The Richard Mille RM21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne watch is a testament to the pinnacle of high-tech material innovation. Renowned for its intricate case construction, Richard Mille utilizes a blend of Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT for the bezel and pillars, while the mid-case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium. This combination not only enhances durability but also imparts a futuristic aesthetic.
The movement baseplate, visible through the open dial, showcases a high-performance alloy featuring a hexagonal honeycomb structure. This laser-cut design provides both depth and robust lightweight support, adding to the mechanical geometric allure of the watch.
The dial features skeletal hands with lume coating, complemented by black and white alternating hour markers. The barrel at 12 o’clock and the bridge of the tourbillon at 6 o’clock resemble engine blades, further emphasizing the intricate engineering.
Powered by the manually wound RM21-01 caliber, the watch operates at a frequency of 28800vph with a 52-hour power reserve. The movement bridges, like the baseplate, are constructed from titanium and adorned with PVD coating, bead blasting, polishing, and anglage for detailed decoration.
It boasts a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with a blue anti-reflective coating on both sides. The strap options include a durable, comfortable fluorocarbon rubber strap and a breathable canvas strap, offering both style and versatility.
