The Richard Mille RM 07-01 Racing Red case measures 45.66 x 31.40 x 11.85 mm and consists of three sections held together by 12 titanium spline screws. The use of the Red Quartz TPT is excellent. This high-tech material consists of parallel filaments created by separating wires of silica. These are soaked in red synthetic resin and then woven together. In an autoclave (pressure oven), the material is heated to 120° at a pressure of 6 bar and can then be processed. Through this process, the Quartz TPT layers appear randomly, making each watch unique.

Quartz TPT for front and rear bezels. However, the middle part of the case is made of carbon TPT. On the back, in addition to the brand's typical name for the materials used, there is a window that allows a clear view of the mechanics inside. The RM 07-01 Racing Red also achieves a water resistance of 5 bar or 50 meters by using two nitrile O-rings.

The dial consists of a skeletonized titanium plate that reveals the mechanism below. The center of the dial presents red quartz TPT. The carbon fiber TPT frame in turn surrounds the red material, reflecting the structure of the case. The edge of the dial features a minute track and teardrop-shaped hour-markers that glow like two hands.

CRMA2 movement in RM 07-01 Racing Red
The CRMA2 movement inside the RM 07-01 sits on a skeletonized titanium baseplate. The bridges and plywood are finely sandblasted and plasma treated for stability and an absolutely flat surface. In addition, the watch factory is equipped with a fast-spinning barrel, which takes 5 hours per revolution instead of 7.5 hours. Together with the oscillating weight made of 5N red gold, the watch offers a power reserve of 50 hours. The oscillating weight also features Richard Milles' variable geometry, so the position of the oscillating weight can be varied. This allows the watchmaker to adjust the winding speed according to the activity level of the wearer.

The free-spring balance has four small weights for more precise adjustment. It also beats at 4 Hz and has Incabloc shocks. In addition, Richard Mille's design of the entire gear train allows the transmission of the wheels to maintain an optimum pressure angle of 20°. This makes it easier to compensate for distance deviations between bearings. Last but not least, the watchmakers have improved most of the components of the movement, achieving a smooth surface through polished angles.
