RM Factory Edition — Black FKM Rubber Strap
RM Factory’s iteration of the RM 61-01 Yohan Blake represents a significant architectural shift in the landscape of Richard Mille replicas. Moving away from the heavily plated, modified Miyota calibers of the past, this release introduces a true integrated skeletonized movement, drastically reducing case thickness and improving visual depth. For collectors scrutinizing structural integrity, this model establishes a new baseline for the manual-wind RM series.
Powered by the custom clone RMUL2 manual-winding caliber, this movement features a genuine skeletonized architecture without the restrictive decorative plates found in earlier KV Factory versions. Because it is a dedicated manual movement without an automatic rotor to obstruct the view, the mechanism allows for unobstructed front-to-back transparency. Functional gear train linkage is visible at the 12 o’clock position during manual winding, offering a mechanical engagement that mirrors the genuine caliber. Power reserve is approximately 36 hours.
The highly distinct asymmetrical 50.23mm x 42.70mm case—designed with a “left narrow, right wide” aerodynamic profile—utilizes a sophisticated multi-material construction. The bezel and caseback are machined from matte black TZP oxidized ceramic, known for its extreme scratch resistance, and finished with fine sandblasting and rounded chamfers on the star screws. The mid-case is crafted from genuine Carbon TPT, displaying the correct Damascus-style layered texture that is physically machined rather than printed. On the dial, highly precise micro-sprayed green and yellow bridges pay homage to the Jamaican flag, executed with sharp borders that avoid the color bleeding common in lower-tier batches.
