New Release
Yes, the references from Richard Mille collections seem to become bigger and bigger (and may be less legible) but the watch we're talking about is another marvel from the brand: the RM50-27-01. I'm a great fan of the RM027 line-up and the movement housed in this model is the one we already discovere

The RM027 represents Richard Mille's Tourbillon Rafael Nadal model, produced from 2010 to 2012. This reference belongs to the RM 027 series and features a manual-wind tourbillon movement in a lightweight carbon construction.
The 39mm case is constructed from NTPT Carbon with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. The skeletonized dial reveals the manual-wind RM027 caliber, which provides a 70-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters, and the watch is fitted with a rubber strap.
This reference appeals to collectors focused on Richard Mille's technical approach to lightweight materials and tourbillon complications. The NTPT Carbon case construction and three-year production window from 2010-2012 position this as a specific iteration within the broader RM027 series, combining the brand's material innovations with traditional tourbillon watchmaking.
RM are always brave with their colors - probably red and black is one of their "traditional" pallets Personally - I LOVE this combo!
What an absolutely awesome looking thing...RM back to its best here, must admit have been a bit 'bored' of recent releases, but this is just awesome, really looking forward to seeing some real life pics of this one well done RM
The fantastic caliber in the "traditional" NTPT tonneau-shaped case. The RM010 is for many of us one of the most balanced in the collection, it has nearly all, especially considering the price compared to other RM watches (except the Tourbillon which is, in RM's collections, quite a different feature than in other traditional brands). Cheers.
Indeed, early models from RM, as Titanium based usually, were quite monochrome. Following the demand and to be able to provide a little more diversity, RM has included many color combinations in limited editions, in order to be able to change from time to time and not get people fed up of a specific color overuse. As such, we can't be fans of all the colors and combinations but still we can find 1 that will appeal very much to us. This one is great and people will even be able to change the stra
And probably an Italian one with a reared-up horse ;-)
There are some models that are not to my taste either as I usually like more sober versions. However, I think it is also good that the brand develops a different offer, maybe more "original" and fun than the early collections. This one has all, the material, the excellent caliber, the tonneau-shape... I like it a lot too. Thanks for your input Chris Cheers.
