CALIBER RM 011 FELIPE MASSA FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH
This exclusive RICHARD MILLE design allows the rewinding of the mainspring to be adapted most effectively to the user’s activity level whether it be sporting
or non-sporting environments. By adjusting the setting of the rib’s placement, the rotor’s
inertia is modified to either speed up the winding process in the case of leisurely arm movements, slow it down when sporting activities are pursued. As a result, this invention allows the
movement’s winding mechanism to be optimized and personalized to the owner’s lifestyle.

WATCHCASE |
- This was the subject of an entire year of research and development. With regard to the production
of each case, 68 different stamping operations are required for the three main components (bezel,
middle section and case back). The machine tooling process requires 8 days of adjusting the
machines for the bezel, 5 days for the middle section and 5 days for the case back.
Prior to this process, developing a methodology for carrying out this series of operations took
120 hours, the drawings for the tools 130 hours, and implemention 180 hours.
Each rough case involves 202 separate machining operations.
- The design and execution of the watch demonstrates a complete conceptual approach to the
movement, case and dial. As a result, everything has been constructed according to an extremely
rigorous specification, in the manner of the analytical engineering methods used in the design of
Formula 1 racing cars where the chassis and the engine are developed in complete harmony.
For example, a casing ring is no longer used and the movement is mounted on chassis mounting
rubbers (ISO SW) fixed by 4 titanium screws. Features such as these are evidence of uncompromising
workmanship.
- The tripartite case is water resistant to 50 meters, ensured by three Nitril O-ring seals.
The case is assembled with 16 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in
copper-nickel-zinc alloy.

DATE
DISPLAY |
- Semi-instantaneous, placed in a red outlined horizontal aperture under 12 o’clock.
|
|
DIAL |
- In sapphire (thickness: 0.40 mm) with anti-glare treatment (2 sides), protected by 8 silicon braces inserted in the upper and lower grooves.
|
| DOUBLE
BARREL SYSTEM |
- The double barrel system helps to improve the torque stability over a longer period. This is achieved by using more rotationnal turns, reducing pressure and friction on the teeth, the bearings and the pivots, resulting in long-term performance.
