The Richard Mille RM 67-02 ‘Wayde van Niekerk’ is an ultra-lightweight, high-performance timepiece designed in collaboration with the South African Olympic gold medalist and 400m world record holder. Crafted from vibrant green and yellow Quartz TPT, the case measures just 47.52 x 38.70 x 7.80mm and weighs a mere 32 grams with the strap, making it the lightest automatic watch in the Richard Mille collection.
The signature tonneau-shaped case features a striking color scheme inspired by the South African flag, with the Quartz TPT layers creating a distinct wave-like texture unique to each piece. The skeletonized dial offers a full view of the in-house CRMA7 automatic movement, a marvel of engineering that blends technical mastery with bold design. The movement is crafted from grade 5 titanium with a variable-geometry rotor to optimize winding based on the wearer’s activity.
Designed for maximum comfort during athletic performance, the RM 67-02 is fitted with a seamless elastic strap that conforms to the wrist without the need for a clasp or buckle. With its extreme lightness, ergonomic form, and sporty identity, the RM 67-02 ‘Wayde van Niekerk’ is a testament to Richard Mille’s relentless pursuit of innovation and cutting-edge materials. This timepiece is a true collector’s piece, celebrating speed, strength, and precision in both sport and horology.
