Richard Mille Unveils Two Felipe Massa Limited Edition Timepieces

It may not be the first time the Swiss watchmaker has dedicated a limited edition timepiece model for the Brazilian Formula One driver, but that doesn’t mean they're not eye candy. Nice to look at and a pleasure to wear, the design embodies both premium design and racing inspiration. This collection, in particular, is here to celebrate the company’s ten-year collaboration with the professional driver.

Currently holding the 6th place in Formula One World Championship with 62 points, Massa clearly is a top line driver. And like any other of those F1 A-listers, the Brazilian ace also has famous people for friends. One of them is nobody else than Richard Mille. The luxury watchmaker has unveiled what we’d call a facelift of two of the models they have worked on in the past to celebrate their decade-long collaboration.

The RM 056 tourbillon is housed in a case produced from a single block of sapphire which requires no less than 1,000 hours to cut and polish. See through case unveils the watch’s mechanics including a split-seconds chronograph, a power reserve and a torque indicator, controlled by a function selector.

The other limited edition model is none other than the renown RM 011. The number 19, which also is Felipe’s race number, has been cleverly reworked to suggest a 12 on the sapphire dial. The caliber was entirely built in grade 5 titanium and hand finished and features an annual calendar, a 60-minute flyback chronograph, and a countdown function, assembled for this anniversary edition inside a carbon case.

The limited edition factor is described by the fact that only ten of the RM 056 will be manufactured while the RM 011 model will be produced in 100 pieces.
