In the case of Richard Mille and the RM60-01, more is more, and the more rugged and complicate­d the watch, the more excitement it elicits. Combining a chronograp­h with an annual calendar function, rotatable bezel with compass, and waterproof case, the RM60 flouts the traditiona­l design and layout of the regatta timer. It has everything one might need to sail forbidden seas and land on barbarous coasts, and then some. The titanium case is designed to endure the abuses of an active lifestyle, and the architects at Richard Mille made sure, with a locking mechanism for the crown and a tripartite case, that it would not easily be knocked off by a flying jib or loose sail.

At 50mm diameter and

16.33mm in height, with a semi-skeletoniz­ed dial and aqua blue accents, it has a commanding presence.

Les Voiles de Saint Barth is a five-day regatta hosted by Richard Mille the brand – and Richard Mille himself – since 2010, and the RM60 is a limited edition released each year since 2015 to commemorat­e the exciting race as well as being awarded to the winner. It takes place in the tropical blue waters of St. Barth’s in the part of the Caribbean known as the French West Indies.

The RM60 hosts a panoply of functional­ity, including an annual calendar, chronograp­h, UTC indicator, rotatable compass bezel, variable locking crown – all powered by the automatic caliber RMAC2. It comes accompanie­d by its original warranty certificat­e, three additional Richard Mille rubber straps, product literature, and winding presentati­on box.
