Richard Mille RM 61 01 Yohan Blake: Where Precision Meets Performance

The Richard Mille RM 61 01 Yohan Blake is a timepiece built for speed, designed with clarity, and crafted for those who understand that performance and precision are inseparable. Created as a tribute to Olympic sprinter Yohan Blake, this watch embodies athletic intensity with mechanical excellence. Openworked, aggressive, and incredibly light, it is a bold expression of what modern watchmaking can be.

Design Born From Motion

The case of the RM 61 01 stands out with its striking asymmetrical shape, inspired by aerodynamics and motion. Constructed from a combination of Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT, the case is not only lightweight and durable but carries a unique layered finish that gives each watch a one of a kind look.

The openworked dial is both technical and captivating. Every component is laid bare, inviting the wearer to explore the inner workings of the movement. The darkened architecture contrasts with luminous hands and markers, offering legibility while maintaining the RM signature style.

Manual Winding With Meaning

What sets the RM 61 01 apart is its manually wound movement. This is a deliberate choice that brings the wearer closer to the machine. With every turn of the crown, you engage directly with the caliber inside. Built for durability and high performance, the movement includes a 55-hour power reserve, small seconds, and a focus on shock resistance.

The finishing is just as impressive. Titanium bridges and a high tech baseplate ensure stability while giving the entire watch a clean, modern look from every angle.

The Heart of the Watch

The RM 61 01 is powered by a skeletonized manual winding movement that reflects Richard Mille’s engineering philosophy. Eliminate excess, elevate structure, and never compromise on function. Every surface is refined, every element is optimized, and the result is a mechanism that is as dependable as it is visually stunning.

The tourbillon is absent by design. This model is about speed, strength, and control. Its form follows function in the most elegant way possible.

Richard Mille’s Competitive Edge

Richard Mille watches are known for pushing limits. The RM 61 01 is no exception. Designed in collaboration with Yohan Blake, every detail speaks to motion and athleticism, from the jagged lines of the case to the breathable rubber strap.

But this is not a sports watch in the conventional sense. It is a luxury machine, built for those who appreciate horology as an art of performance. Lightweight, comfortable, and unmistakably bold, this watch belongs to a league of its own.

Why the RM 61 01 Yohan Blake Stands Out

This is not just a signature model. It is a statement of intent. The RM 61 01 Yohan Blake is for collectors who move differently. Its technical design and limited availability make it an essential addition for those who demand something rare, raw, and real.

At First Class Timepieces, we understand the value of exclusivity. Every Richard Mille we source is authenticated and hand selected for collectors who expect excellence from both their watches and their buying experience.
