Richard Mille RM 65-01 Black McLaren Limited Edition

Richard Mille RM 65-01 McLaren W1

Automatic Winding Split-Seconds Chronograph

Reference: RM 65-01 (McLaren W1)

Limited Edition: 500 Pieces

The Richard Mille RM 65-01 McLaren W1 represents the pinnacle of modern motorsport watchmaking, blending Richard Mille’s most advanced automatic chronograph with McLaren’s iconic “papaya” design language. Crafted in Carbon TPT with high-performance titanium elements, this timepiece embodies speed, innovation, and cutting-edge engineering.

At its core lies the skeletonised RMAC4 calibre, a high-frequency 5 Hz (36,000 vph) movement capable of measuring time to 1/10th of a second. The watch features a sophisticated split-seconds chronograph, a function selector for intuitive operation, a rapid winding pusher, and a variable-geometry rotor designed to adapt winding efficiency to the wearer’s lifestyle.

Produced in a strictly limited run of only 500 pieces worldwide, the RM 65-01 McLaren W1 is a rare and highly coveted statement of technical mastery and contemporary luxury.

Why It Stands Out

The RM 65-01 McLaren W1 is more than a chronograph—it is a fusion of haute horology and Formula 1-inspired design. Combining extreme mechanical complexity with bold motorsport aesthetics, it appeals to collectors seeking rarity, innovation, and unmistakable presence on the wrist.
