The Richard Mille RM59-01 Tourbillon, with its dazzling T-set diamond-encrusted case, stands out brilliantly. Known as the ‘Diamond Lizard,’ this watch holds its own in the pantheon of the brand’s timepieces, crafted specifically for athletic performance. The watch case is a bold reimagining of Richard Mille’s beloved tonneau shape, stretching between the 2 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions to avoid wrist abrasion while maintaining superb comfort. Measuring 51.10 x 43.10 x 15.20 mm, it’s an engineering marvel.
Perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the vivid four-claw bridge on the dial. This bridge, with its remarkable flexibility, tightly secures the entire movement, protecting the watch from external shocks. Equipped with a manual winding tourbillon movement, the RM59-01 offers approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Its optimized gear system and variable inertia balance wheel ensure top-tier performance, consistency, and power reserve balance.
The watch features a sapphire crystal glass design with double-sided anti-reflective treatment, boasting a thickness of 1.2 mm in the center and 1.95 mm on the edges. For the strap, there are two options: a breathable and lightweight canvas strap with a TPT carbon fiber loop buckle or a durable and corrosion-resistant imported fluororubber strap with a convenient spring clasp folding buckle. Each provides a unique blend of comfort and resilience, suitable for any activity or environment.
