???? Integrated RMUL2 movement thin case design ?? RICHARDMILLE RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Ultimate Edition watch ?? Let's have a brief look at the origin of this watch first. The first RM 61-01 Yohan Blake wristwatch was born in 2014. Yohan Blake is a Jamaican sprinter and has a place on the list of famous track and field athletes. If this is your first time to learn about this watch, you can probably understand its inspiration - a high-end sports watch developed specifically for sports. This RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Ultimate Edition wristwatch was launched by Richard Mille in 2020 and is the final piece of this style and its unique series. ?? is a highlight of the case, which starts with an asymmetrical design. The case is deliberately extended from 2 o 'clock to 5 o 'clock, creating a "narrower left and wider right" shape. The design is not for novelty but to avoid friction between the crown and the sprinter's wrist. Another highlight of the watch case is the application of new materials. The bezel and case back are made of Quartz Carbon fiber (Quartz TPT?) and carbon fiber (Carbon TPT?). The production of this composite material can be said to have gone through numerous checkpoints: The first step is to soak an extremely thin layer of silica (from which quartz carbon fibers are separated) in white resin, then insert a layer of carbon fibers into it and perform layering treatment through a machine. Then, after the fiber layer was heated to 120 degrees Celsius under high pressure, it was sent to the factory in Richard Mill for processing. The processing procedures will form random textures on this composite material, so each watch is unique. ?? Finally assembled with grade 5 titanium spline screws and stainless steel washers to ensure water resistance depth of 50 meters. ?? The crown is made of Carbon TPT? and features an O-ring as a protective device to prevent accidental contact with the crown during movement. ?? Anti-glare treated sapphire crystal glass. The ??RM61-01 "Ultimate Edition" is powered by the RMUL2 skeleton manual winding movement, providing approximately 55 hours of power.
