The Richard Mille 'Wayde van Niekerk' is a bold, ultra-lightweight timepiece designed in collaboration with the South African Olympic gold medalist and 400m world record holder. This model is part of Richard Mille's commitment to crafting high-performance watches for elite athletes, combining extreme engineering with national color symbolism.
The case measures 47.52 x 38.70 x 7.80mm and is crafted from vibrant Quartz TPT, layered in striking green and yellow tones representing the flag of South Africa. The case material is renowned for its exceptional lightness, shock resistance, and unique visual texture, making each watch subtly one of a kind.
Inside, the RM 67-02 is powered by the skeletonized automatic Caliber CRMA7, constructed from grade 5 titanium with a variable-geometry rotor for optimized winding efficiency. The movement is finished with a black DLC coating and is visible through the front and back sapphire crystals, showcasing its technical beauty and minimal weight. The total weight of the watch, including its elastic comfort strap, is just 32 grams—making it one of the lightest automatic watches ever created.
