The Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon, known as the ‘Green Lizard’, stands out with its unique design and exceptional features, crafted specifically for sports and competition. This watch embodies a new interpretation of the brand’s beloved tonneau-shaped case, with an innovative design that extends between the 2 and 5 o’clock positions, preventing friction with the wrist while ensuring ultimate comfort. Made from TPT carbon fiber composite, the case measures 51.10 x 43.10 x 15.20 mm and offers remarkable strength, lightness, and durability.
One of the most striking elements of this watch is the dial, featuring a vivid four-claw bridge. This bridge provides excellent flexibility, tightly securing the movement to mitigate external shocks and vibrations that could otherwise damage the watch.
Powered by a manual winding tourbillon movement, the RM59-01 offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It boasts an optimized gear system and a variable inertia balance wheel, achieving an exceptional balance between performance, accuracy, and power reserve.
The watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal glass, featuring double-sided anti-glare treatment, with a central thickness of 1.2 mm and edge thickness of 1.95 mm. The imported fluoro rubber strap enhances the watch’s wear-resistance and corrosion resistance, providing a soft and comfortable fit.
