Best Richard Mille RM 30-01 Automatic with Declutchable Rotor

Richard Mille: The removable rotor of the new RM 30-01 is impressive

Richard Mille has launched an upgraded version of the RM 030 model since 2011. Not only the technical data has been significantly improved.

A successor to the RM030, the new RM 30-01 automatic with removable rotor is a real step forward. Richard Mille watches are available in two cases and offer a wealth of exciting technical details. (Also read: Rafael Nadal wore a $1 million Richard Mille watch to the Australian Open opener.)

Removable rotor ensures consistent accuracy
The brand's high-end—and sometimes downright flashy—design language belies the fact that the RM 30-01, with its removable oscillating weight, three hands, and large date display, is actually a fairly simple concept, albeit in a Richard's iconic tonneau-shaped case Mille. Home. There is no denying the exceptional quality of every element of this watch, but the new RMAR2 caliber is especially worth a look.

An oversized date window (trademark of Richard Mille) is combined with an innovative removable oscillating weight. This means that the rotor is automatically detached from the barrel after it has been fully wound. This optimizes barrel torque and ensures consistent performance. When the power reserve approaches 40 hours, the oscillating weight re-engages to wind the mainspring barrel, ensuring that time accuracy is always maintained.

The button is a function button that can be used to select the winding, set the time and set the date. Almost every other brand in the world would use the traditional crown adjustment position to achieve this, but not Richard Mille - that's what makes all the difference.

The design language symbolizes a mix of balance and energy
The design of the RM 30-01 showcases a new interpretation of the skeletal structure, exuding balance and dynamism. Grade 5 titanium bridges and mounts create the effect of perspective and depth characterized by parallel segments.
