Five years in the making, the Richard Mille RM 65-01 sports watch comprises more than 600 parts, including several new complications and an updated chronograph. Stopwatch calculations are correct to a decisive one-tenth of a second, while a split-second hand tracks average times, in a first for Richard Mille on an automatic movement.

Pops of colour bring a playfulness to a lightweight case crafted from tough Carbon TPT, in an elegant contrast with the microblasted, polished and satin-finished Grade 5 titanium crown and chronograph buttons. Time is interpreted in yellow, the date in green, and the shorter time displays in orange, while red is illustrative of the winding mechanism and blue the split-second hand.
