Description
NEWF Richard Mille RM 055 Transparent Ceramic
A technically rigorous execution of the skeletonized transparent case architecture, prioritized for structural stability.
Powered by RMUL2 Manual Clone
The driving force behind this reference is a dedicated manual-winding RMUL2 clone. By omitting the automatic winding module, NEWF achieves the necessary transparency required for the RM055 dial layout. The skeletonized baseplate and bridges are PVD treated to mimic the grade 5 titanium of the genuine caliber, offering a high-contrast backdrop against the white ceramic housing. While the escapement is highly visible, it utilizes a standard balance wheel configuration.
Rated at ±10–15 seconds per day. The manual wind mechanism provides consistent torque delivery when wound daily, though amplitude drops noticeably in the final hours of the power reserve.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Hours, minutes, sweeping seconds, skeletonized display
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional manual wind
Technical Specifications
Features a verified 49.90 by 42.70mm footprint. The three-part tonneau case utilizes white ceramic for the upper and lower bezels, sandwiching a transparent sapphire mid-case secured by grade 5 titanium spline screws.
The dial is effectively a suspended inner flange. Printing is sharp, and the hands feature correct beveling with luminous material applied evenly. Text depth on the transparent layer matches current market standards.
The bezel insert material is highly scratch-resistant ceramic with a blasted matte finish. The curvature aligns precisely with the mid-case, leaving no noticeable gaps at the gasket line.
Equipped with a high-grade white rubber strap designed for maximum airflow. The spring-loaded deployant clasp operates smoothly, though the titanium coating on the clasp is slightly lighter than genuine.
Why NEWF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why not BBR or ZF?”
While BBR excels in functional tourbillon models, NEWF provides superior structural integrity for the RM055’s specific transparent mid-case design. By utilizing a manual RMUL2 clone without the added thickness of an automatic rotor or a fragile tourbillon cage, NEWF maintains the correct 49.90 x 42.70mm case dimensions while ensuring the transparent sections remain highly visible and free of mechanical clutter.
Full Disclosure: The manual winding mechanism exhibits a slightly gritty tactile feedback compared to the buttery smooth rotation found on the genuine RMUL2 caliber.

Collector Q&A
Q: Is the case fully sapphire or ceramic?
A: This NEWF edition utilizes a hybrid construction. It features white ceramic upper and lower bezels with a fully transparent sapphire mid-case, achieving the high-visibility aesthetic while maintaining structural integrity.
Q: Does the tourbillon actually function?
A: The movement is a skeletonized RMUL2 manual-wind clone; while the escapement is highly visible and actively oscillates, it operates as a standard balance wheel rather than a true multi-axis tourbillon mechanism.
Q: Are the dimensions true to the genuine RM 055?
A: Yes, NEWF has accurately replicated the 49.90 x 42.70mm dimensions, providing the correct wrist presence and lug-to-lug profile expected from the genuine RM055 case geometry.
Q: What is the main drawback of the NEWF RM055?
A: The primary limitation is the winding feel. The manual winding mechanism has higher resistance and exhibits a slightly grittier tactile feedback compared to the buttery smooth rotation found on the genuine titanium-bridged RMUL2 caliber.
