Richard Mille RM17-02 Titanium

“Richard Mille's Manual Winding Tourbillon RM17-02 Now in Titanium”

Richard Mille is known for bold, standout designs, and the new RM17-02 manual-winding tourbillon in grade 5 titanium is no exception. While it may not have been widely publicized, this release represents the brand's core essence. Originally launched in White Quartz TPT, this new titanium version brings a nostalgic touch to Richard Mille's roots.

The tonneau-shaped case measures 40.10mm wide, 48.15mm long, and 13.08mm thick, housing the RM17-02 skeletonized movement. Powered manually, it boasts a 70-hour power reserve with a display and function selector. The bridges are treated with blue PVD and 5N gold, while the baseplate is crafted from grade 5 titanium with black PVD treatment. The watch features a variable-inertia balance wheel and fast-rotating barrel, ensuring precision in its tourbillon movement.

With its brushed titanium case, the RM17-02 captures the brand’s early, classic look.

The skeletonized sapphire dial, accented with yellow numerals, brings a modern twist without being overly loud. The blue PVD treatment on the bridges adds a subtle flair, mostly visible on the back of the watch. For anyone seeking a sophisticated yet nostalgic Richard Mille, the RM17-02 in titanium hits all the right notes.
