⇩Please take this opportunity to watch "The 8 Best Richard Mille Watches for 2021"⇩
① "Automatic Flyback Chronograph McLaren"
"Ref. RM11-03"
This is the first collaboration watch between McLaren and Richard Mille, announced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2018. It is made of the proprietary materials "Orange Quartz TPT®" and "Carbon TPT®", which have excellent durability and lightness, and the orange coloring stands out in the design. The titanium pushers are the headlights of McLaren's sports car "720S", the titanium crown is the wheel, and the titanium parts embedded in the bezel are the same shape as the "F1" air intake, and the attention to detail has captured the hearts of fans. It is equipped with the latest automatic movement "Cal.RMAC3" equipped with complex mechanisms such as annual calendar, oversized date, flyback chronograph, and countdown timer. The number of production is 500, the same as the number of sports car "McLaren Senna", and it seems that it was sold preferentially to customers who purchased McLaren's Ultimate Series. For example, the "Ref. RM11-03" is a very popular limited edition model of 150 pieces that uses a white ceramic bezel to symbolize the classic car race "Le Mans Classic."
② "Bubba Watson"
"Ref. RM055"
Bubba Watson is a professional golfer who is known for being "a rare long hitter" with a height of 191 cm. The "Ref. RM055" is a hand-wound model that inherits the design of the "Bubba Watson Tourbillon" "Ref. RM038". The "ATZ ceramic" used for the bezel is said to be a material that is scratch-resistant, resistant to discoloration, and second only to diamonds in hardness. The movement "Cal. RUML2" is designed to withstand an acceleration of 5000G, which shows its high durability. This is a model that uses a black color, but the same model number (Ref.) with a white rubber coating on the middle case and case back and the all-gray model released exclusively at boutiques are also very popular.
3. Rafael Nadal
"Ref. RM035"
Rafael Nadal is a professional tennis player who has won 22 Grand Slam titles, the most in history. At first, he stubbornly refused to wear a watch on the court, but as the relationship between the two companies gradually deepened, such as by co-developing the world's lightest tourbillon with Richard Mille, the Rafael Nadal watch was born. This watch is extremely popular and well-known among the brands, and is even part of a series. It is also famous for being worn by Rafael Nadal during matches. The case is made of high-strength materials called "Magnesium WE54" and "Aluminum 2000", and weighs about 40 grams, so light that you will forget you are wearing it. The hand-wound movement "Cal. RMUL1" is skeletonized and boasts a power reserve of about 55 hours. With its overwhelming popularity and popularity, I think it is an outstanding model in terms of asset value. By the way, when it comes to the model worn by Rafael Nadal, many people may have the image of the Ref. RM035, which was released in the summer of 2016 and features a beautiful contrast of vivid red and white. This model is of course also popular and has been rising in price.
④ "Yohan Blake"
"Ref. RM61-01"

The third model, Ref. RM61-01, is named after the Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, also known as the Beast. This is a rare model limited to 100 pieces in a monochrome black and white finish. He is said to be committed to supporting underprivileged children in Jamaica through the charity organization YB Afraid, and Richard Mille is said to have been impressed by his work and humanity and formed a partnership with him. The Yohan Blake model features an ergonomically designed asymmetrical case and a bridge with beautiful curves running through the movement. This asymmetrical case design is designed to prevent the crown from rubbing against the runner's wrist. The bezel and case back are made of TZP black ceramic, which is highly scratch-resistant and has a low thermal conductivity, and the middle case is made of NTPT carbon, a high-tech material made by stacking multiple layers of carbon fiber and applying pressure to form it. When it comes to the "Yohan Blake" model, I'm sure many people will first think of the "Ref. RM59-01," a limited edition of 50 pieces featuring the Jamaican flag's image colors and a tourbillon. However, this model is more practical, so we have selected it as the one we would like to recommend.
⑤ 『Automatic Declutchable Rotor』
"Ref. RM030"

Finally, we will introduce a model limited to 50 pieces in Japan, which features a color scheme that imitates the Japanese flag. The appeal of the "Ref. RM030" is that it has a relatively simple design among [Richard Mille] watches, and above all, it is equipped with a clutch mechanism called a "declutchable rotor."
The "declutchable rotor" is one of Richard Mille's unique innovations and is a unique specification. Another feature is that a large 50.00mm x 42.70mm case was adopted for the first time in a three-hand model. (*Same as "Ref. RM011") "Ref. RM030" comes in a variety of colors, but the popular white and black color schemes are easy to use and are particularly recommended.
summary
What did you think.
The Richard Mille collection, which includes many models priced at hundreds of millions of yen, is made with the highest quality materials and technology, and the background to their manufacture is also interesting. Although the secondary market price seems to have calmed down a bit compared to a while ago, it still remains at a high level due to the extremely small amount of circulation. Many models, especially limited edition models with a small production number, are also guaranteed to be assets, so why not consider purchasing one while keeping this aspect in mind?
