The Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon ‘Green Lizard’ stands out proudly among the brand’s watches, designed specifically for athletic competition. The watch case is a fresh interpretation of Richard Mille’s beloved tonneau-shaped case, showcasing innovative design. The elongated form between 2 and 5 o’clock prevents crown-to-wrist friction while maintaining optimal comfort. Measuring 51.10 x 43.10 x 15.20 mm, the case is made of TPT carbon fiber composite, a material known for its high strength, lightness, and durability.
One of the first striking features you’ll notice on this watch is the bright, iconic four-prong bridge on the dial. This bridge provides excellent flexibility and secures the entire movement tightly, reducing the impact of external shocks on the watch. The watch houses a manually wound tourbillon movement with a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. Its balance oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with an optimized gear system and variable inertia balance wheel, balancing performance, regularity, and power reserve ratio to perfection.
The watch features a sapphire crystal glass mirror with double anti-glare treatment, with a thickness of 1.2 mm in the center and 1.95 mm at the edges. The strap is made from imported fluororubber, known for its abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, offering a soft and comfortable wearing experience.
