Designed around the 27-02 reference, this replica RM-027 orange skeleton delivers one of the lightest tourbillon constructions in the current Richard Mille range. The skeletonized dial exposes the full tourbillon cage and barrel architecture, while the carbon fiber case keeps overall weight under 20 grams including the strap. Paired with a bright orange rubber strap, the 27-02 targets athletes and active wearers who need a tourbillon that can handle actual physical stress. The tonneau-shaped case measures roughly 47mm by 38mm, but because of the composite materials the watch disappears on the wrist rather than weighing it down.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case shape: tonneau (barrel)
• Case material: carbon fiber composite
• Dial: skeletonized with visible tourbillon
• Movement: manual-wind tourbillon
• Strap: orange rubber with titanium buckle
• Crystal: sapphire, front and back
• Water resistance: 50m

The carbon composite construction is significant because it allows the case to absorb shocks that would damage a traditional metal housing. Most tourbillon watches sit in dress watch territory, but this RM takes a different approach entirely.

Caliber Breakdown

The manual-wind tourbillon movement runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. You can see the entire escapement through the skeletonized dial, which means any finishing flaw becomes immediately obvious. The baseplate and bridges use a grade-5 titanium construction for weight reduction, and the tourbillon cage rotates at one revolution per minute. For a broader look at the collection, browse the RM-027 lineup, or compare directly against the fiber case tourbillon version for differences in case finishing.

How It Compares

Among Richard Mille tourbillon references, the 27-02 sits in the ultra-lightweight category alongside the RM 67-02. Where the 67-02 uses a simpler automatic caliber, the 27-02 commits fully to manual wind and skeletonization. The orange strap adds visibility during movement, making it a functional choice for sports use. This replica RM-027 orange skeleton puts the lightest tourbillon concept within reach for those who want extreme engineering on the wrist.
