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.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained

Description
🔥A Grand New Year Offering🔥 RICHARD MILLE's new creation – the "RM21-01 Tourbillon Aerodyne" aerodynamic tourbillon watch – showcases inspiration from the aviation field. The new piece continues the brand's iconic tonneau shape (case diameter approximately 51x43x15mm). The rose gold case features a brushed finish on the front and a brushed polished finish on the sides, paired with a TPT carbon fiber bezel and eight carbon fiber pillars, creating a unique pattern and a pleasing contrast in texture. The RM21-01 movement's case back is undoubtedly the most eye-catching part of the watch – "HAYNES 214" is a nickel-chromium-aluminum-iron alloy, known for its high rigidity, strong oxidation resistance, and excellent performance. Most notably, the skeleton movement case back is crafted from this high-performance "HAYNES 214" material, its honeycomb-like hexagonal structure presenting a unique geometric aesthetic. Featuring a honeycomb orthorhombic crystal structure, the skeleton design embodies the concept of airflow, while a striking blue PVD treatment creates a bold color contrast. The movement is a manually wound tourbillon movement, meticulously handcrafted with finesse, including chamfering, polishing, grinding, and beveling. It also incorporates advanced technology and innovative materials, integrating a tourbillon mechanism to counteract the effects of gravity. This limited-edition RM21-01 Aerodynamic Tourbillon watch is poised to explore new frontiers.
