|理查德米勒，「Evolution II」RM003 V2型號，罕有玫瑰金半鏤空兩地時間陀飛輪手動上弦腕錶，配動力儲存及扭矩顯示，2007年。Richard Mille's RM003 was first released in 2002, based on the RM002, which heralded the maker's transition from using brass baseplates to titanium ones, and as in the present example, carbon nanofiber baseplates, as built by movement manufacturers Renaud et Papi. The present example, the RM003 is slightly larger than its predecessor and incorporates a tourbillon and sapphire crystal disc for the dual-time zone indication operated through a rectangular pusher on the left case band. This pioneering wristwatch also features a clutch-like function selector, enabling the wearer to engage the crown in (H) gear to set the hands, (W) gear to wind the movement and (N) gear to fully disengage, thus minimizing the point of stress on the winding stem and any unnecessary force exerted on the watch mechanism's components. Two additional gauges measure the watch's power reserve and the torque or tension in the mainspring. Always seeking to incorporate new techniques and processes drawn from the Formula 1 and automotive world with traditional Swiss watchmaking, Richard Mille's "Racing Machines on the Wrist" hold tremendous appeal with a new generation of collectors. Richard Mille's iconic timepieces endeavor to be "sophisticated, practical, easy to use, and comfortable on the wrist." The present example RM003 in pink gold is highly sought-after by discerning collectors as a future classic of Richard Mille.
