About RM 65-01

The RM 65-01 Automatic Split-seconds Chronograph is barely what you would describe as an embodiment of precision engineering. It is considered by many to be a Formula 1 car on your wrist —a masterwork of materials, mechanics, and contemporary luxury. The RM 65-01, since its inception, has been a spirit of innovation, which permeates Richard Mille - blending motorsport with haute horlogerie.

2) Heritage and Development of the RM 65-01

The Evolution of Richard Mille Chronographs


The RM 65-01 was introduced in 2020 and has five years of research and prototype development. It is the first high-frequency automatic split-seconds chronograph of the brand - a high-endurance machine with high precision under pressure.


Partnership and Technical Expertise


The RM 65-01 is the collaboration of Audemars Piguet Renaud & Papi (APR&P) with which they have incorporated advanced technology in its mechanics and in its ability to fit the wearer. All of the elements were energy efficient, durable, and fast - reminiscent of Formula 1 DNA.

3) Design and Materials

Bold Yet Functional Aesthetics


The RM 65-01 is characterized by a tonneau-shaped case of 44-50 mm and a skeletonized dial revealing the technical heart of its movement. The pushers are color-coded: red for chronograph start/stop, green for reset, and yellow for rapid-winding.


Advanced Materials: Carbon TPT(r), Titanium, and Gold


Each variant uses Carbon TPT(r), Titanium, or Red/Rose Gold, ensuring both lightness and strength. Carbon TPT(r) is marbled, which benefits not only in the sense of durability but also provides each piece with its own aesthetic mark.


Wearability and Comfort Control


This watch category is slightly complicated; however, the curved case and lightweight construction make it comfortable—the philosophy of Richard Mille is to focus on watch ergonomics.

4) Movement and Technical Innovation

Caliber RMAC4 - Performance Engine


Within it is the RMAC4 caliber, an automatic split-second chronograph that runs at 36,000 vph - the fastest speed ever in a Richard Mille chronograph RM65-01. It provides unmatched accuracy in simultaneous timing of various events.


Split-Seconds and Flyback Function


The dual chronograph system gives an option of two simultaneous timings and smooth reset. The flyback mechanism means the chronograph is reactivated immediately without ceasing - perfect in motorsport timing.


Rapid-Winding System


A special pusher permits quick hand-winding, to maximum power reserve in less than 125 presses. It ensures reliability under any circumstances, combined with a 60-hour reserve and variable-geometry rotor.
