Richard Mille RM010 Automatic
The RM010 represents Richard Mille's automatic offering within the RM 010 series. This reference was produced from 2005 to 2015, establishing it as a decade-spanning model in the brand's catalog. The RM010 designation indicates its positioning as an automatic variant within Richard Mille's numerical reference system.
The 39mm case is constructed from titanium and features a fixed bezel configuration. Sapphire crystal protects the skeletonized dial, which reveals the mechanical components beneath. The watch houses the RM010 automatic caliber, providing 55 hours of power reserve. Water resistance extends to 50 meters, and the timepiece is completed with a rubber strap.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking Richard Mille's distinctive aesthetic in an automatic format. The titanium construction and skeletonized dial presentation reflect the brand's technical approach to watchmaking. The ten-year production span from 2005 to 2015 makes this a relatively accessible entry point into Richard Mille's automatic collection for contemporary collectors.
still working through the RM018 series. That one looks like the 'Tigers Eye' piece that is one of the working models (along with onyx). However, could be wrong on that one. The RM035 is a great sports watch. The weight and the robustness tests for the movement make it an ideal sports watch. I loved it. Great detailed photos of the watch. Looked good on the wrist! Thanks again and glad you had a good time. Andrew H
I am not a diver, so you may not be impressed, but I was. This "Running Indicator" shows you in the deep see that the mechanism/ movement is really working with black and white circling color. If the diver believes the alarm is set and the watch is working fine but for some reason it got broken during the dive, then the oxygen will have gone before you know it. Anyway, this is a short video, but I was impressed. That's it! Ken
Amazing looking pieces! Of all the models I still love (and very much want) the RM10 the most. And I have to say, that Boucheron number just blows me away... Thanks for another excellent report, Ken.
and the 035 looks absolutely outstanding, I too would be tempted if I had the means . Many thanks again for another excellent report. Filip
It's somewhat sobering to see the list prices in Yen!
Wow! Those are the absolutely clearest photos i have seen of the 35 up close since it's launch! Thank you for taking so many shots of them for me, i in particular appreciate the macro shots of the movement because it helps me confirm certain points that i have been asking myself of lately. Did you manage to "play" with the watch? E.g. Pull the crown out? If you did, could you confirm that this watch indeed has a hacking seconds feature? Why Ken, if it pulls on you that much, pull on it! Hontou n
