Description

The Richard Mille RM 61-01 Yohan Blake, limited to only 150 pieces, is a striking tribute to the sprinter’s legendary speed and power. Designed as a more compact version of the RM 59-01 tourbillon worn by Blake, this model still encapsulates the spirit of extreme performance that defines Richard Mille’s partnership with the renowned Jamaican athlete.

Crafted from a combination of Carbon TPT® and Quartz TPT®, the RM 61-01 is as lightweight as it is robust, capable of withstanding the intense forces experienced during Blake’s high-speed sprints. The unique striped case design, inspired by Blake’s vibrant personality and competitive spirit, features colors reminiscent of his Jamaican roots. Its tonneau shape, combined with the lightweight material, offers ergonomic comfort for the wearer, even during vigorous activity.

Inside the watch beats the manual-winding Caliber RMUL2, a highly shock-resistant movement that has been developed specifically for high-performance wear. The skeletonized design adds an element of technical artistry, reflecting the precision and innovation synonymous with the Richard Mille brand.
