Richard Mille has unveiled a new version of its RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer, now crafted in red gold and titanium and featuring an openworked dial highlighted by pink and burgundy accents.
The defining feature of the RM 63-02 is its innovative take on the world-time complication. Rather than relying on a traditional crown or pushers for adjustment, Richard Mille’s engineers have seamlessly integrated the mechanism into the rotating bezel, allowing the time to be set through the bezel itself.
Made from microblasted 5N red gold and mounted on ball bearings, the bezel enables the wearer to choose a reference city with a smooth rotation, instantly revealing the corresponding local time.
An integrated wheel linked to the hour wheel automatically sets the time for the selected city at 12 o’clock, while simultaneously updating the remaining 23 time zones displayed around the bezel.
A 24-hour inner ring provides clear legibility across all time zones, while a two-tone pink and burgundy disc differentiates day from night.
The RM 63-02 is housed in a round 47 x 13.45 mm case crafted from satin-finished 5N red gold with polished bevels, complemented by a grade 5 titanium caseband whose finishes mirror those of the front.
Secured by 12 spline screws in grade 5 titanium, the three-part case is water-resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet, thanks to two Nitrile O-ring seals.
The oversized crown is accented with a burgundy Alcryn collar, an advanced material that delivers the supple feel of vulcanised rubber while providing enhanced resistance to abrasion and environmental wear.
A push-button at 4 o’clock allows the user to switch between winding, hand-setting, and neutral modes. A small aperture at the same position indicates the selected function: W for winding, N for neutral, and H for hand-setting.
Entirely developed in-house by Richard Mille, the CRMA4 automatic calibre operates at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and is constructed on a baseplate and bridges made from grade 5 titanium.
On the dial side, a prominent black rhodium-coated bridge with circular brushing showcases the movement of the world-time mechanism’s gears. This dynamic display improves legibility while drawing attention to the oversized date.
Located at 12 o’clock, the date display uses two skeletonised titanium discs and is adjusted via a gold pusher set into the left side of the case at 11 o’clock.
The fast-rotating barrel delivers a power reserve of approximately 50 hours and is wound by a bidirectional rotor crafted from 5N red gold and grade 5 titanium, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
The exceptional finishing of the CRMA4—from polished bevels and satin-brushed edges to microblasted bridges enhanced by PVD and electro-plasma treatments, as well as circular-brushed wheels—reflects the meticulous attention given to every component.
Limited to 100 pieces, the new Richard Mille RM 63-02 Automatic Worldtimer in red gold and titanium is priced at approximately SGD 334,000, excluding taxes.
