This alloy is composed of magnesium 90% and aluminium 8.9%. Magnesium density is of 1, 74 g\/cm3, which means it is one of the lightest metal used for construction. After a long and delicate machining phase, this alloy is given an electro-plasma oxidation treatment named Titalyt II\u00ae. The whitish color of the case is due to this treatment: it is a cristalline oxide ceramic with a high ratio of high resistant composites such as MgAl2O4 spinels.

RICHARD MILLE RM 038 TOURBILLON BUBBA WATSON
Tonneau case - Limited Edition - available in Magnesium-Aluminium alloy AZ91.
