Description

Felipe Massa has now achieved 40 podiums in his career by finishing third at the Austrian GP this weekend. "It’s an incredible moment for me, but the whole team is feeling this too. The team has a great history and we continue to build on that. It’s a special day" said Felipe Massa. After 8 Grand Prix this year, Felipe is now sixth in the World Driver’s Championship with a total of 62 points. Brazilian Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa is the first sporting figure to have joined the Richard Mille family. A long-time test driver for Richard Mille watches, it was he who enabled the brand to initiate and accomplish astonishing feats in watchmaking development. Such triumphs included the manufacture of a carbon nanofiber baseplate, first tested with the RM 006 FM then used in a number of other models, as well as the processing of new materials such the Alusic cases on the RM 009 FM. This collaboration, which became a deep friendship, is now approaching its 10th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Richard Mille has dedicated a special collection of RM 056 and RM 011 timepieces to Felipe Massa, appropriately named ‘10th Anniversary’. Renowned by experts for its uncompromising technicality, at the very core of the RM056 tourbillon caliber is a synthesis of the brand’s most exciting innovations. Comprised of more than 500 individual components, the grade 5 titanium RMCC1 caliber plays host to one of horology’s most exquisite complications: a split-seconds chronograph.

This tourbillon movement also boasts indicators for the power reserve and torque, and a function selector. As meticulous in their craft as Felipe Massa in his own sphere, the engineers at Richard Mille have optimized the movement, fine tuning its time-keeping precision and improving the operation of its split-seconds by reducing friction, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the caliber. These mechanics are presented to perfection by their case, produced using sapphire cut from a single block, in a process that required several years of research and testing in order to meet the highest standards of comfort and resistance. Often imitated, but never equaled, this tour de force of style and engineering represented a considerable challenge: machining sapphire is an exceedingly complex procedure, requiring no less than 1000 hours of work for each case, including 430 hours of filing and 350 hours of polishing for the bezel, case middle and case-back ensemble.

WARRANTY

THE VAULT Warranty

2-Year Limited Warranty

This warranty, provided by THE VAULT, covers the mechanical functions of your automatic watch, including (but not limited to) issues such as running fast/slow or inexplicably stopping functioning. You have a full two years from the date of purchase to send your watch back for servicing. This warranty is applicable exclusively to watches purchased from THE VAULT website. THE VAULT does not make representations on behalf of any watch manufacturer.

Our warranty is comparable to any manufacturer's warranty, with the distinction being that the service will be performed at THE VAULT's location. We employ expert watchmakers qualified to work on all major brands, utilizing factory-authorized replacement parts whenever applicable. Evidence of abuse beyond the factory-specified tolerances will void this warranty. All watches meet the manufacturer’s water resistance specifications, and maintaining the watch crown closed is crucial for preserving this water resistance and preventing damage to the movement.

Warranty Exclusions:

This warranty excludes any water damage due to a loose and/or open crown.
Damage to the crystal due to regular wear is not covered.
Replacement of quartz watch batteries is not offered under this warranty.

Authenticity: All watches sold on THE VAULT website are verified authentic and in working condition. We do not sell replica watches. "Unworn" watches include the original box, instruction booklet, and warranty paperwork/card (unless otherwise noted in the description). "Pre-owned" watches, also verified authentic with no aftermarket parts, are in good working condition but may not include the original box or warranty paperwork. Individual listings will specify what is included with the watch. In lieu of an original box, THE VAULT will provide a store watch box for listings without one.

THE VAULT is not an authorized dealer of the watch brands we sell. We obtain our watches from reputable sources dealing directly with authorized dealers and distributors. The watches may be in "unworn" or "unused" condition or "previously owned." In the absence of condition notes, the customer will assume the watch is "previously owned." THE VAULT makes no representations regarding the validity of any manufacturer’s warranties and does not act as a representative for customers to any watch manufacturers. Any warranties offered by THE VAULT are strictly through the website using our own authorized watchmakers.
