The quirky design, with the movement itself shaped like a skull, remains the same, powered by the shock-resistant manual-winding RM052 tourbillon caliber, just like its predecessor. The skull, now in a more impactful 18K red gold, is adorned with stones set in a design that clamps the upper and lower jaws, while the four bridges connecting the movement to the case evoke a pirate flag. The back of the skull can also be viewed through the case back, showcasing the Maison's playful spirit.


The bezel and case back utilize TZP ceramic (tetragonal zirconia polycrystal ceramic), which is highly resistant to scratches. In addition to nano-ceramic, the middle case is combined with durable carbon composite, also used in rockets and F1 cars.


This new model increases the limited production to 30 pieces worldwide, double that of the previous version. However, this model is also expected to sell out quickly. We recommend visiting the site as soon as possible. Immerse yourself once more in the unique world that only Richard Mille can create.
