While this watch lacks the bold colouring of previous versions, it still has the specs to make it stand out. Weighing in at a mere 11.5 grams and resisting acceleration up to a superhuman 14,000G, this Carbon TPT B.4 tonneau manages to set twin records for both the lightest and the most shock-resistant manually winding tourbillon. Particularly observant readers might be wondering what Carbon TPT B.4 is and how it differs from other versions of the material. Well, according to Richard Mille, this variant is denser, making it stiffer and more resilient, allowing for finer parts machining without sacrificing structural integrity. Another noteworthy change on this particular case is the construction. Rather than the typical three-part build of bezel, middle and back, this case middle and back of this watch are milled from a single piece, and the movement is mounted inside without any screws, instead secured by fine machining tolerances and pressure from the dial flange and bezel.
