In the case of the Richard Mille RM032, more is more, and the more rugged and complicated the watch, the more excitement it elicits. Combining a chronograph with an annual calendar function, rotatable bezel, and waterproof case, the RM032 flouts the traditional design and layout of the diver’s wristwatch. It has everything one might need to explore shipwrecks and coral reefs, and then some. In fact, the watch meets all the requirements of the ISO 6452 standard for diving watches, most notably magnetic, chemical, and shock resistance, as well as adequate legibility at 25 centimeters in total darkness, The titanium case is designed to endure the abuses of an active lifestyle, and the architects at Richard Mille made sure, with a locking mechanism for the crown and a tripartite case, that it would not easily be knocked off by a roving sea creature. At 50mm diameter and 18mm in height, it has a commanding presence.

The rugged RM032 is the perfect companion for the equally rugged and gritty leader of The Expendables, Barney Ross, as he commands an elite group of mercenaries in a struggle against their former co-founder, arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks, now determined to eliminate the group. An expert pilot and well-versed in hand-to-hand combat as well as deft with a pistol, Ross is deployed all over the world, never knowing what conditions he may face. Keeping track of time in these perilous situations is as crucial as keeping track of his teammates and friends, who he would stop at nothing to protect. Being worn in the most strenuous conditions is the hallmark of a Richard Mille, from an Olympic sprinter to a legendary tennis player – so it makes sense to find one on the wrist of a highly-skilled mercenary trained in combat.

Sylvester Stallone wore this exact watch during filming of The Expendables III (2014), and it is clearly visible in the film, as well as in the official trailer (while flying a plane next to Antonio Banderas) and official press photographs. The film stars Stallone alongside Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Kellan Lutz, and Ronda Rousey, as they incorporate younger team members into the veteran Expendables crew. The watch is accompanied by a handwritten note from Stallone and an additional Richard Mille strap. Consigned directly by Mr. Stallone himself, Phillips is honored to offer this exceptional watch that will certainly impress any collector or enthusiast of sports watches.
