RICHARD MILLE RM 53-01 TOURBILLON WATCH REVIEW

It had been at age three or four as he first mounted a horse, along with a hammer was put into his hands when he’d learn how to have a steed in check - little did he know, he involved to attempt an outing for the pantheon of competitive polo. Just 14 years of age, he'd won the Potrillos Cup, probably the most esteemed youth tournament on the planet. His ascent to the peak faster in 2003, as he became a member of Ellerstina, that he performed 8 seasons and won this years Argentine Triple Crown. Mac Donough’s finest moment, however, was as he had won the ultimate from the Argentine Open with La Dolfina, cementing a location within the history books because the first team in competitive polo to win the Triple Crown three occasions consecutively.

It had been no real surprise then 

That Mac Donough was selected up by Richard Mille to participate the brand’s squad of watch-wielding sporting heroes. The very first watch bearing his name was the RM053, an armour-plated watch that's unorthodox in design even by Richard Mille standards. This season, Richard Mille’s project of placing a tourbillon watch on Pablo Mac Donough’s wrist in exactly what is a bet on physical, rough and often violent contact has arrived at a brand new height. Go into the RM 53-01 Tourbillon Pablo Mac Donough, now without armour plating but nonetheless virtually indestructible.

Shocks and trauma as a result of a polo match (e.g. falling from the horse, or perhaps a hammer blow at full gallop) are frequently great enough to interrupt bone, not to mention wreck a timepiece. The RM 53-01 was created particularly to safeguard it’s own movement from all of these violent impacts. It's outfitted having a glass of laminated azure very, a brand new patented azure very along with a world premiere in the area of watchmaking. Calculating only two.40 mm thick in the center, it comprises two sheets of azure very separated with a polyvinyl membrane. In situation of impact, the glass may crack, but under no conditions shatter - similar to a car’s windshield - therefore protecting the movement. Importantly, additionally, it enables the ‘dial’, hands, and movement to become showcased, not hidden inside a titanium carbide covering as with the seminal RM053.

A high quality micro-brand diver had better be completed with whether first class dive strap or perhaps a superb bracelet. TWCO doesn’t dissatisfy by having an outstanding brushed stainless bracelet. The bracelet is put together using double-sided flat screw heads (screw   screw bar). This design is most likely the only real negative in my opinion concerning the entire watch. Now, that does not mean there's anything wrong using this type of design. However, this design lends to a substantial amount of user error toward scratching in the sides from the links. If hex-mind screws could have been used this to be honest would be among my personal favorite bracelets ever.

The situation from the new RM 53-01 is 

Within Richard Mille’s signature tonneau shape. Calculating 49.94 mm from lug to lug, 44.50 mm wide, and 16.15 mm thick, the timepiece comes with an unmissable presence. But regardless of its chunky size and complexity, the timepiece is supremely light - so light, it feels surreal around the wrist. One may be enticed to consider it’s plastic but everyone knows Richard Mille is about tech. The tripartite situation from the RM 53-01 is crafted inside a material that's a favourite of the trademark: Carbon TPT. Visible are its trademark damascene patterns. The situation, featuring its countless layers of Carbon TPT, is famous because of its excellent potential to deal with micro-cracks and splits, and for that reason ideal for a game title of polo. Around the flank is really a large crown that the manufacturer describes as “torque-limiting”, having a security measure set up to avoid accidental over-winding. It looks a bit toy-like but does permit easy winding and time-setting.
