Richard Mille - RM UP-01 Ferrari Richard Mille celebrates its partnership with Ferrari with the launch of the RM UP-01 Ferrari, an ultra-flat watch measuring just 1.75mm thick, setting a world record for the thinnest mechanical copy watches for sale in the market. Working with the Ferrari team, after dozens of prototypes and more than 6,000 hours of R&D and lab testing, the jaw-dropping RM UP-01 Ferrari was born, breaking our expectations of the brand, while staying true to its guidance Precise, reliable, innovative and the principles of excellence. From the very beginning of the project, the demanding briefing put the performance of the movement first, which meant it had to be an extremely thin movement with a 45-hour power reserve and a balance beating at 4 Hz (every vibration frequency 28,800 times) hours). The hand-wound RMUP-01 movement with hour, minute and function selectors measures just 1.18 mm and weighs 2.82 grams. Aesthetics are clearly dictated by technical goals.Zenith Chronomaster Sport 18.3101.3600/69.M3100 The challenge of tackling an ultra-flat watch precludes traditional movements with superimposed gears and hands. Therefore, Richard Mille chose to distribute the non-stackable parts over a larger surface area by creating a perfect symbiotic relationship between the movement and the case, thus ensuring the necessary rigidity to each other. Nonetheless, Richard Mille has retained the traditional structure of assembling the movement inside the case, rather than a structure that doubles as a baseplate, to ensure overall shock resistance. The base plate and skeletonized bridges are made of grade 5 titanium to ensure perfect flatness without any loss of strength and to ensure optimal functioning of the running train.fashion replica watches The patented extra-flat barrel features an extremely thin spring, while the escapement has been redesigned. To save height, the balance's plate and darts (protective pins) - two components that prevent the anchor from slipping back during the free phase of the balance's movement - were eliminated. The new, also patented, ultra-flat escapement replaces these "anti-reverse" elements with a slender fork with new horns. Likewise, the index is set aside to support a variable inertia balance made of titanium, and its six weights allow for fine-tuned calibration of the adjustment components. The winding mechanism had to be completely rethought and the winding stem, with a minimum diameter of 1.5 mm, could not be used for such a slim watch. In its place are the two crowns on the left, one for function selection and the other for operating selected functions, both integrated into the case as movement wheels with black ceramic inserts to protect the bezel from suffer any wear and tear. Two sapphire crystals, one on the time indicator whose hands are transferred directly to the gears and the other above the regulating mechanism (balance wheel and spring assembly) to showcase the movement, are also reduced in thickness to two tenths of a millimeter, The diameter is calculated to guarantee its resistance during testing.replica U-Boat Classico Watches Another challenge is ensuring its necessary water resistance, as well as the water resistance of the entire case. Assembled with 13 grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel wear washers, the 51mm x 39mm case is water resistant to 1 ATM (equivalent to approximately 10 meters/33 feet). The total weight of the watch including the strap is 30 grams. Challenging testing schedules include wear (especially 10-year accelerated aging of components), waterproofing testing, torsional testing, bending testing, and last but not least, spending hours testing shock resistance, especially with the notorious use of of the pendulum (Charpy shock test), which demonstrated an acceleration resistance of over 5,000 g. Our goal was not to design the RM UP-01 Ferrari as a concept timepiece capable of making watchmaking history, but to ensure that the 150 parts of this powerful collection are suitable for everyday wear. The Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari offers finishes of the highest standard – even in areas invisible to the naked eye – with satin-finished, polished, micro-blasted and hand-bevelled parts. The iconic prancing horse and all references on the case are laser engraved.
