Heritage Narrative
The Richard Mille RM65-01 represents one of the brand’s most technically ambitious chronographs, designed with a singular focus on extreme performance, shock resistance, and mechanical innovation. Unlike traditional haute horology chronographs built for elegance, the RM65-01 was engineered as a high-frequency, split-seconds chronograph capable of withstanding real-world forces well beyond conventional expectations.
This 2021 example features a complex case construction combining 18k rose gold with titanium, a signature Richard Mille approach that balances luxury with structural integrity and weight reduction. The tonneau-shaped 44 mm case houses a fully skeletonized dial, offering a direct view into the movement’s layered architecture, racing-inspired components, and unmistakable RM aesthetic.
At its core is the RMAC4 automatic split-seconds chronograph movement, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour and delivering a 60-hour power reserve. Designed from the ground up for durability, it incorporates a rapid winding system and a function selector inspired by automotive gearboxes. The RM65-01 is not a decorative complication; it is a technical instrument expressed through radical design.
