Richard Mille RM 53-01 Super Clone: Tourbillon Yas Marina Circuit Edition

The timepiece

Designed in the details.

The Richard Mille RM 53-01 Yas Marina Circuit super clone carries the NTPT carbon tonneau case of the cable-suspended tourbillon polo watch, finished in the green and yellow racing colours of the Abu Dhabi Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit. The case measures 49.94mm by 42.70mm with six titanium spline screws, and a skeletonised dial shows the suspended tourbillon architecture in the same green and yellow palette as the circuit theme. The watch lists at $2,650 against a genuine market figure above $900,000. This Yas Marina Circuit edition reads the RM 53-01 from the wrist as a racing-themed iteration of the suspended-cable polo tourbillon, paired with a green and yellow rubber strap and a grade 5 titanium deployant buckle. The case stands 16.15mm tall and uses NTPT (North Thin Ply Technology) carbon for the upper and lower halves with a polycarbonate laminate front sapphire crystal, the shock-resistant material specification the genuine RM 53-01 uses to survive polo mallet strikes. A hand-wound skeleton mechanical movement at 21,600 vibrations per hour drives the central hours, minutes, and an exhibition tourbillon at 6 o’clock, with the visible cable-suspension architecture detailed across the bridges in the same Yas Marina palette. Power reserve runs approximately 70 hours, and water resistance holds to 50 meters. Richard Mille launched the RM 53-01 in 2018 as the second-generation polo reference, after the original RM 053 Pablo Mac Donough, and the suspended cable architecture remains one of the most engineered shock systems in modern watchmaking. The Yas Marina Circuit edition layers the Abu Dhabi F1 racing identity over that polo tourbillon platform, which pairs the two motorsport-and-polo brand pillars of Richard Mille into a single watch. This super clone ships from a top-tier specialist factory that produces the complete watch, with a full quality control pass, insured worldwide delivery, and a 1-year limited warranty.
