At 41.70 mm, the RM 33-02 Automatique houses its movement within a case constructed from carbon and rose gold — a combination that contrasts the lightness of high-tech composite with the warmth of precious metal. The matching carbon and rose gold bezel continues this material dialogue, while a sapphire crystal opens a clear view to the skeletonized dial beneath.
The automatic movement powers the watch with no additional complications, keeping the focus on the open architecture of the movement itself. A screw-locked crown secures the case, which carries a water resistance rating of 30 metres, while a folding clasp secures the rubber strap comfortably to the wrist.
Finishing the package is a rubber band that lends a sporting character to what is otherwise a precious-metal timepiece — a hallmark of the Richard Mille approach to blending racetrack sensibility with fine watchmaking.
