Press Release
Richard Mille RM003 Dual Time Tourbillon
The RM003 represents Richard Mille's early dual time complication paired with a tourbillon escapement. Produced from 2003 to 2010, this reference combines travel watch functionality with the brand's signature skeletonized aesthetic. The model designation places it among the foundational references in Richard Mille's numbered series.
The 42mm titanium case houses the manual-winding RM003 caliber with 70-hour power reserve. The skeletonized dial construction reveals the movement architecture beneath a sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, with the watch completed by a rubber strap and fixed bezel configuration.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's early production period with dual timezone capability. The seven-year production span from 2003-2010 positions it as a relatively early reference within the brand's catalog. The combination of tourbillon and GMT function targets collectors focused on complicated timepieces with contemporary case materials.
