Richard Mille 2021 RM 72-01 Automatic Winding Lifestyle Flyback Chronograph Titanium

A flyback chronograph allows the user to reset and restart the stopwatch function with a single button press—without having to stop it first. The RM 72-01 uses Richard Mille’s patented system with double oscillating pinions, which isolates the chronograph from the timekeeping function, preserving accuracy during use.

The case is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, known for being ultra-lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic. This material ensures durability and comfort while maintaining Richard Mille’s signature high-tech, sporty aesthetic.

The watch measures 38.4 mm x 47.3 mm x 11.68 mm, offering a sleek profile that wears comfortably on most wrists. Despite its complex movement and functions, it's designed to be ergonomically balanced and lightweight.

While it’s a high-end luxury timepiece, the RM 72-01 is engineered for real-world wear. It’s shock-resistant and water-resistant to 30 meters, making it practical for daily use. That said, its value and exclusivity often lead collectors to treat it with extra care.

The 2023 titanium version is priced around $265,000, depending on condition and dealer. While not officially labeled as a limited edition, Richard Mille produces these in relatively small quantities, making availability limited and resale demand high.
