The Richard Mille RM53-01 Tourbillon is a groundbreaking timepiece that marries advanced watchmaking with the intensity of equestrian sports. Inspired by the valor and resilience seen on the field, this watch embodies the spirit of determination and tenacity.
Crafted with TPT® carbon fiber—the world’s recognized superior composite material—this watch is lightweight yet offers unparalleled shock resistance. Its unique texture not only ensures durability but also adds a distinct visual appeal, reflecting a dynamic sports style.
The barrel-shaped case measures approximately 51x43x16mm and is secured with 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel washers, providing 50 meters of water resistance. The skeleton dial, made of titanium, features luminescent blue markers that ensure time visibility even in low-light conditions.
The exhibition caseback reveals the entire suspension system, showcasing the innovative double baseplate structure. The inner ‘central’ plate firmly holds the gear assembly, while the ‘peripheral’ plate, attached via steel cables, supports the tension system. This division enhances rigidity and guarantees the smooth operation of the tourbillon movement while offering optimal impact protection.
Combining features from the RM27-01 and RM012, the RM53-01 exemplifies Richard Mille’s pioneering spirit in technical horology. As a brand known for its forward-thinking and technical prowess, Richard Mille continues to surprise and inspire, promising a future filled with innovation and excellence.
