Richard Mille’s RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari
Introducing the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari, the latest addition and achievement in the ongoing collaboration between Richard Mille and Ferrari.
The design of the watch was influenced by Ferrari’s Centro Stile, which is surprising given that it contributed details like the crown, hands, and strap that mimic the design of the company’s Purosangue seats.
The open movement design showcases a titanium plate etched with Ferrari’s Prancing Horse emblem, which was modelled after the 499P’s rear wing.
The exquisite craftsmanship that characterises Richard Mille is on display in this elaborate design, which features satin-finished and microblasted surfaces with polished bevels.
The new RM 43-01 has a number of features that are influenced by Ferrari’s superior engineering.
Its design mimics the engine blocks and crankcases of the car manufacturer, echoing Ferrari’s industrial precision with angular structures, raised ridges, contrasting finishes, and golden hexagonal screws.
A V8 engine’s clutch wheel affects the barrel jewel setting on the dial, and pushers and case design are influenced by models like the SF90 Stradale and 488 Challenge Evo.
The watch’s three-dimensional visual appeal is completed by the skeletonised 30-minute totaliser on the dial, which mimics the prominence of a tachometer on a contemporary Ferrari dashboard.
The calibre offers accuracy and creativity thanks to its off-centre tourbillon escapement, torque indicator, and 70-hour power reserve.
The movement, which was created in partnership with Audemars Piguet Le Locle, features improvements that maximise durability and power usage.
Microblasted titanium and Carbon TPT® case builds are available for the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph Ferrari, which is limited to 75 pieces each. For more information or to get your own, visit Richard Mille’s official website.
OMEGA x Swatch Mission To The Pink Moonphase
Following the release of the MoonSwatch 1965, OMEGA and Swatch have reunited to create another unique MoonSwatch.
With its striking pink Bioceramic construction and pink VELCRO® strap, the Mission to the Pink Moonphase pays homage to April’s Pink Moon.
The poetic moon phase complication, which features two pink moons resting against a revolving black moon phase disc at the 2 of the clock subdial, is at the heart of its design.
An additional layer of intrigue is added when the moonphase disc’s captivating hidden detail comes to life under UV light.
The OMEGA x Swatch branding, Speedmaster, and MoonSwatch logos unify the watch’s identity within the collection, while the caseback’s gorgeous display of pink hues further accentuates the cosmic theme.
The model’s distinctive and long-lasting finish is a result of the use of bioceramic materials throughout the design.
With a pulsometer scale on its black Bioceramic bezel, the Mission to the Pink Moonphase adds useful functionality in addition to its alluring appearance.
With the pulsometer, users can easily start the chronograph, count thirty beats, and stop the timer to determine their heart rate in beats per minute. The top push button of this feature has a playful embossed heart motif that subtly references the pulsometer’s function.
The Mission to the Pink Moonphase Moonswatch will be sold exclusively at a few Swatch locations starting 1st April for US$310 (~RM1,375). To find out if it’s available at a retailer near you, visit Swatch’s website.
