Richard Mille RM 33

Richard Mille RM 033 & RM 33-02 – Ultra-Thin Horology, Refined and Reimagined

The Richard Mille RM 033 and RM 33-02 represent two distinct takes on ultra-thin elegance within the brand’s typically high-performance catalog. Both models maintain the brand’s technical mastery and signature openworked aesthetics, while offering a slimmer, more versatile profile thanks to their round cases and streamlined construction.

RM 033 – The Original Ultra-Thin RM

Introduced in 2011, the RM 033 marked a stylistic shift for Richard Mille as its first round-cased model. Featuring a case thickness of just 9mm, the RM 033 is powered by the skeletonized automatic CRMA2 movement and includes a variable geometry rotor for efficient winding. The design balances minimalist elegance with the technical architecture RM is known for, available in titanium, rose gold, and white gold.

Why Collectors Love the RM 033

• Ultra-thin 9mm case, ideal for daily or dress wear

• Off-centered hour and minute hands add asymmetrical charm

• Skeletonized CRMA2 movement with 55-hour power reserve

• Available in precious metals, with some boutique-limited versions

• A refined, early-gen RM that shows the brand’s elegant side

RM 33-02 – A Sportier Evolution

Released in 2019, the RM 33-02 is a bold evolution of the original RM 033, retaining the ultra-thin profile while adding sport-driven updates. The case features a mix of Carbon TPT® and red gold or titanium, giving it more texture, visual impact, and durability. The dial showcases oversized numerals, a fully skeletonized layout, and sleek integration with the strap for a contemporary sports-luxury look.

Why Collectors Love the RM 33-02

• Ultra-thin case with Carbon TPT® bezel and caseband, adding depth and contrast

• Updated skeletonized architecture with more angular, modern finishing

• Bolder design with oversized numerals and sportier case curves

• Still houses a slim automatic movement with variable rotor geometry
