Along with the lighting of the Olympic torch in BC Place Stadium, the new RM 011 “Americas Four” will make its debut. There will only be 30 pieces available at retailers in North and South America.

Akin to its original shape of Felipe Massa Special Edition Watch, the new model of RM 011 watch also features the brushed black DLC case in Richard Mille’s signature oversized tonneau shape – measuring 50 mm x 40 mm x 16.5 mm – and flyback chronograph complications that are essential to athletes and sports fans alike. This specil edition RM 011 exemplifies the historic synergy between timekeeping and sports in a precision performance.

Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, 12 - 28 February 2010

The new RM 011 DLC Titanium Americas WHITE limited edition makes connection to the Winter Olympics 2010 by the sprinkling of white details around the dial, crown, hands, and numerals; they epitomize the snow that blankets the slopes of Whistler, British Columbia, as the Olympic begin. Black titanium DLC coating on the center titanium case lends a ‘night’ effect to the watch – the same effect applied on F1 Night Race Watch.

With rubber strap and sapphire crystals on the both sides, this exclusive timepiece is worth US $90,000.
