Introduced in 2010, the RM 022 showcases the influence of space and supersonic speed that have inspired the brand since 2001. The RM 022 is also the first watch to combine a dual time zone complication with an external structure in titanium as well as orthorhombic titanium alumide and carbon nanofibre composite, with orthorhombic titanium alumide being utilised by NASA in the manufacture of supersonic airplane wings.

The RM 022 also features a torque indicator, which provides a visual display of the mainspring’s internal tension allowing for the timing of the movement to be optimised, as well as a power-reserve indicator set for 70 hours when fully wound and a function selector in the form of a pusher located in the centre of the crown, allowing the wearer to switch between W (Winding), N (Neutral) and H (Hand-setting) positions.

At the centre of the dial, a transparent sapphire crystal disc inscribed with hours permanently rotates through the movement. The digits on the disc are apparent only when positioned over the white field situated at 3 o’clock which is easily adjusted using the finely finished pusher at 9 o’clock. Each time it is pressed, it adds an extra hour to the time zone.
