Swiss-Grade Skeleton Automatic Clone Movement with Tourbillon Visual
The Richard Mille RM 68-01 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade skeleton automatic mechanical movement engineered to match the visual architecture of the genuine Richard Mille RM 68-01 caliber, with a tourbillon-style sub-dial layout at 6 o'clock. The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, winds by both the crown and the automatic rotor, and holds a power reserve of approximately 70 hours for nearly three days off the wrist. The caliber drives the central hours and minutes across a grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges, with the bridges hand-finished and colour-painted to follow the Kongo collaboration layout.
Tourbillon Appearance vs True Tourbillon Escapement
The sub-dial at 6 o'clock on this RM 68-01 super clone delivers the tourbillon visual of the genuine reference, with the rotating cage layout and the open bridge framing that the Richard Mille caliber is known for. The escapement underneath drives the time function from a standard balance assembly rather than a fully rotating tourbillon cage, which keeps the price at the $1,799 super clone tier rather than the five-figure tourbillon-clone bracket. Buyers gain the on-wrist Kongo collaboration look, the bridge colour palette, and the sub-dial framing of the RM 68-01 without the cost of a working tourbillon module.
Accuracy, Shock Resistance and Daily Performance
Daily deviation holds within -5 to +8 seconds per day after factory regulation, close to the chronometer band that buyers expect from a Swiss-grade automatic build. The grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges give the movement a strong, light core that handles shock during daily wear, which is the architectural reasoning behind the genuine RM 68-01 caliber. The 50-meter water resistance and the screw-down crown let the RM 68-01 super clone hold its seal through daily wear, hand washing, and light water contact, in line with the active-wear positioning of the Richard Mille sports range.
