RM 39: HIGHLY COMPLICATED
Made of some 1,000 parts, the RM 39 Aviation E6-B Flyback Chronograph remains Richard Mille’s most complex watch since it was launched in 2012. It’s complex enough to warrant six different pushers to work its aviation-centric functions. A key feature is the flyback chronograph that is protected from malfunctioning, even if the user accidentally depresses more than one pusher at once – an entirely forgivable mistake when you’re keeping a machine aloft tens of thousands of metres in the sky. Additionally, the watch features the E6-B slide rule, which is used in aviation and is here integrated with the watch’s bidirectional bezel, and can be used to calculate measurements such as fuel burn, flight times and density altitude.
