The titanium RM 60-01 has a round case measuring 50mm x 16.33mm and is in production to support the 2021 edition of the Les Voiles Regatta - although the event has been cancelled this year. Richard Mille donates all proceeds from the sale of the RM 60-01 Automatic Flyback Chronograph Les Voiles de St Barth to local causes on the island.

The RM 028 Les Voiles de St Barth Edition, the first watch associated with St Barth's Regatta, was released in a limited edition in 2010. It was followed by the RM 60-01 Regatta, released in both 2015 and 2017. The RM 60-01 returns with a new version for 2021.

As with past iterations, there is a countdown timer. This one is unique in the world of regatta replica swiss watches because the countdown display - located in the subdial at 9 o'clock - can read 0-60 minutes elapsed time, and 60-0 remaining time. There is also a 24-hour counter at 6 o’clock for events over 60 minutes.

The Richard Mille automatic movement RMAC2 features a 55-hour power reserve, flyback chronograph, oversized date display at 12 o'clock, and month indicator.

The marquee function of the RM 60-01 is the orientation of the northern and southern hemispheres without any complicated calculations. Just adjust the central UTC hand to point to the sun and rotate the bezel to display the local time on the bezel. Then align the north, south, east and west directions of the compass correctly.

The RM 60-01 bezel features carbon TPT® carbon fiber for the first time, which is lightweight and durable, enhancing the sporty feel and appearance of the watch, and contrasting with white, turquoise, red and yellow markings.Best cheap watch

Richard Mille Unveils New Limited Edition RM 60-01 for St. Barth's Regatta

The Swiss watchmaker has launched a new edition of the RM 60-01 in homage to the 9th Les Voiles de St. Barth Regatta.

Richard Mille has launched the latest RM 60-01 Regatta Flyback Chronograph, which is about to enter the race. The new sailing watch celebrates the 9th edition of Les Voiles de St. Barth Regatta, for which the Swiss watchmaker has been the title sponsor since 2010. Despite the devastation that Hurricane Irma devastated to St Barths last year, the race has set sail this past Sunday, April 8, and will continue until Saturday, April 14. Every year, the RM timepiece is updated with a new colorway and presented to the winner of the overall best performance in the Maxi class competition. For the past 2 years, Chairman, President and CEO of Ameresco, the energy services company of the Proteus team Officer George Sakellaris took home a six-figure RM 60-01. Before Sakellaris' win, former United Technologies chairman George David and his team had won Richard Mille's top award for 4 consecutive years at the Rambler. This year, the acclaimed lightweight grade 5 titanium watch comes in a refreshed vivid yellow with sky blue hour and minute hands for improved visibility at sea.Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II 126720

Despite its low weight, the RM 60-01 is a 50mm watch and comes with a serious set of complications and navigation designed to keep course at sea. This timepiece features a flyback chronograph, annual calendar with oversized date, running seconds and UTC (Universal Time Coordination). The flyback chronograph ensures that the wearer can reset it without stopping the mechanism - the rest button quickly resets it to zero in order to immediately time another interval.

The RM 60-01 is equipped with a quick-locking chronograph pusher and a release mechanism activated by turning the sub-crown to prevent accidental changes in the chronograph display. The UTC hand is marked by a long yellow hand with an arrow and can be adjusted by means of a button. Sailors can point the hands at the sun (assuming ideal weather conditions) and then use the bezel to align the UTC hands with the local time on the circumference of the bezel—white numerals for the northern hemisphere and yellow for the southern hemisphere. Once set, the compass heading marked in white on the bezel will align with the direction of the Earth's surface. When the watch is not used for marine voyages, the 24-hour scale can set a second time zone.

The RM 60-01 is equipped with the RMAC2 self-winding movement with a rotor that can be adjusted to the wearer's activity level through six different positions. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (328 feet) and has a power reserve of up to 50 hours.replica U-BOAT Watches
