Combining a white ceramic case with a rubber strap, this replica rm-055 263 introduces the brightest case option available in the 055 family. White ceramic is visually striking because the entire tonneau shape becomes a light surface rather than the dark or neutral tones that define most RM 055 references. The case dimensions remain approximately 49.9 x 42.7mm, and the automatic skeleton movement is visible through the dial opening and transparent caseback, maintaining the open-architecture philosophy that runs through every 055 variant in production.

Key Specifications

• Case shape: tonneau (barrel)
• Approximate dimensions: 49.9 x 42.7mm
• Case material: white ceramic
• Crystal: sapphire
• Strap: rubber with deployant clasp
• Movement: automatic, skeletonized
• Water resistance: 50m

White ceramic achieves its color through the base zirconia material rather than surface coating, which means the tone goes all the way through the case walls. Scratches on white ceramic are less visible than on dark ceramic because the interior material matches the surface exactly.

Design & Finishing

White ceramic cases require the same high-temperature sintering process as dark ceramic but produce a fundamentally different visual result. The light case surface reverses the typical RM 055 contrast ratio: instead of a dark frame around a skeleton dial, you get a bright frame that pushes the movement details into sharper relief. Richard Mille uses white ceramic sparingly across its catalog, which positions this variant as one of the less common 055 configurations. The V2 skeleton dial version provides a useful dark-case counterpoint that illustrates how the same movement reads entirely differently when the surrounding material changes from dark to light. Within the RM 055 range, white ceramic occupies the most visually distinct territory.

On the Wrist

White ceramic on the wrist has the same thermal comfort as dark ceramic: it warms quickly and avoids the cold sensation of steel. The visual effect is different, though. A white tonneau case catches light from every angle and reflects it softly, giving the watch a luminous quality that dark materials absorb rather than project. This replica rm-055 263 delivers the ceramic scratch resistance and lightweight comfort in a color that transforms the tonneau skeleton from an industrial object into something closer to a sculptural statement on the wrist.
