Richard Mille RM36-01 Codename: Sebastien Loeb Fourth of Six of the 2014 Lineup From RM

By Meor Amri Meor Ayob Photos from the internet Friday, January 24, 2014 The Richard Mille RM36-01 incorporates a mechanical G-Sensor technology. Made to commemorate the rally driver Sebastien Loeb, this watch measures 48 mm across and 17.5 mm thick. The function selector that allows adjustments to be made is incorporated in a pusher set into the crown.

The watch uses a manual wind caliber that includes a tourbillion. Its call to fame is the G-Sensor that is located at 12 oclock. Able to measure up to 6 Gs, the mechanism has a very interesting resetting mechanism. Situated at the centre of the dial is a pusher that comes out of the dial through a hole in the crystal. Honestly, I not sure what the purpose of such a complication to have on a watch. There are many smart phone applications that can to the same, more accurately and with more detail. I do welcome the rounded case though. This is more preferable to me compared to the boxy shape Richard Mille is more associated with.

End.
