The RM 011 cult line distinguished by its self-winding split-second chronograph welcomes a new interpretation with an even stronger technical design that enthusiasts of nighttime colors will appreciate more than ever. After the limited series of the RM 011 dedicated to Roberto Mancini, Felipe Massa or Team Lotus F1, here comes the RM 011 Yellow Flash in black TZP-N ceramic, available exclusively from the Richard Mille boutiques in Geneva, Abu Dhabi, Doha, London, Milan and Monaco. As is often the case with a Richard Mille timepiece, lightness and resistance are in pole position, sharing  the same cockpit as technology and performance. This type of low-density ceramic endows the case and bezel with extreme resistance to scratching and to thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, the case middle, crown and pushers are made of NTPT carbon in multiple 30-micron layers, a material usually confined to the world of aeronautics, F1 racing car chassis or high-tech competitive sailing boats. Who will be fast enough to snap up one of these 50 timepieces ?
