Richard Mille Diver Watch RM 028
Richard Mille seems to pay more attention to develop its diving watch line this year. After the debut of its first diving watch RM 025 at the beginning of this year, Richard Mille recently add a new member, RM 028, to its diving watch array.
RM 028 is largely engineered based on its predecessor but looks more mature. Both watches are water proof to 300 meters and covered with a 3-layer unidirection bezel with an innovative screw system. The screw system is designed to fasten and adjust the bezel. While RM 025 has 24 screws in the bezel, RM 028 has only 22. Actually I found those torque srews look like bullet holes, so the less the better.

Featuring complicated watch face and huge sizes, both of these diver watches look like some kind of heavy-duty gear. I guess men like this kind of design. While the RM 025 is unreasonably large (50.70 mm x 19.20 mm ), the RM 028 is more modest, its diameter 47.00 mm and thickest point 14.60 mm.
The case of RM 028 has a little improvement in appearance and look more stylish. Its titanium tripartite case design with a screwed crown construction ensures a long term waterproof closure.
Another major difference between RM 025 and RM 028 is that RM 025 is a Tourbillon chronograph while RM 028 is an automatic watch, and it allows the level of automatic winding to be adjusted to the user’s lifestyle.
Overall, I prefer the Richard Mille RM 028 to RM 025.
