Richard Mille watches represent a fusion of motorsport engineering, advanced materials, and radical case architecture. Unlike traditional round watches, RM cases feature complex curves, layered construction, and exposed fasteners that define their unmistakable presence.
These materials—such as Carbon TPT, Quartz TPT, titanium, and ceramic—offer exceptional performance but can be difficult or costly to refinish if damaged. Protecting the exterior surfaces is therefore less about cosmetic preference and more about preserving engineering integrity.
The tonneau-shaped case extends beyond the wrist profile, increasing exposure to accidental impacts. While many RM materials are lightweight and strong, surface damage can still occur through repeated contact, especially on polished titanium or layered composite edges.
Because case refinishing often requires factory-level intervention, prevention is the most efficient and respectful approach to long-term care.
Case edges, bezel layers, screw recesses, and crown guards are the most exposed areas during wear. A Richard Mille watch protection film must be precisely contoured to match the case’s three-dimensional geometry.
When properly applied, the film becomes virtually invisible while acting as a sacrificial layer, helping preserve both the visual sharpness and resale integrity of high-value RM watches.
