ZF Factory Richard Mille RM055 NTPT Carbon Fiber Tiffany Blue - Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Circuit Limited Edition Replica Watch

Richard Mille RM055 RM055 model is produced by ZF Factory with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

First, let's take a look at the design background of this watch, and then we will move on to reviewing the replica model.

The bezel is made of carbon (NTPT) material processed by fine sandblasting. Although the Vickers hardness of this material is moderate, it is considered one of Richard Mille's most classic special materials; Its most distinctive feature is that it is extremely light. The hardness of carbon is also such that it can withstand harsh conditions, providing exceptional durability. During the manufacturing process, the NTPT carbon case is processed in a low-pressure environment to achieve a smooth and balanced appearance; thus resulting in the "beautiful texture effect".

The Abu Dhabi Yas Marina circuit is located in the United Arab Emirates and has hosted the closing race of the F1 season since 2009, replacing the Brazilian race. It is considered the most perfect F1 circuit to date, with the assurance of abundant financial resources.

The circuit is located on Yas Marina island in Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates plans to turn this island into a motorsport park. The world's largest Ferrari theme park project is located on Yas Marina island, right next to the track; Therefore, this place is almost Ferrari's second home.

The Yas Marina circuit has been designed to be the Monte Carlo of Arabia. Built on an artificial island, this track has a total of 21 bends and passes between the Marina and Yas hotels. These two hotels were designed by New York-based firm Asymptote. The track combines tight corners with long straights. There are 4 stands in total (main tribune, west tribune, north tribune and south tribune); Part of the pit area will be located under the track. In addition, a part of the escape area will be located under the west tribune. There is a tunnel at the pit exit. Of course, part of the track passes through the track hotel.

The unique design of this track is not limited to the track and its surroundings; The scale of the facilities is also quite impressive. There are a total of 2200 beds in 7 luxury hotels and a harbor that can accommodate 150 small boats, including boats exceeding 60 meters. There are a total of 500 rooms in the Yas Marina hotel; The hotel passes over the track and it is possible to watch the entire panorama of the track from the rooms. In addition, the 60-meter-high solar energy tower offers a different visual experience to hotel guests. On the track, which is almost 5.6 kilometers long, spectators can watch the high-speed straights ending with narrow passing corners, as well as enjoy the roads with city and sea views that can rival the Monaco and Valencia street races; This provides a unique viewing experience. Yas Marina circuit also has its own racing academy aimed at training the United Arab Emirates' own F1 drivers.

This watch consists of three main parts: case back, middle body, bezel and all other parts (except the screws, of course) are made of NTPT material. This includes the chronograph pushers, the large rubber-framed crown, and even the thin bezel used for the pushers; all displaying the visible pattern of this layered carbon fiber. Everything is carefully crafted; Even edges and grooves can be cut precisely with the laser. Even under a magnifying glass or with a camera's macro lens, these pieces look beautiful. The most important thing here is strength and lightness; Fine detail workmanship remains in the background.

Richard Mille masters believe in the philosophy that "anything is possible". They use brand new mechanisms and conduct research on unique materials such as NTPT carbon and high-tech composites. This is the main reason that keeps the brand alive. In line with this, the features of Richard Mille watches are as follows: complex mechanical functions, superior wearing comfort and a limited production of 50 pieces.

The most remarkable part is NTPT carbon; because the Richard Mille RM055 Abu Dhabi track is made of this special NTPT material. This material was developed by NTPT company for the masts of racing sailboats. Therefore it is extremely rigid and at the same time very light. This is largely due to its layered structure: hundreds of layers of carbon fiber are combined into a single solid piece. This process requires processing epoxy resin and carbon fiber together at high temperatures and is technically quite difficult. So, would you use your Richard Mille to repair the mast on your sailboat? Probably not. So we will see what the real purpose of this material is: not to make a boat part, but for a very expensive watch. What is most striking is this extremely unusual surface. After the milling machine cuts hundreds of times, something fascinating emerges: unique patterns are created every hour, and these patterns remind one of the surface of wood. NTPT material feels warm when touched; When magnified at a high level, you can see its tiny carbon-based fibers, it is extremely smooth.
