph.
- Rapid windingThe pusher at 8 o’clock rearms the barrel directly, without the crown; 125 presses take it to a full charge. Richard Mille specifies it for restarting a watch that has stopped.
- Fast-rotating barrelOne revolution every six hours instead of the more common seven and a half, which maintains torque across the power reserve.
- DialSapphire, 0.35 mm thick with anti-glare treatment on both faces, held by eight silicon braces in the upper and lower grooves, with titanium counters.
