Featuring NTPT carbon fiber throughout, this replica rm-055 216 delivers one of the more textured case treatments in the RM-055 family. The layered carbon weave pattern on both the bezel and caseback creates a surface that shifts between matte grey and glossy black depending on the viewing angle. At 49.9 x 42.7mm the tonneau silhouette remains consistent with other RM-055 references, but the full NTPT finish gives it a visual density that brushed titanium or ceramic versions cannot match.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case dimensions: 49.9 x 42.7mm tonneau
• Case material: NTPT carbon fiber
• Dial: carbon fiber with skeletonized elements
• Crystal: sapphire with anti-reflective coating
• Strap: black rubber with titanium buckle
• Movement: automatic
• Water resistance: 50m

NTPT carbon fiber is manufactured by layering thin sheets of carbon filament at alternating 45-degree angles, then fusing them under heat and pressure. The result is a material lighter than titanium yet stiffer than steel, with a wood-grain appearance that is unique to each individual case.

Caliber Breakdown

The automatic movement inside keeps things practical for daily wear. You get a center-mounted hour and minute display without a date complication, which is consistent with the Richard Mille RM-055 design philosophy of stripping away everything non-essential. The skeletonized baseplate lets you see the gear train and balance wheel through the sapphire caseback. For a closer look at how earlier versions handled this same layout, compare the V2 skeleton dial variant. Both sit within the broader RM-055 lineup, yet the carbon fiber case on this version fundamentally changes the weight distribution on the wrist.

How It Compares

Among RM-055 variants, the NTPT carbon fiber dial version sits at the intersection of material innovation and visual impact. Where ceramic versions offer a polished monochromatic look, the layered carbon weave introduces depth and texture that photographs differently every time. The 50m water resistance keeps it suitable for light exposure to water, and the rubber strap with titanium buckle maintains the lightweight character of the full package. This replica rm-055 216 offers the full NTPT carbon treatment for those who consider the material itself the main attraction.
