Description

The Richard Mille RM67-02 High Jump Mutaz Essa Barshim Edition is a limited edition watch created in honor of the Qatari high jump Olympic champion, Mutaz Essa Barshim. Part of Richard Mille’s celebrated sports collection, this model emphasizes the brand’s commitment to fusing cutting-edge technology with stunning craftsmanship, tailored specifically for high-performance athletes.

The case of the RM67-02 measures 38.7mm x 47.52mm and boasts a thickness of just 7.8mm, maintaining the ultra-thin profile typical of this collection. Constructed from Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT, it ensures both strength and a feather-light weight of only 32 grams, making it one of the lightest automatic watches ever produced. These materials not only provide durability and shock resistance but also make the watch incredibly comfortable to wear during intense physical activities.

At its core, the RM67-02 is powered by the Caliber CRMA7 automatic movement, a technical marvel offering a 50-hour power reserve. Its Grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges, paired with a Carbon TPT rotor, ensure minimal weight without sacrificing mechanical precision. The meticulous finishing of the movement, including beveled edges and hand-polished components, upholds Richard Mille’s high standards of horological artistry.

Designed to withstand the demands of elite athletes like Barshim, the RM67-02 also incorporates an elastic wristband for a secure, snug fit, eliminating the need for a clasp. The vibrant color scheme of red, white, and maroon reflects Barshim’s national pride, symbolizing Qatar’s flag.
