Quick TakeThe Richard Mille RM 39-01 transcends mere timekeeping – it embodies the spirit of flight. Think of it as a mechanical flight engineer on your wrist. The intricate RMAC2 caliber powers not only timekeeping but a suite of tools designed with a pilot's needs in mind. That rotating slide rule bezel is a stroke of genius, turning the watch into a miniature flight calculator. The oversized date? Perfect for those blurry-eyed early morning pre-flights. The flyback chronograph? Ideal for timing those critical legs. This watch isn't for the timid; it's for those who, like the RM 39-01 itself, dare to push boundaries.

DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 39-01 Automatic Winding Flyback Chronograph Aviation presents a masterclass in horological engineering tailored for aviators. At its foundation lies the RMAC2 caliber, an intricate self-winding movement composed of a staggering 620 individual components and 62 meticulously crafted jewels. This technical powerhouse offers a meticulously regulated display of hours, minutes, and seconds, complemented by a substantial oversized date aperture at the 12 o'clock position and a clear indication of the current month. Pilots will appreciate the dedicated UTC function, displaying the standardized time zone essential for aviation communications.

Functionality is the RM 39-01's hallmark, starting with its flyback chronograph specialization. Rather than the standard stop-reset-start sequence of typical chronographs, the flyback mechanism enables an instantaneous reset and restart of the timing function with a single push. This capability proves invaluable for measuring successive intervals in flight. The watch's connection to aviation is underscored by its extraordinary bezel design. Here, Richard Mille has meticulously integrated a fully functional E6-B slide rule. Its two concentric bezels – one fixed, one rotating – are etched with complex scales enabling inflight calculations of fuel burn, ground speed, air density, and even rapid unit conversions. The RM 39-01 prioritizes durability with its case construction, sculpted from exceptionally strong yet lightweight grade 5 titanium, ensuring resilience in demanding cockpit environments.
