Design and Build of the RM 032 Ultimate Edition

The RM 032 Ultimate Edition is huge, as it measures 50 millimeters in diameter and 17.80 millimeters in thickness. Its robust design features a case made of grade 5 titanium, combined with Carbon TPT inserts for enhanced strength and lightness. The bezel, crafted from DLC-coated grade 5 titanium and Carbon TPT, secures durability and resistance in extreme conditions. The oversized date display at 12 o’clock and the month indicator between 4 and 5 o’clock ensure clear readability.

This chronograph of this diver offers multiple functions, including a flyback mechanism. The chronograph can be reset without stopping, using the pusher between 4 and 5 o’clock. The running indicator at 3 o’clock allows users to verify the movement’s activity, even in low light, with its super-luminova enhanced sectors.

Movement: Caliber RMAC2

The RM 032 Ultimate Edition uses the Caliber RMAC2, an automatic winding movement. It provides a power reserve of approximately 50 hours (45 hours with the chronograph running). Its double-barrel system distributes torque evenly, reducing stress on key components and extending durability. The variable-geometry rotor adjusts to the wearer’s activity, ensuring optimal winding efficiency, and is executed in 18K white gold with 6 possible positions adjusted by screws in grade 5 titanium.

The movement is constructed with a grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges. The burnished pivots and diamond-polished sinks add precision to the design. With these enhancements, the RMAC2 achieves reliability and accuracy under pressure. Its components feature hand-finished details, including sapphire-blasted surfaces and polished screw slots. The wheels are sandblasted and rhodium-plated to maintain performance without unnecessary corrections.
