Richard Mille has introduced the RM 65-01 McLaren W1, a limited-edition timepiece designed to celebrate the debut of McLaren’s $2.1 million hypercar, the McLaren W1. This collaboration combines Richard Mille’s exceptional watchmaking expertise with McLaren’s high-performance engineering, creating a timepiece that mirrors the revolutionary nature of the McLaren W1 supercar.
Revolutionary Design and Materials
The RM 65-01 features a tonneau-shaped case crafted from Carbon TPT, a material exclusive to Richard Mille, consisting of multiple layers of carbon fibers. This advanced composite material provides remarkable strength while keeping the watch lightweight, making it the perfect complement to the McLaren W1’s engineering prowess. Additionally, the timepiece boasts the thinnest titanium bezel ever made by Richard Mille, measuring just 0.50mm at its thinnest point.
Precision and Performance
Powered by the Caliber RMAC4 automatic movement, the RM 65-01 showcases a skeletonized design with six-column wheels for enhanced synchronization and durability. With a 60-hour power reserve and a free-swinging balance for accuracy to 1/10th of a second, this watch combines cutting-edge technology with precise timekeeping. The Quartz TPT button also allows for rapid winding, with the signature McLaren orange aesthetic.
Aesthetic Customization
The RM 65-01 McLaren W1 offers a striking dial that reflects McLaren’s signature colors. It comes with two strap options — orange and black rubber — allowing collectors to customize the watch to their personal style.
Exclusivity and Price
Limited to just 500 pieces, the RM 65-01 McLaren W1 is priced at 320,000 CHF (approximately 374,000 USD), making it an exclusive collector’s item. This timepiece represents the intersection of luxury watchmaking and automotive innovation, offering an unforgettable fusion of precision, performance, and design.
