The Richard Mille RM 17-02 Titanium Tourbillon
high quality cheap watches
is a lightweight yet powerful timepiece with striking colors.
Titanium creates a lightweight feel, but what truly captivates is its color.
To truly understand the Richard Mille RM 17-02 Titanium Tourbillon watch, you must handle it yourself. It's a timepiece whose charm truly needs to be seen, and especially handled, to appreciate its allure.
This watch features a lightweight titanium case and houses a titanium movement, its lightness being truly incredible. While not the lightest mechanical watch in the world, its size-to-weight ratio is exceptional. With a case width of 40.10 mm, a thickness of 13.0 mm, and a lug spacing of 48.15 mm, it might initially seem heavy on the wrist, but thanks to the curved case and integrated rubber strap, it feels almost weightless.
This is largely thanks to the fact that, aside from the iconic three-section tonneau-shaped case (around which most Richard Mille

are designed), it has relatively few components.
However, the most significant difference between this watch and similar products lies in its extensive use of PVD (Polyvinyl Chloride) to color the titanium bridges of the movement. The titanium used is described as "ribbed" titanium, possessing exceptional flatness and rigidity, making it ideal for manufacturing such thin movement plates, bridges, and balance wheels.
Maintaining structural robustness is crucial for a watch movement, especially at this scale, as even the slightest movement or deformation of the bridges, plates, or balance wheel can disrupt the necessary "axial clearance," causing the watch to stop completely.
Axial clearance refers to the vertical clearance between the gear pivot bearing shoulder and the jewel bearing face (or, as in many tractor-type movements like the ETA 2824, the mainspring barrel bridge; if the bearing is not set with jewels, it refers to the plate/bridge/balance wheel bridge). Axial clearance must be controlled within a suitable range. If the clearance is too small, the gears will not be able to rotate freely; if the clearance is too large, the gears may disengage from the rest of the gear train (which could have disastrous consequences for the movement).

Using extremely rigid titanium alloy is a wise choice. The only drawback is the high processing cost, as titanium alloy is prone to spontaneous combustion if the processing speed is too high or cooling is insufficient.
Undoubtedly, Richard Mille products are exceptional in their materials. Their designs are unique and renowned worldwide. In many cases, their technology and craftsmanship are industry-leading.
This satin-finished titanium case is understated and handsome, but far from the brand's wildest design to date. While a tourbillon would be a source of pride for many brands, Richard Mille has long mastered the manufacture of this theoretically gravity-compensating regulator.

The limiting device on the mainspring barrel prevents overwinding, a thoughtful design feature. The 70-hour power reserve and the rapidly rotating mainspring barrel (rotating once every 6 hours instead of 7.5 hours, which helps reduce periodic internal mainspring sticking and provides an excellent mainspring increment curve, achieving an ideal power reserve/performance and timekeeping accuracy ratio) are both highly practical, allowing even those more interested in technology to appreciate the watch's many intangible advantages.
Therefore, what truly stands out are the blue, black, and gold PVD-coated elements. When these are paired with the interspersed red jewels and the striking bright yellow Arabic numeral hour markers, the effect is stunning. Whether you like this effect essentially determines your impression of the watch.
