A High-Performance Caliber and Luminous Design

The technical expertise required to create a high-precision movement within such a thin case (36 x 45.65 mm) was remarkable! This feat is achieved through the brand-new in-house automatic caliber CRMA9: a true labyrinth of titanium designed to maximize light flow thanks to its 67 skeletonized openings. These perforations create an impression of lightness and transparency while emphasizing the interplay of shapes and depths within the movement.
This innovative movement enhances the watch's modernity, while the dial's indices further enrich its visual signature.
Automatic and water-resistant up to 30 meters, the RM 16-02 is available in two case variations: one in micro-blasted, satin-finished titanium with polished bevels, and the other in Quartz TPT Terracotta, a brand-new shade introduced by Richard Mille.
