The Richard Mille RM 59-01 pays homage to Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake and his home with its striking design and exceptional performance. Inspired by the vibrant colors of the Jamaican flag, the watch features skeletonized hour and minute hands tipped in red, surrounded by hand-painted green and yellow accents on the dial.
Crafted with precision and innovation, the 50mm x 43mm tripartite case is made from a translucent composite formed by carbon fiber nanotubes. This unique material not only adds to the watch's aesthetic appeal but also provides remarkable shock resistance, making it ideal for sprints, runs, and other athletic activities. The case is secured with grade 5 titanium spline screws, ensuring durability and reliability.
The RM59-01 is powered by a skeletonized, manually wound tourbillon movement, which operates at an oscillating rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour. With a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, this movement delivers optimal performance, regularity, and power reserve. The combination of grade 5 titanium with anticorodal aluminum Pb109 in the going train, along with a variable inertia balance, further enhances the watch's precision and reliability.
Styled on a vibrant green rubber strap, the Richard Mille RM059-01 exudes energy and athleticism, reflecting the spirit of Yohan Blake and the dynamic culture of Jamaica. With its exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, this timepiece is a true testament to Richard Mille's dedication to innovation in watchmaking.
