For the first time in its history, Richard Mille is designing a performance watch for the modern woman. The Richard Mille RM 07-04 Automatic Sport watch is the latest addition to the iconic Swiss luxury watch brand’s collection of high-functioning, one-of-a-kind sports watches. “Totally in tune with the constraints imposed by the disciplines of our sportswomen, it combines ergonomics and ultra-lightness, performance and resistance, extreme skeletonization and architectural aesthetics,” notes the brand.

The design of the RM 07-04 is inspired by the world of high-performance racing and is built for endurance and precision. The watch case is made of Carbon TPT, a material known for its extreme durability and resistance to wear and tear.

Upon first look, there’s one thing we’re certain: the watch is fun. The six new models are vibrant and bold, offered in a dynamic range of strategically paired colors. Perhaps the focal point of the piece, the watch features a skeletonized dial, revealing the intricate inner workings of the watch. The dial is finished with a matte black coating, contrasting perfectly with the luminous hour markers and hands. In addition, the hour markers are made of white gold, which adds a further touch of femininity to the timepiece.

As with all Richard Mille watches, the RM 07-04 is a true masterpiece that took three years to perfect. “We had to resolve a threefold technical challenge: extreme skeletonization, integration of the case with the movement, and inclusion of an inverted function selector,” explains Salvador Arbona, Technical Director for Movements.

Each component is hand-crafted and meticulously assembled to ensure the watch meets the brand’s pristine standards. The watch is powered by the RM 037 caliber movement, which features a variable-geometry rotor that can be adjusted to suit the wearer’s lifestyle and activity level. The RM 07-04 is also water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water sports — even snow sports.

Designed for the active woman leading a daring lifestyle, the RM 07-04 fuses high-tech materials, innovative engineering, and exquisite craftsmanship to create the ultimate female power watch.

And, to make the launch even more powerful, Richard Mille has released the watch alongside some of the world’s most inspiring female athletes, including two motorsport icons, the world’s number two golfer, two track and field stars, and a Winter Olympics triple gold medals: Aurora Straus, Margot Laffite, Nelly Korda, Nafi Thiam, Yuliya Levchenko and Ester Ledecká.
