Replica RM 72-02 Flyback Chronograph Watches

Our replica RM 72-02 collection covers Richard Mille’s lifestyle flyback chronograph — the RM 72 line, the brand’s first in-house automatic chronograph. Where most Richard Mille sport pieces simply tell time, the RM 72-02 super clone adds a true flyback chronograph with openworked oblique counters, driven by a clone of the in-house CRMC1 calibre.

Movement & Build

Every replica Richard Mille RM 72-02 runs a clone Cal. CRMC1, an automatic flyback chronograph laid out like the genuine in-house movement, beating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz). The chronograph uses a column-wheel command with an oscillating-pinion coupling, so starting, stopping and the instant flyback reset do not rob the going train — the time and the 48-hour clone power reserve hold steady with the chronograph running (genuine CRMC1: ~50 hours). The oblique sub-counters are openworked into the skeleton dial. The tonneau case measures roughly 38.4 x 47.3 mm in titanium, Carbon TPT, Quartz TPT or ceramic depending on the reference, with sapphire crystal front and back and 30 m water resistance.

What Makes the RM 72-02 Different

The RM 72-02 is the complication piece of the sport Richard Mille range. A flyback chronograph lets you reset and restart the timer in a single press without stopping first — built for timing laps and intervals back to back. The oblique counter layout keeps the skeletonised movement readable instead of crowding the dial, and the automatic winding means no manual top-up between uses. This is the Richard Mille to choose when a two-hand watch is not enough.

How to Choose Your RM 72-02

Pick first by case material: titanium is the lightest classic option, Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT bring colour and an even lower weight, and ceramic gives the hardest scratch-resistant surface. Then choose by dial and strap colourway. Every reference shares the same clone Cal. CRMC1 flyback chronograph, so the choice is about look and material rather than function.

RM 72-02 Replica: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flyback chronograph?

A flyback chronograph resets and restarts the timer with one push while it is still running, instead of the usual stop-reset-start sequence. The RM 72-02 super clone reproduces this flyback action through its clone Cal. CRMC1.

Does the chronograph affect timekeeping or power reserve?

No — the oscillating-pinion coupling means the going train keeps its torque with the chronograph engaged, so the time stays accurate and the 48-hour clone power reserve is unaffected.

How can you tell a real RM 72-02 from a super clone?

The honest tells are the movement finishing and the stated 48-hour clone power reserve versus the genuine ~50 hours. The flyback action, oblique counters, case material and skeleton dial are reproduced to match the reference.
