The Richard Mille RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Ultimate Edition is a masterpiece in the world of high-end sports watches. Introduced in 2020, this watch serves as the final chapter in the extraordinary series dedicated to athletic excellence.
Inspired by Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, the RM 61-01 showcases a distinctive design tailored for sports. Its asymmetric case is thoughtfully extended on one side to prevent crown friction with the athlete’s wrist, ensuring comfort and performance.
The case features an innovative mix of Quartz TPT® and Carbon TPT® materials. This composite is crafted through a meticulous process involving the layering of silica and carbon fibers, resulting in a unique texture for each watch, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
Assembling the watch involves high-grade titanium spline screws and stainless steel washers, providing a water resistance of up to 50 meters. The crown is made of Carbon TPT® with an O-ring seal for added protection, preventing accidental adjustments during vigorous activity.
The sapphire crystal has been treated with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal visibility. Inside, the RMUL2 skeletonized manual winding movement offers approximately 55 hours of power reserve, making it both functional and sophisticated.
