Embodying the brand’s relentless pursuit of technical excellence and avant-garde design, the Richard Mille RM 65-01 Split-Second Chronograph is crafted from NTPT (North Thin Ply Technology), an innovative ultra-light composite made of multiple layers of quartz fibers that offers exceptional strength and heat resistance, making it ideal for a timepiece built for both luxury and functionality.

A technical masterpiece itself, this open-worked dial design reveals the complex split-second chronograph mechanism under the hood. Powered by the automatic RMAC4 movement, the RM 65-01 features 600 components and is controlled by the winding crown and four pushers which includes a rapid-winding pusher at 8 o’clock that gradually winds the movement when pressed. Boasting a variable geometry winding rotor to change the speed the watch is wound during different activities, with the RM 65-01 Richard Mille has throughout of everything. Boasting a futuristic and sporty design alongside a technically astute web of mechanics, the RM 65-01 highlights Richard Mille’s vision of combining art with exceptional engineering precision.
