Don't let the look of this Richard Mille RM 11-05 Automatic Flyback Chronograph GMT with pale blue-hued strap fool you. It is crafted using an all-new proprietary material called Cermet that is exclusive to the brand. It is as light in weight as titanium but has the same hardness as a diamond. The material gets its charcoal gray color from metallic zirconium and high-performance ceramic that are heated and pressed together. There is a Carbon TPT® (Thin Ply Technology) case band, and the watch houses a mechanical movement and offers flyback chronograph, GMT display and annual calendar. Just 140 pieces will be made.

From the inception of the brand in 2001, Richard Mille endeavored to apply to its watchmaking the same techniques employed by the most innovative industries. Inspired by developments in aerospace engineering and Formula 1 racing, the timepieces created by Richard Mille embody technological advancements that surpass that of horology alone.This dedication to agility has procured over 80 models including the world's thinnest manual-wind watch, the Richard Mille RM Up-01 Ferrari, debuted in 2022. Unique from other ultra-thin watches, this timepiece does not utilize the caseback as a mainplate, nor contain a crown, instead time can be set via an innovative wheel mechanism found on the side of the dial. Other Richard Mille collections prove equally impressive, including the colorful RM 88, latticed RM 74-01 and astronomical RM 52-05 co-designed by Pharrell Williams.
