The Richard Mille RM 65‑01 “McLaren W1” takes driver-focused design from the track to the wrist. Inspired by McLaren’s hypercar W1, the dynamically sculpted Carbon TPT and grade 5 titanium case measures 43.84 × 49.94 × 16.19 mm, echoing the car’s sculpted profile. Its skeletonized dial features architecture inspired by the W1’s wheel rims, with vibrant papaya-orange pushers, blue highlights, and a branded “Speedmark” crown. The ultra-slim dual-layer titanium bezel—just 0.5 mm at its thinnest—underscores the technical sophistication behind the case design.

Inside, the RMAC4 automatic split‑seconds chronograph movement runs at an elevated 5 Hz (36,000 vph), with double column wheels for smooth activation and a one-tenth-second display. It features a rapid-winding “jump‑start” pusher that immediately recharges the mainspring—an ideal mechanical nod to pit‑stop precision—while delivering a robust 60‑hour power reserve. Limited to 500 pieces, this highly engineered chronograph is a collector’s favorite—a technical powerhouse wrapped in avant-garde automotive style.

*Limited Edition of 500 pieces.

The Richard Mille RM 65-01 "McLaren W1" is the brand’s most complex automatic chronograph to date, created in partnership with McLaren and limited to 500 pieces. Its 43.84 × 49.94 mm tonneau case is crafted from Carbon TPT® with a titanium mid-case, combining lightweight strength with visual depth. The papaya-orange accents and strap draw inspiration from McLaren’s motorsport heritage, while the layered bezel and sculpted pushers emphasize the watch’s racing DNA.

The skeletonized dial showcases the RMAC4 movement, operating at 36,000 vph and offering functions including a split-seconds chronograph, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, a large date, function selector crown, and a rapid-winding pusher that allows for quick power reserve replenishment. A variable-geometry rotor ensures optimal winding efficiency, adapting to the wearer’s level of activity.

Every detail, from the exhaust-inspired pushers to the wheel-rim dial motif, reflects McLaren’s performance ethos. Limited in production and uncompromising in design, the RM 65-01 W1 embodies the synergy between motorsport and haute horlogerie, delivering both engineering brilliance and collector exclusivity.
