The athletic Richard Mille
Richard Mille launched the RM 67-02 in 2017 as an ultra-thin automatic sport watch designed specifically for elite athletes who needed to wear a Richard Mille during high-impact competition. The brand had previously developed sport-specific references for Felipe Massa (RM 011 chronograph) and Rafael Nadal (RM 27 series tourbillon), but those references were either tourbillon-based (RM 27) or chronograph-based (RM 011) and represented six- or seven-figure pricing. The RM 67-02 took a different approach: an automatic 3-hand watch at the brand's most accessible price tier (relative to the rest of the catalogue), paired with the brand's extreme-sport composite case materials and the lightest possible total weight for active wear.
CRMA7: in-house ultra-thin automatic
The CRMA7 caliber inside the RM 67-02 is a Richard Mille in-house automatic with a platinum micro-rotor mounted on ball bearings. At 3.6 mm thick the movement is among the thinnest automatic movements in production - rivalling movements from the Patek 240 family and Piaget 430P family in dimensional terms. The micro-rotor allows the slim profile while maintaining automatic winding efficiency. Power reserve is approximately 50 hours and the movement delivers chronometer-grade timekeeping at the brand's standard regulation specifications.
TPT Quartz and NTPT Carbon cases
The RM 67-02 case construction uses Richard Mille's signature composite materials: TPT Quartz (silica fibres in resin) and NTPT Carbon (carbon fibres in resin), both autoclaved and CNC-machined into the tonneau case shape. Multiple colour variants were released over the production run reflecting specific athlete partnerships: RM 67-02 Wawrinka (white and red), RM 67-02 Pogba (yellow), RM 67-02 Yohan Blake (Jamaican green), RM 67-02 Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatari maroon), and the RM 67-02 Pinturault (French ski-racing themed). Each athlete variant typically references the athlete's national colours or specific personal symbolism.
32 grams of watch
The complete RM 67-02 weighs approximately 32 grams including strap - light enough that competitive athletes report effectively no wrist-presence interference during competition. The weight is achieved through the combination of TPT Quartz / NTPT Carbon case (substantially lighter than metal alternatives), the ultra-thin CRMA7 movement, and titanium / aluminium internal components. The strap is rubber composite. The result is one of the lightest mechanical sport watches in production, sitting alongside the Nadal RM 27 series at the apex of Richard Mille's lightweight engineering programme.
Production and value
The RM 67-02 has been produced across multiple athlete variants and colour editions from 2017 through current production. Each athlete variant typically released as a limited edition (50-100 pieces per athlete colour). Retail at launch was approximately USD 220,000-280,000 depending on case material and athlete edition. Secondary-market values range from USD 250,000-450,000+ with the most-sought athlete editions (particularly the Pogba and Wawrinka variants in unusual colour combinations) trading at significant premiums. The RM 67-02 represents Richard Mille's most accessible-tier ultra-thin sport automatic and remains a core production reference in the modern brand catalogue.
