What to know

The RM UP-01 Ferrari pursues thinness by distributing components across a broad case instead of piling them vertically. Separate controls select winding or setting, while small sapphire windows protect the time indication and balance. The grade 5 titanium case is just 1.75mm thick.

The hand-wound RMUP-01 calibre remains a separate movement within the case, rather than using the back as its baseplate. It supplies approximately 45 hours of reserve. Introduced in July 2022 as a 150-piece edition, the watch held a thickness record at launch; this historical profile does not claim it retains that record today. The Ferrari emblem marks the collaboration.
