INTRODUCTION
As part of his worldwide campaign to promote cars and road safety, Jean Todt, President of the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile), has travelled to over 130 different countries since his election in 2009. His adventure inspired the concept behind this model: the ultimate traveller’s watch.
Richard Mille wanted to offer extreme travellers like Jean Todt an easy and useful method for keeping track of travel through time zones with a special timepiece that manages time zones with unique simplicity and ease.
Wherever you may be, the watch provides a direct display of the exact local time in major cities all over the world, making it simple to manage your universal diary.
Immense Complexity
We wanted to offer a timepiece that could allow such a demanding traveller to deal with time zones with unique simplicity and ease. The objectivel has been completely achieved with the RM 58-01.
Baseplate And Bridges Made Of Grade 5 Titanium
Measuring 34mm in diameter, the calibre RM58-01 is supported on a baseplate of grade 5 titanium, a material also utilised for the bridges.
Manufacturing these components in grade 5 titanium with a black PVD coating confers great rigidity on the whole assembly, as well as the precise surface flatness essential for perfect functioning of the gear train.
The skeletonised baseplate and bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimize their resistance capacities.
Multiple-timezone Adjustment Mechanism
Behind its apparent simplicity hides a technical mechanism of immense complexity.
In contrast to other time zone watches, the RM 58-01 does not involve a pusher to change from one time zone to another. The time is set by simply rotating the bezel anticlockwise, making adjustment a much quicker operation. The rotating bezel incorporates a dedicated wheel connected to the movement that acts directly on the hour wheel. Turning the bezel anticlockwise ensures quicker, more accurate time setting. The lower disc, divided into 24 hours, shows the time in other cities and indicates whether it is day (white) or night (black).
Richard Mille wanted a device that would be very simple for the user; nonetheless, this innovation is the outcome of many hours of work by Richard Mille’s movement and case engineers, who managed the feat of linking the bezel and movement with a special gear train for perfect interaction, while ensuring that the whole timepiece remains water-resistant.
Free-sprung Balance With Variable Inertia
The free-sprung balance offers better reliability in the event of shocks, movement assembly and disassembly, and also guarantees better chronometric results over an extended period of time.
Winding-barrel Teeth And Third-wheel Pinion With Central Involute Profile
The central involute profile of the winding-barrel teeth and pinion provides an optimal pressure angle of 20°. This promotes effective rotary motion and compensates for possible variations in the engagement of the going train thus ensuring excellent torque transmission with a distinct improvement in performance.
The safest method for transactions of luxury watches online.
Yes. Every product we sell is authenticated using a multi-point inspection. We buy our own watches too! Just to keep you confident, we also offer a 100% refund guarantee for any authenticity issues.
Unworn is what most of our inventory is currently on condition. We do sell pre-owned watches for a discount, so that will also be communicated when you get into contact with us.
We offer free overnight shipping and orders are processed same day. So often our customers receive their watch next day, or day after on more rare occasions. Exact delivery times will vary based on carrier and availability.
It depends. We have multiple inventory locations, but no physical showroom. Depending on availability, and purchase, we could schedule you to see the watch before you purchase. However, it does require a deposit.
No. We are an executive team of 3 that have been working on 47th st in NYC (Diamond District) for close to 20 years now. Recently, we wanted to expand worldwide, so we opened WATCHXNYC – an online showroom brand to showcase our inventory and sourcing abilities. Rest assured, we know watches well.
