The Richard Mille RM028 is the second nautical watch created by the famed company, after the RM025 which is slightly larger with a diameter of 50 mm. The RM028 isn't only an extremely charismatic wristwatch, it is also a proper tool watch and no compromise on the technical aspects was made during its creation. Whilst it has a generous diameter of 47 mm, the comfort on the wrist is optimized thanks to its curved back. The tripartite case is water resistant up to 300 meters following ISO 6425 diver's watch specifications. No less than eight silicon braces protect the inside of the case and the movement.
The uni-directional bezel is made of three layers and is screwed to the case to guarantee a perfect adjustment and safety. It is unlocked by pressing the two pushers at 12 and 6 o'clock. The rubber strap is screwed to the case to ensure maximum security, even in extreme conditions.
Despite being a skeletonized watch, the legibility of the watch is ensured by the large luminescent hands, exclamation point and Arabic numerals.
The proven caliber RMAS7 is one of the signature movements of Richard Mille. Thanks to its adjustable rotor geometry, it is perfectly adapted to intense activity. A water resistance of 300 meters (30 ATM) is achieved using a three-part case construction with 22 torque screws tightened into the bezel and completely integrated lugs. Featuring a variable winding level, the RM 028′s skeletonized caliber incorporates a rotor of variable geometry with two wings, a pioneering micro-engineering development that automatically adjusts the level of automatic winding to the user's movements.
