RICHARD MILLE San Barto Yacht Regatta self-winding flyback chronograph
At this difficult time, RICHARD MILLE is still determined to support this wonderful event, and released the new RM 60-01 Les Voiles de St Barth self-winding flyback chronograph, limited to 80 pieces worldwide. The San Barto Yacht Race has witnessed RICHARD MILLE’s long-term commitment to support sailing events, and symbolizes the brand’s willingness to work together with this world-leading event!
In April 2020, the sailing regatta returned briefly on San Barto Island, which once ignited hope for the smooth holding of the 2021 event. Unfortunately, the new isolation requirements for landing and outlying islands, coupled with other mandatory travel restrictions, forced this year’s event to not start normally. The winner of each previous San Barto Yacht Race can get a RICHARD MILLE fake watches. Although unable to compete this year, RICHARD MILLE decided to donate all the sales proceeds of one RM 60-01 to fund the local development of San Barto. At present, the brand is negotiating with the local government to jointly determine the beneficiary projects of the donation, hoping to use the money for local sanitation construction or environmental protection projects.
From calm to rough seas, the San Barto Yacht Race has been attracting attention as a platform for top sports competitions and breakthrough technologies. RICHARD MILLE has been involved in the event since its inception in 2010. In the first ten years, the Regatta has welcomed tens of thousands of sailors and nearly 500 sailing ships from all over the world. Each event has an average of 80 fleets participating in 7 levels of competition. This event quickly became one of the events of the Caribbean sailing season. All kinds of unpredictable extreme weather conditions are gathered here, giving the competition a unique charm.
With the success of the event, RICHARD MILLE decided to set a new course for him in 2019. The regatta was renamed as the RICHARD MILLE San Barth Regatta (LES VOILES DE ST BARTH RICHARD MILLE), the title sponsor of the brand promotion competition , Vowed to work together with this event. Tim Malachard, Marketing Director of RICHARD MILLE, said: “The brand has always supported the race since its inception. We are very excited and delighted to see that this international sailing regatta can win today’s prestige. Everyone Years, the quality of the sailing boat and the level of the fleet have repeatedly proved the position that the race has won in the Caribbean.”
In 2010, the RM 028 Les Voiles de St Barth edition watch was released, announcing the official start of the regatta that year. This timepiece, limited to 100 pieces, also became the first timepiece for the race. Subsequently, the batons of the 2015 and 2017 opening chronographs were handed over to the 50-piece limited edition RM 60-01 REGATTA Flyback Automatic Chronograph. It is hard to imagine any watch that can better meet the needs of sailors from all over the world than the RM 60-01. The RM 60-01 is driven by the RMAC2 self-winding movement and has a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. The flyback chronograph function, the large date window at 12 o’clock and the month display make this watch a perfect partner to ride the wind and waves. The 60-minute countdown timer at 9 o’clock and the 24-hour accumulator at 6 o’clock make the nautical characteristics more prominent.
The main feature of this watch: the southern and northern hemispheres can be positioned at the same time without any additional calculations. The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) hand always points to the position of the sun. At the same time, for the first time, the rotating bezel made of Carbon TPT® carbon fiber material is used. It only needs to be set on the appropriate scale to allow the universal time hand to indicate the local time on the bezel. The east-west north-south course on the compass will automatically adjust its pointing according to the actual course of the ship on the surface of the earth. Regardless of any position on the ocean, RM 60-01 can show perfect adaptability, which makes it stand out among the many “special sailing” replica watches.
To echo the flying theme of the regatta, the turquoise upper flange of the RM 60-01 Les Voiles de St Barth automatic winding flyback chronograph is beautiful and the sapphire crystal case back is also printed with RICHARD MILLE The sign of the regatta (LES VOILES DE ST BARTHRICHARD MILLE). This watch is truly “a watch that can travel across the seven oceans.” When we set sail, what can better mark, better symbolize, and better reflect the unwavering support of RICHARD MILLE? Let us with expectations, towards the new sailing regatta in 2022, full of brilliance, we hope to set sail again!
