The collaboration between Airbus and Richard Mille has resulted in the creation of a truly exceptional timepiece: the Richard Mille 50-02 'Airbus' Edition. This horological masterpiece is not only a testament to precision engineering but also a celebration of the synergy between aviation and haute horlogerie.
Inspired by the distinctive window shapes found on private jets, the case of the RM 50-02 boasts a novel design that pays homage to the world of aviation. Crafted from an advanced titanium-aluminum alloy, the same composite material used in the mechanics of Airbus's private luxury aircraft, the case combines lightweight construction with unparalleled durability, ensuring optimal performance in any setting.
At the heart of the RM 50-02 beats the impressive Calibre RM50-02, a manual-winding tourbillon movement that offers a host of sophisticated complications. In addition to displaying hours and minutes, the movement features a split-seconds chronograph with running seconds and a 30-minute totalizer, allowing for precise timing of events. With a power reserve of 70 hours, the RM 50-02 ensures reliable timekeeping even during extended periods of use.
Furthermore, the movement is equipped with torque and function indicators, providing valuable information to the wearer about the watch's winding and operation status.
