About the Watch

Richard Mille’s persistence is among his best qualities. One of his most consistent goals is material creation, leading to his groundbreaking watchmaking work.

The RM 11-03RM Flyback Chronograph has remained in production ever since McLaren Automotive and Richard Mille linked together. They merged their shared interests in innovative design, novel materials, and contemporary workmanship. It was created in close partnership with McLaren Design Director Rob Melville.

The watch’s timing function (Start/Stop and Reset/Fly-back) is clearly defined with useful typefaces. Its concept is based on the pedals used in Formula One cars. This RM 11-03 flyback timing is the result of all of these optimal modifications. The mechanical timepiece is sportier and more fashionable, unlike the previous model.

The RM 11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph features a tonneau-shaped rose gold casing with a thickness of 16.15 mm and a diameter of 44.50 x 49.94 mm. It has a transparent sapphire crystal case back that enables the owner to see the timepiece’s movement. The RMAC3 Calibre with automated winding movement powers the RM 11-03, which features a conventional time function, flyback Chrono, 60-minute timer, and big date window.

Prominent yellow patterned hour indicators and Arabic numerals adorn the skeletonized dial, while a green tachymeter scale rings the dial at the bezel. Its dual mainspring barrels are positioned beside each other for reliable coupling as well as a power reserve of up to 55 hours. The bracelet is black rubber, and the clasp is a double flip across titanium clasp. It can withstand up to 50 meters of water (165 Feet).

The RM 11-03 Flyback Chronograph case is built of Carbon TPT intertwined with yellow quartz TPT. This results in a durable and lightweight casing that pays homage to a signature McLaren color. The Carbon TPT improves the RM 11-03’s mechanical properties while also providing resistance to severe situations.

The titanium pushers on the Carbon TPT casing are designed to match the McLaren 720S’s unique headlamps. The bezel is adorned with titanium inlays shaped like the classic F1’s air-intake snorkel and displays the emblem. The complicated grade 5 titanium crown is formed like a lightweight McLaren wheel, and the Speedmark sign is integrated into the specially designed rubber strap.

Overall, the RM11-03 series by Richard Mille is the ideal ergonomic design that complements the brand’s distinctive architecture, which strives for perfection. Each element of RM 011 is a visual representation of its purpose. The RM 11-03 timepiece keeps the most known distinctive form. However, the craft employed is significantly superior to that of previous models. The watch depicts the titanium design, though there are rose gold and titanium variations to pick from. Whichever one you like, they all have a carefully made brushed surface that contrasts sharply with the refined chamfer.
