Richard Mille and Ferrari unveil the RM UP-01: the world's thinnest watch

To everyone's surprise, Richard Mille and Ferrari have just unveiled their first Wholesale replica watches from their collaboration.

We were all amazed because it wasn't just a watch, it was the thinnest watch in the world: We welcome the new Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari.

Let's see how Saga and the Maranello automaker have teamed up to create this new limited edition of 150 pieces.

New record: RM UP-01 is the world's thinnest watch
The RM UP-01 broke all records as the world's thinnest watch, and in 2022 we've already seen Bulgari break that record with the Octo Finissimo Ultra.

The 1.80mm case thickness of this latest watch is beaten by the 1.75mm thickness of the new RM UP-01.

Certainly no one would have expected Richard Mille to enter the race to develop the world's thinnest high quality watches replica.

In fact, Saga is certainly not known for making ultra-thin watches, as most models are exceptionally thick, such as the RM 11-03 at 16.15mm.

For comparison and context with other luxury watches, the Rolex Submariner 41 is 12.3mm thick, while the Nautilus is about 8.3mm thick.

However, in 2017 Richard Mille launched the RM 67-02, the epitome of his innovation for the athlete's wrist, which is only 7.8mm thick (the thinnest in the catalog to date), thereby introducing the His ultra-thin workhorse.

Undoubtedly breaking away from the brand's unified stylistic codes, the RM UP-01 Ferrari remains true to its identity and spirit, pushing once again the limits of the brand's technical and manufacturing possibilities.

This new model is a triumph of Richard Mille's technical prowess and raises the bar in an integrated approach between mechanism and case where technology is more capable than ever before. Decide on aesthetics.

The Case for New Tabulation Records
The case, made of grade 5 titanium, is tonneau-shaped, but instead of the usual vertical orientation, in this case the luxury watches replica unfolds on a horizontal plane.

Speaking of cases it sounds weird because the components are so small and there is no depth.

Nevertheless, Richard Mille was determined to maintain the traditional architecture, housing the movement components inside the case; even the case back, which we can almost say non-existent in this case, has the function of a pressure plate and guarantees in all cases Totally shock resistant.

As Julien Boillat, Director of Case Technology at Richard Mille, explains, "For such a project it was necessary to set aside all the knowledge accumulated in years of practice and all possible watchmaking standards".

He also continued: "This is exactly what we did during our collaboration with the Audemars Piguet Le Locle laboratory. Removing the last tenth of a millimeter of thickness was an extremely demanding and lengthy process".

As for the dimensions, the case measures 51.00mm x 39.00mm x 1.75mm and is water resistant to 30 meters.

Speaking of finishes, the monoblock and bezel are satin-finished, with rounded and polished corners.

The iconic Prancing Horse logo and all references on the case are laser engraved. The total weight of this super light and slim Ferrari RM UP-01 is only 30 grams.

Caliber RMUP-01
Meeting the challenge of making an ultra-thin fashion replica watches precluded the use of traditional movements with many overlapping gears and hands.

Therefore, a new record-breaking mechanism was developed for the newcomer: the RMUP-01 movement. It is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement with hours, minutes and function selector.

This expertise is now a common feature of RM watches; in this model, it is located between 10 and 11 o'clock, integrated with the bezel, allowing you Choose between.

However, to wind the watch or correct the time, a second crown is required, which is located between 7 and 8 o'clock. On the other hand, hours and minutes are displayed on the counter at 12 o'clock.

Back to the movement, the new hand-wound Caliber RMUP-01 weighs 2.82 grams, has a power reserve of 45 hours and is capable of withstanding accelerations of over 5,000 grams.

In order to ensure that the thickness is kept to a minimum, the experts of Auberge Rock and Richard Mille have developed a new titanium alloy balance wheel escapement, which greatly reduces the overall thickness of the movement, while maintaining the same reliability. Traditional anchor escapement. Swiss.

Salvador Arbona, technical director of movement at Richard Mille, sums it up when talking about the movement:

"Even in the ultra-thin realm, we were determined to create a replica watches for men that met the same design and validation requirements as all our other models. In our quest for absolute subtlety, we had to deliver a watch that was far from a 'concept watch' , but able to fulfill the tasks of the wearer's everyday life in any situation".

Birth of the Richard Mille-Ferrari collaboration

The synergy between Richard Mille and Ferrari, officially announced on February 22, 2021, is something that has been lacking in the watchmaking and engine worlds.

Think of the Swiss brand's motto “a racing machine on your wrist” and it's understandable that racing is the natural habitat for these watches.

Also at the time of the partnership announcement, it was said that Richard Mille and Ferrari's first limited-edition car will go on sale in summer 2022.

The promise was kept, and most importantly, it was kept in ways none of us could have imagined. Ferrari's and Richard Mille's same obsession with excellence, precision, reliability and innovation led to the birth of this new model.
