RM 07-01
A perfect marriage of the delicate and sophisticated, an impeccable aura and ever casual style. Richard Mille dug deep into their exclusive and innovative universe to create a new paradigm for luxury watches in the form of the RM 07-01 Automatic. Each aesthetic option moves in perfect harmony with technical features in an elegant and open design. Yet despite being a reference, the RM 07-01 Automatic eschews all conventions. In the past, present and future, its highly adaptable character has never and will never stop seducing its wearers as it constantly changes to embody the very essence of sophistication.
THE ART OF SEDUCTION
CALIBRE CRMA2
Skeletonised automatic movement with hours, minutes and adjustable rotor geometry.
POWER RESERVE
Around 50 hours (± 10%)
BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM
Microblasted grade 5 titanium with electroplasma treatment gives great rigidity to the baseplate, as well as precise surface flatness which is essential for the perfect functioning of the gear train. Bridges are also in grade 5 titanium, microblasted and electroplasma treatment. The skeletonised baseplate and the bridges were subjected to separate and extensive validation tests to ensure optimal strength requirements.
ROTOR WITH VARIABLE GEOMETRY
- Heavy external outside edge and heavy edge ring in 5N red gold
- Weight segment in heavy metal
- Automatic winding system OneWay® with ball bearings in ceramic
- Bidirectional winding system
This rotor with variable inertia has been incorporated into the caliber CRMA2 as it allows the rotor to be set according to the owner’s activity level. The setting is modified by adjusting the two weights which can be moved into the correct position and fixed in place by spline screws. Inertia of the movement is increased when the two weights are closer to each other and the barrel then rewinds more quickly. If the weights are positioned to the extremities of the rotor, the inertia is decreased, resulting in the barrel winding more slowly.
FREE SPRUNG BALANCE WITH VARIABLE INERTIA
Guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shock and also during movement assembly and disassembly, hence better chronometric results over time. The regulator index has been eliminated, thus guaranteeing a more accurate and repeatable adjustment is possible thanks to 4 small adjustable weights located directly on the balance.

CASE
The design and execution of the watch demonstrates a complete conceptual approach to the movement, case and dial. As a result, everything has been constructed according to an extremely rigorous specifications and in complete harmony.
The three-part case is water resistant to 50 meters ensured by 2 Nitril O-ring seals. The case is assembled with 12 grade 5 titanium spline screws and abrasion resistant washers in 316L stainless steel.
