The watch features a “skeletonized, automatic winding movement with a variable-geometry rotor,” according to the company’s website.

“Under the bonnet of the RM 11-03 beats a flyback chronograph ready to literally race on the track,” it says.

Among the array of features is a central flange in grade 5 titanium, 18 karat white gold wings, ceramic ball bearings and a tripartite case sealed by two Nitrile O-rings making it water resistant to 160 feet.

Leon Adams, president of Cellini Jewelers in Manhattan, identified customers for the watches as “predominantly collectors familiar with the brand and some nouveau collectors who want something very different.”

Other notables who wear the brand include hip-hop artists Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, comedians Kevin Hart and Terry Crews, and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s official spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, who sparked accusations of corruption when he was spotted wearing a $500,000 model, The Jewelry Editor reported.
