Richard Mille is renowned for his avant-garde timepieces that blend traditional complications with cutting-edge technology, often seen adorning the wrists of world-class athletes like Rafael Nadal and Mark Cavendish.

The RM015, known as the Tourbillon Marine, was originally designed for the crew of Richard Mille's own racing yacht, Scorcha. Due to the demanding nature of ocean racing, precise time management is crucial, especially considering the races often span multiple time zones. To address this challenge, Richard Mille incorporated a highly practical dual time complication into the watch, complemented by signature features like the tourbillon and torque indicator. Notably, the crown includes a pusher that functions similarly to Rolex's Ring Command bezel, enabling easy adjustment of the crown's purpose with an indicator on the dial. The dial also presents a second time zone indicator at 10 o'clock, power reserve at 1 o'clock, and torque indicator at 3 o'clock, providing guidance on optimal winding for accurate timekeeping.


This combination of functionalities ensures that the timepiece is equipped to meet the specific needs of ocean racers, providing them with accurate timekeeping capabilities and enhanced performance during their grueling competitions. This watch caters to the needs of ocean racers while embodying the spirit of athleticism and engineering excellence that defines the Richard Mille brand.
