An interesting new addition to the RM line-up! If you're a fan of busy dials, it's definitely for you, but it has a rather purposeful look to it ... Complications aplenty!

An interesting form of jewellery, but personally, for a watch, I like to be able to read the time.

No mention of price yet; It'll be more than a Cessna, but less than a 737 wink Ironically, I doubt most pilots could afford this piece!

RM make about the only skeletonised watches I like (not that I could afford one) but that's just too much.

Won't be as dear as the full sapphire crystal cased RM056 though

Beautiful, but absurd. A flight instrument should be all about clarity. Any tool watch, really.

It's lovely, but not fit for purpose.

+1. It's practically impossible to maintain focus on any one function.

Bit O/T I deal with a lot of pilots and always have a quick nosey what they're wearing. It's generally tat or a sad looking forgone conclusion Breitling.

Had a doubly whammy in a Qatar Airways cockpit the other day, an Emergency and the first Nautilus I've seen in the wild.

Agreed.
Personally, I think it's minging.

As has been said, it's not the easiest watch to read at a glance but, other than that, wow!

You could own it for a long, long time and still pick out individual details never noticed before, I'd imagine...

I hate to say it since I'm not keen on OTT watches, but that does look pretty cool. Perhaps I'll get one when I win the lottery....
