Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Black Night NTPT Carbon Watch

The case - consisting of three main parts: the caseback, the middle part and the bezel - and all other parts (excluding the screws of course) are made of NTPT. This includes the chronograph's pushers, the large rubber-framed crown, and even the thin frames of the pushers; they all display a visible pattern of this layered carbon fiber. Everything is machined with perfectly even edges and recessed or embossed areas, laser cut with precision.

The tolerances with which the parts fit together are beautiful, even under a loupe or the macro lens of a camera—all the more so given that they're made from materials that were originally designed with entirely different fields of use in mind. Impressive, strength and lightness are the priority, not precision of detail execution.best replica watches

Oddly enough, these delicate details catch the eye even when viewing the watch from a greater distance. The Richard Mille RM 011 is the closest I've ever worn to a perfectly rendered digital image that comes to life in some weird, inexplicable way. The accuracy with which the parts fit together and the way they look (not just on this one but on every other Richard Mille I've ever handled) looks almost uncanny and shows that they are not only made precisely enough to fit just in Together and functioning, or looking good up close, but truly incredibly precise.

One could argue that, from a distance, too much is going on in the design. It might seem like it's trying too hard to impress to overlook the little details — but once it's in your hand (or better: on your wrist), things will fall into place.

This attention to detail is of course also reflected in the dial itself: the hour and minute hands appear to be polished rather than stamped, which gives them a more high-end look than most other skeletonized hands. The cutouts are sharp, the hands are thick and voluminous, while the alternation of polished edges and textured center sections make them look as luxurious as one would expect. Despite the skeletonized design and lack of a traditional dial, legibility is still good — and, to be fair, much better than the pictures make it out to be.cheap watches for sale

Instead of a solid lacquered brass dial, the Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Black Night NTPT uses a sapphire panel and, of course, cutouts for the pinions of the hands. Given the curved profile of the case, the sapphire crystal set in the bezel follows this shape and is also curved, while the sapphire dial inside is completely flat. It does sound fancy; however, placing a curved crystal on top of a flat crystal does look a bit odd at times, making it hard to tell how the transparency and the layers of the dial work together.

In the centre, below 12 o'clock, is the annual calendar's large jumping date display - a mechanism that only needs to be adjusted at the end of February each year - and the month indicator between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions. An even more interesting point is how the two separate chronograph sub-dials work: the one at 6 o'clock shows elapsed hours and minutes, while the one at 9 o'clock acts as a 60-minute countdown timer. An interesting choice, albeit rather gimmicky, that helps establish the symmetrical design of the RM 011 while offering some - minimal - extra functionality over the typical, split hour subdials that are common on most chronographs.Bell & Ross replica

The movement that drives most Richard Mille RM 011 watches is the RMAC1 movement, an automatic chronograph movement with annual calendar, manufactured in partnership with the Vaucher Manufacture. What makes it rather unique and rare is the use of not brass but titanium bridges, which are beveled and bevelled by hand - though the shape of the parts and the high-tech look afforded by the grayscale finish really kill every bit Traditional Haute Horlogerie vibe. The movement looks great, but it's more of a machine than the nice shiny polished surfaces you usually pile on. If there's one aspect of the RM 011 I'd like to see improved, it's the movement. It looks impressive, but its nearly perfect monochrome color scheme and space-age-looking finish left me looking a bit lifeless (by mechanical standards, that is).

The RM 011 case measures 50.00mm lug-to-lug (although the design conspicuously omits this traditional component), is 40mm wide and, due to its curvilinear profile, 16.15mm thick. The strap integration is excellent - but that's no surprise, based on what I learned from one of ProArt's engineers: How the Richard Mille rubber strap seamlessly integrates into the case took 5 years. As far as wearability goes, their work is worth it, as the lightweight and relatively reasonably sized Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Black Night NTPT Carbon fits snugly and comfortably on the wrist.replica urwerk ur 103

While the rectangular cutouts on the upper part of the strap look cool, they also turned out to be very functional, as they did allow for quite a bit of ventilation, keeping my wrists from sweating under the snug fit of the rubber strap. Needless to say, Richard Mille offers this type of strap in a variety of colors - which may leave buyers wishing for a quick strap release system so they can easily switch between straps without using Special screwdrivers and, even worse, taking their watches to boutiques.

So, what can Richard Mille RM 011 Felipe Massa Black Night NTPT bring to those modern brands who are constantly pursuing the ultimate design and technical limits? This NTPT iteration is an unexpected - in other words, novel - development of the established RM 011 series. It uses an intriguingly lightweight new material, has some unique aesthetic properties, and should be very durable in the long run. It is matched by the usual attributes of Richard Mille watches: complex movement, excellent wearing comfort.cheap replica watches
