NEWF Edition — Black Rubber Strap

The NEWF iteration of the RM 055 NTPT Tourbillon stands as a notable achievement in modern composite replication, achieving a verified mass of just 77.2 grams. By utilizing a specialized automated control system to weave the resin-impregnated carbon fibers, this release accurately mimics the distinctive striated layering of genuine North Thin Ply Technology materials without the glossy, plastic-like sheen found on lower-tier alternatives.

At the core of this reference is a bespoke custom manual-winding tourbillon caliber, engineered to replicate the skeletonized aesthetics of the RMUL2 architecture while introducing a functional tourbillon escapement. The baseplate and bridges are treated with a PVD coating to simulate the Titalyt-finished Grade 5 titanium found in the genuine article. Power delivery remains consistent, offering approximately 36 hours of autonomy when fully wound.

Measuring 49.90mm by 42.70mm with a highly accurate 13.2mm thickness profile, the case dimensions sit firmly within acceptable tolerances for 1:1 classification. The skeletonized dial features precise inner flange printing and dark green accents, protected by twin sapphire crystals with colorless anti-reflective coatings. The signature spline screws are correctly tensioned and seated flush against the bezel.

Description

NEWF Richard Mille RM 055 NTPT Tourbillon

A meticulous composite build offering an authentic 77.2g on-wrist experience and a fully functional manual-wind tourbillon.

Powered by Custom Manual-Winding Tourbillon Caliber

Unlike standard skeletonized replicas, this NEWF release integrates a true manual-wind tourbillon mechanism into the RMUL2-styled framework. The caliber utilizes a robust balance wheel and shock protection system to ensure reliable operation despite the delicate appearance of the skeletonized bridges. Gear train operation is highly visible, providing the mechanical engagement expected from a top-tier Richard Mille recreation.

⏱ Accuracy Profile:

±8–12 s/day. As a complex manual-wind tourbillon escapement, positional variance is to be expected, though the rotating carriage actively compensates for gravity-induced rate errors.

  • ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
  • ✅ Complications: Functional 60-second tourbillon, hours, minutes
  • ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional manual winding

Technical Specifications

THE BUILDNTPT Carbon Fiber

The three-part tonneau case measures exactly 13.2mm thick, significantly improving wearability over earlier, bulkier iterations. The automated weaving process creates a unique, unrepeatable carbon grain pattern on every piece.

THE DIALSkeletonized with Flange Accents

The dial architecture is defined by its extreme transparency, featuring a dark green inner tension ring and highly legible luminous markers. The hands exhibit sharp finishing with no visible burrs under magnification.

THE BEZELNTPT Carbon with Spline Screws

Secured by grade 5 titanium spline screws, the bezel sits perfectly flush with the mid-case. The layered carbon fiber prevents the glossy, plastic-like appearance seen on lower-tier replicas.

THE BRACELETVented Black Rubber & Titanium

The integrated black strap conforms naturally to the wrist, drastically reducing the effective lug-to-lug distance. The titanium spring-loaded folding clasp operates with crisp, secure tolerances.

Why NEWF for This Reference?

Many collectors ask: “Why not ZF?”

While ZF established the early benchmark for the RM055 series, NEWF has pushed the boundaries of case thickness and overall mass reduction. By achieving a verified thickness of exactly 13.2mm and a total weight of 77.2g, the NEWF edition offers a tactile experience far closer to the genuine article’s ultra-lightweight ethos, alongside the inclusion of a functional tourbillon escapement.

Full Disclosure: The tourbillon carriage, while visually impressive and mechanically sound, deviates from the genuine RM055, which utilizes a standard time-only RMUL2 caliber. This is a deliberate ‘fantasy’ complication merging the RM055 aesthetic with tourbillon mechanics.

Collector Q&A

Q: How does the 77.2g weight of the NEWF RM055 compare to the genuine piece?

A: While the genuine RM055 weighs slightly less due to its full Grade 5 titanium movement and specialized case alloys, 77.2g is an exceptional achievement for a replica. It feels remarkably light on the wrist, avoiding the top-heavy feel common in cheaper steel-core clones.

Q: Are the spline screws on the bezel functional or purely decorative?

A: The titanium spline screws on the NEWF edition are fully functional and secure the three-part tonneau case together, exactly as intended in the genuine architecture. Specialized screwdrivers are required for any disassembly.

Q: Does the tourbillon function properly, and how should it be wound?

A: Yes, the 60-second tourbillon is fully functional and regulates the timekeeping. It is a manual-wind caliber; you should wind it via the crown until you feel firm resistance, providing approximately 36 hours of power reserve.

Q: Is it accurate for the RM055 to feature a tourbillon movement?

A: Strictly speaking, no. The genuine Richard Mille RM055 ‘Bubba Watson’ is powered by the time-only RMUL2 caliber. This NEWF release is a ‘fantasy’ high-complication variant that integrates a fully functional tourbillon into the RM055 NTPT case design, catering to collectors who want both the carbon aesthetic and a complex escapement.
