Richard Mille Ferrari - Titanium - RM UP-01 TI

The RM UP-01 Ferrari, a collaborative masterpiece by Richard Mille and Ferrari, features an ultraflat manual-winding movement crafted from biocompatible grade 5 titanium (90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium). This exceptional material ensures effortless gear train function and mechanical rigidity. The movement boasts 23 jewels, a variable-inertia balance wheel operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), and a unique escapement design that reduces thickness while maintaining precision.

The skeletonized baseplate and bridges undergo rigorous testing, proving their resilience with accelerations exceeding 5,000 g’s. The case, entirely machined from grade 5 titanium, exhibits sleek lines, a satin-finished caseback, and polished bevels. Laser-engraved references and the iconic prancing horse adorn the case, which is assembled using 13 grade 5 titanium spline screws and abrasion-resistant washers in 316L stainless steel. The monobloc construction optimizes rigidity and ensures water resistance up to 1 atm (10 meters).

The bezel, featuring a function selector and protecting black ceramic inserts, adds both functionality and style. The movement's dimensions are 41.45 x 28.85 mm, with a thickness of 1.18 mm. The escapement design eliminates the dart and safety roller, reducing height and enhancing durability. A variable-inertia balance wheel, shock protection by Kif, and a mainspring barrel with improved performance characteristics contribute to optimal chronometric precision.
