Quick TakeThe Richard Mille RM 022 Tourbillon Aerodyne Dual Time Zone is where aerospace precision meets horological audacity. Imagine a stealth fighter bound to your wrist: the honeycomb titanium aluminide baseplate evokes strength and cutting-edge technology, while the 'flying wing' design hints at its aerodynamic inspiration. The tourbillon peeks through like the powerful engine of this mechanical marvel, regulated by the visible torque indicator. Add in the dual time zone and the gear-inspired crown selector, and you have a timepiece that doesn't just tell time, it conquers it – across continents and with unwavering precision.

DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 022 Tourbillon Aerodyne Dual Time Zone stands as a testament to groundbreaking materials and meticulous engineering. Its unconventional baseplate sets it apart, featuring a composite structure with a titanium exterior frame. At its core lies honeycomb orthorhombic titanium aluminide, an advanced alloy initially developed for aerospace applications due to its remarkable rigidity, low thermal expansion, and exceptional resistance to torsion. The honeycomb pattern is achieved with precise laser-welding, as traditional casting would compromise its integrity.

The baseplate's design echoes aeronautical influences, resembling the profile of a flying wing aircraft. The winding barrel and tourbillon reside within the central cavity, supported by airy, four-armed bridges that enhance the watch's technical aesthetic. Beyond its striking materials, the RM 022 offers discerning enthusiasts a suite of complications. A torque indicator gives visual insight into the mainspring's tension for optimal timing adjustment, while a 70-hour power-reserve indicator ensures extended operation. The crown-integrated function selector, inspired by racing car gearboxes, lets the wearer seamlessly toggle between winding, neutral, and hand-setting positions, highlighting Richard Mille's emphasis on innovation and durability.
