The Grey Quartz TPT coating adorning the RM 65-01 embodies the essence of modern sophistication. The unique light shade, meticulously developed through months of research and development, stands as a testament to Richard Mille’s unwavering commitment to both aesthetics and compliance with industry standards such as the REACH norms. Encased within the 44 mm chronograph case, a meticulously color-coded display showcases a thoughtful design approach aimed at eliminating any possible confusion. Each pusher corresponds to a specific function, enhancing usability. The color palette plays a pivotal role: light blue accents adorn the hour and minute markers, as well as the small seconds positioned at 6 o’clock. Classic blue takes center stage in highlighting the date display. Vibrant orange indicates the sweep seconds hand of the chronograph, as well as the 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers. The winding mechanism is associated with a vivid shade of yellow, while the split-seconds hand stands out in a regal hue of purple.
