replica Richard Mille RM 028

Some dive watches can withstand enormous depths, others have a luminous glow brighter than the sun, and some even incorporate a few other complications. Not so with Richard Mille's RM 028. It doesn't do these things. In fact, it's very simple. So why is it one of the craziest dive watches ever made?

Before we go any further into the ludicrous RM 028, we first need to clarify what a dive watch is. This might seem like a fairly simple answer - a watch to wear while diving - but it's much more than that. Unlike chronographs or pilot watches, which are categories that give broad and loose function designations, a proper dive watch actually has to meet a very strict set of criteria.

It does make sense. A chrono lap won't kill you, and neither will a pilot's watch. However, a dive watch; if something goes wrong, you could be sleeping with the fish, quite literally. The International Organization for Standardization, or ISO for short, has developed not one but two sets of guidelines to determine exactly what functions a watch must have in order to be classified as a diver's watch. Sidenote: If you're a photographer wondering if the ISO setting on your camera has anything to do with this Swiss rule-maker, you're right - they set the standard for digital sensors to match the sensitivity of film.fake bugatti watch

Anyway, back to the dive watch. Since the concept of diving is not that old in the horological world, becoming popular in the middle of the 20th century, the dive watch is still considered a fairly new concept. Chronographs, calendars, chimes - they've been around for centuries, and while the idea of waterproofing has been pursued throughout history, it's never been explored in a proper commercial way. After all, not many of us get wet while wearing a watch.

But affordable, convenient diving changes that. Self-contained scuba diving (scuba diving, of course) eliminates the bulky wetsuit, oxygen tubing to the surface, and the entire team required to perform the dive. People can go deeper and further, and they need a watch that fits them. There is money to be made at the bottom of the ocean, so they need to make it fast.
As a result, the evolution of dive watches happened at lightning speed – at least for watchmaking. Watches such as the Rolex Oyster from 1927 and the Omega Marine from 1932 have explored mild water resistance, but dive watches need to do more than that. First it needs to improve water resistance, but it also needs to be able to be used in dark, difficult underwater conditions. Watches such as the Panerai Radiomir from 1938 used luminous paint to allow the watch to be read underwater, while the dial and hands were also legible and had high contrast.

Then there is the time aspect. Of course, wholesale fashion watches already have a constant elapsed time display, but a diver's watch really needs something that can be read at a glance and cannot be mistaken. One of the first examples of a diver's watch bezel was the Rolex Zerographe in 1937, a flyback monopusher chronograph concept that was never put into mass production.

But the last iteration of the bezel appeared on the 1953 Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, considered the father of the modern dive watch. What makes this version so unique is a simple modification that means the bezel can only turn in one direction. This is very important as it means that the time can only be accidentally subtracted from the reading rather than added, never making divers think they have more time than they really do.

The combination of these factors led to the ISO 2281 standard for water-resistant watches (note, not water-resistant, a term that is disallowed as it indicates complete impermeability) and the ISO 6425 standard for diving watches. These regulations state that dive watches must be reliable underwater, have a time preselection device (such as a bezel), be legible underwater, have a running indicator (such as a second hand), be mildly anti-magnetic, shock-resistant and resistant to salt water sex. Only then can the watch be called a diver.

Does the RM 028 meet all of these criteria? For an eye-watering £88,000 MSRP, you bet it does. In order to wear the "300m" label on the dial, it must meet each of these requirements. But that's hardly news, is it? Dive replica watches for sale are a dime a dozen, and most certainly don't cost most of a house. In fact, most dive watches are the exact opposite of madness, for obvious reasons: they're sensible and steady.

Not RM028. It goes in the exact opposite direction. Everything is executed in a way that defies all logic, all reasoning. I once moved into a house that had a built in sideboard and I decided to remove it. The guy who built it overengineered it so that the pile of screws at the end was almost as big as the pile of wood. RM 028 is exactly the same.
I mean it literally. There are a lot of screws here, both externally and internally, but especially on the bezel. Most dive watches have push-fit inserts, but the RM 028 does not. Its bezel is held in place by at least 30 screws (I did count). thirty! Most watches simply don't have this feature, let alone a bezel. Each of these screws acts like a safety fitting used by automakers to deter would-be home mechanics from tampering with the engine, splined and drilled in a way no home garage socket can fit.
This Saturn V-class overengineering isn't just for looks. The bezels turn the way they should, but not the way you might expect. Most just spin freely, with a ratchet inside ensuring they only spin counterclockwise, but the RM 028 seems to have borrowed an airlock from the International Space Station. The bumps on the top and bottom are actually buttons, and both need to be pressed to adjust. It's hard to change when you want to, so you'll never accidentally change when you don't want to. Jacob and Co watches replica

Matching the bezel on steroids is an equally reinforced titanium case measuring 47mm in diameter and as thick as a bus. It looks more like a scale model of the submarine that will rediscover the lost city of Atlantis than a watch you wear on your wrist. Howard Hughes would be proud. The sculpted industrial surface of the three-part case gives the impression that it has been designed more for fluid dynamics than aesthetics, with the crown nestled snugly between the I-beam guards and requiring almost two people to complete .

No wonder Richard Mille has ventured into the world of dive watches, as it packs a punch when it comes to impact. Everything from the hands that double as an ironing board, to the RMAS7 skeletonized movement with its structurally sculpted endplates and variable inertia rotor weight, is tuned to 11 seconds. This is a display of pure madness, more dramatic than all other dive watches combined. This makes the Omega PloProf look like a Submariner.


Yeah, so no one's kidding, these things are actually all necessary. The RM 028 does not need 30 screws on the bezel and a case like a steampunk battleship. But that's not what this watch is about. As Richard Mille himself said, this is ancient technology built with modern technology, and has no ISO standard. The mechanical dive wholesale replica watches is outdated, a whimsy open to the most extreme interpretations. So while the RM 028 may be the craziest dive watch, it also makes sense in a way.
