replica Richard Mille watches Introduces the New RM 63-02 World Time Watch, Available in Titanium and Rose Gold

The latest Richard Mille world time watch reinterprets a classic complication in a fresh way.

While there are countless ways to achieve dual time zone or GMT complications, the design language of almost all world time watches originates from the 1930s—specifically, the design created by Louis Cottier in 1931, a design still seen in world time watches from brands such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. The system uses a rotating 24-hour disc within a movable disk, marked with the names of 24 reference cities for different time zones (one hour apart). The city disc displays the wearer’s current time zone at the 12 o’clock position, continuously displaying the time for all 24 time zones as the 24-hour disc rotates. If the wearer travels to another time zone, the current time can be updated via a button on the case, which simultaneously rotates the city disc, hour hand, and 24-hour disc in one-hour increments. The system works well and is simple to set up and use. Its only real drawback is the inevitable family resemblance between all true world time watches (and some non-world time watches); some GMT watches have 24 city reference indicators but lack a continuously driven 24-hour disc, thus only displaying the time in two different time zones. replica swiss watches

The new RM 63-02 world time watch employs a slightly different design for its world time function. Instead of using buttons to adjust the position of the reference cities, 24-hour bezel, and hour hand, it uses a counter-clockwise rotation of the bezel for one-hour fine-tuning. This unique world time function design was first introduced by Richard Mille in 2015 for the RM 63-02 watch in Grade 5 titanium. However, the bezel setting system for the world time function appeared as early as 2013 on the RM 58-01 Tourbillon World Time watch. (At first glance, the IWC Timezoner appears to be a world time watch with a reference city bezel; however, it lacks a 24-hour drive and is actually a GMT watch.)

The RM 63-02 also features a large date display with two independent discs, although the date doesn’t update with the world time indicator—it’s quickly set via a button at 10:00.

The crown also features Richard Mille’s function selectors—position one for neutral; position two for winding; and position three for pointer setting.replica luxury watches

The RM 63-02 remains a relatively large and thick watch, measuring 47 mm x 13.85 mm. However, as Tim Mosso points out in his video review of the titanium version, the original watch, despite its small size, feels remarkably lightweight. Of course, the new watch is noticeably heavier due to the use of red gold lugs and a bezel, but it shouldn’t be so heavy as to affect wearing comfort—compared to the titanium version, the new watch feels more reassuringly substantial rather than bulky. The downward curve of the lugs and strap also makes it fit the wrist better; this new titanium and red gold version may be targeting RM enthusiasts who want more luxury and practicality than a pure titanium watch. (The mainplate and bridges are also made of grade 5 titanium.)

Its construction also adheres to Richard Mille’s classic style, including five spline screws, a curved case back, and a dark electroplated coating on the movement plates and bridges. The overall aesthetics of Richard Mille high quality replica watches are the complete opposite of almost any traditional watch design and movement finishing you can imagine, but that’s precisely its essence. Richard Mille has been around long enough that its aesthetics have long been a benchmark in modern watchmaking. However, especially given the recent resurgence of interest in classic movement finishing techniques, we can still clearly see that Richard Mille’s design philosophy stems from a rebellion against traditional craftsmanship. These watches give the feel of mass-produced prototypes—as Richard Mille himself puts it, they are F1 race cars on the wrist.
