The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.

Description
YS factory presents an upgraded version of the Richard Mille RM001 genuine tourbillon, featuring the following upgrades: 1. Re-copying the original data, resulting in a deck structure closer to the original, with a similarity exceeding 95%; 2. Upgrading the dial face to a tempered glass double-layer dial face, with purer color and more refined details; 3. Upgrading to an imported high-grade rubber strap, with fewer burrs, better workmanship, a softer and more comfortable feel, and the ventilation holes have been changed from four horizontal lines to three horizontal lines, identical to the original. This is Richard Mille's first official watch and the first genuine RM tourbillon replica in the replica world. Available for just over 100,000 EUR, it is likely the most affordable genuine RM tourbillon. The JB factory developers created the dial face mold based on the original data, striving to replicate the original's character as closely as possible. After more than two years of improvements, the dual mainspring barrels function normally, and the 12 o'clock position features the same dual power reserve indicator as the original. A fully wound mainspring provides up to 3 days of power reserve. It is equipped with a manual genuine tourbillon movement with the same structure as the original, ensuring stable and accurate timekeeping. The dial face, like the original, features a double-layer high-through-lens design (metal glass + sapphire crystal glass). The case is machined using state-of-the-art five-axis CNC technology. It has a rubber strap with an original folding clasp, a power reserve indicator, and a tourbillon finish, exuding a high-end feel. This is the most timeless Richard Mille model, once serving as a benchmark for other RM Richard Mille men's watches—a classic among classics, never going out of style. Following the Roger Dubuis double tourbillon, this is another major release; the excitement continues, designed specifically for high-end tourbillon models.
