A wrist computer for the very confident
By Priya Nair, Singapore ยท
Fifty millimetres. I'd stop there, but I have to talk about the rest.
The RM 11-03 is a titanium tonneau, 16.15 mm thick, skeleton dial, flyback chronograph, date and a countdown timer, on a rubber strap, 50 m. The RMAC3 automatic gives 55 hours. Through the open caseback and the skeleton front you can see just how much mechanism is stacked in there, and I'll admit it's impressive in the way a Formula One gearbox is impressive.
But on most wrists, this watch is far too big. On mine, it would cover the whole top of my forearm and some of my sleeve. It doesn't go with a suit, a blouse or anything else except possibly a Ferrari. The skeleton dial is also hard to read, which feels like a design choice rather than an accident.
List is 180,000 to 260,000 dollars depending on the version. RM's sought-after models have historically held their value well, but buying at that level is a bet on the brand staying fashionable, not a judgement on the watch. I'd let someone else make that bet, and borrow theirs for a photo.
