Richard Mille RM 61-01 Yohan Blake: Built for Speed

The Spirit of Competition

The Richard Mille RM 61-01 Yohan Blake is inspired by one of the world's fastest athletes. Designed in collaboration with Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, the watch captures the essence of motion, energy, and competitive drive. Every detail reflects speed, from the aerodynamic case design to the lightweight materials used in its construction.

Collectors visiting First Class Timepieces in NYC often describe the RM 61-01 as a perfect embodiment of dynamic elegance. It celebrates movement not just through its engineering but through its design language, which feels alive even when at rest.

Technical Brilliance and Innovation

At the heart of the RM 61-01 is the manual-winding Caliber RMUL2, the same movement used in the RM 055 but tuned for enhanced resilience and lightness. The case is crafted from TZP ceramic and carbon TPT, materials chosen for their durability and minimal weight. The skeletonized structure reveals the intricate bridges and gears, offering a visual spectacle of motion and balance.

The RM 61-01 can resist shocks of up to 5000 Gs, making it one of the most durable mechanical watches ever produced. Despite its strength, it wears comfortably, designed for athletes and collectors who value performance without compromise.

Why Collectors Chase the RM 61-01

This model is admired not only for its technical specifications but also for its bold design. The black case accented with green and yellow details pays homage to Blake’s Jamaican heritage and adds a unique vibrancy that makes it instantly recognizable. Its asymmetrical case ensures wrist comfort during intense activity while maintaining striking visual balance.

Collectors see the RM 61-01 as a symbol of modern achievement, representing innovation through experimentation. It is not a watch for tradition; it is a watch for those who lead.
