Simply Abu Dhabi XXII

The skeletonised movement baseplate with bridges in black PVD- treated grade 5 titanium has a large date at 12 o’clock created from two skeletonised, rotating discs, and a function selector that allows the wearer to choose between winding, neutral or handsetting, all without the need to pull the crown in different positions. Two pushers resembling drops of water, one placed between 10 and 11 o’clock (date adjustment) and the other between 4 and 5 o’clock (function selector), allow for easy access to the functions, with the action chosen appearing in a small window (H-N-W) between 3 and 4 o’clock. The RM037 Ladies required a complete conceptual approach to house the movement, signature tonneau-shaped case and dial. Everything was constructed according to rigorous specifications, in the manner of the analytical engineering methods used in the design of Formula 1 racing cars where the chassis and the engine are developed in total harmony. The MR 037 contrasts a range of unique materials, such as red gold for the caseband and TZP black ceramic for the bezel and the caseback. As always with all of Richard Mille watches, the finishing is exacting and impeccable, and the RM 037 blends satinated surfaces with chamfered, blasted, brushed and polished areas, including rare black polishing, to ensure that every single aspect of the movement, no matter how tiny, is visually satisfying. The RM 037 is also available in TPZ black ceramic, in ATZ white ceramic and in white or red gold.
