Catalogue Essay
In late 2023, Richard Mille introduced the RM 30-01 Automatic with a declutchable rotor, a successor to the RM 030. This new model comes in two case variations, both featuring the classic Richard Mille tonneau shape with a slightly wider, arched design for a snug fit on the wrist. The present example is crafted entirely from satin-finished grade 5 titanium, a hypoallergenic material known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and shocks. The titanium caseband is secured to the bezel and caseback with 20 spline screws, ensuring durability and precision.
At the heart of the RM 30-01 is the skeletonized Caliber RMAR2, which introduces advanced energy management. A function selector at 2 o’clock allows the wearer to toggle between hand-setting, date-setting, and winding modes, with the selected function displayed on a hand at 3 o’clock.
While the RM 30-01 retains the signature Richard Mille aesthetic, subtle updates set it apart from its predecessors. The titanium bridges feature a new geometry, giving the dial a fresh look, while the crown has been redesigned with a satin finish, microblasted tooth gullet, and polished edges. Touches of orange and blue add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic black and grey palette, making this a more understated and serious take on the RM design language.
Having left the boutique in May 2024, the present example is in excellent condition and is accompanied by its original accessories. A perfect choice for those who appreciate Richard Mille’s technical innovation and bold design, this RM 30-01 is a modern masterpiece of horology.
