Inspired by the Spirit of McLaren Supercars

Richard Mille presents its fourth collaboration with British supercar manufacturer McLaren — the all-new RM 65-01 McLaren W1. Drawing inspiration from the latest McLaren W1 hypercar, this timepiece embodies high-speed aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering.

Key Highlights:

  • Dual-Material Bezel Construction
    For the first time, the RM 65-01 features a double-layer bezel made from Carbon TPT® and Grade 5 titanium. The top layer showcases unique carbon textures, while the bottom titanium layer—just 0.5mm at its thinnest—adds strength and sleekness.

  • Supercar-Inspired Color Accents
    Accented with McLaren’s signature orange, yellow, and blue tones, the design echoes the vibrant dashboard of a race car. Chronograph pushers are made of Carbon TPT®, and the titanium crown is wrapped in orange rubber for enhanced grip and feel.

  • Aerodynamic Case Design
    The tonneau-shaped case mirrors the flowing lines of the McLaren W1, with a “concave–convex” profile that adds depth and dynamism to the design.

  • Skeletonized Titanium Dial
    The openworked dial takes cues from the McLaren W1’s wheel design.

    • Yellow accents: hour, minute, and small seconds (6 o’clock)

    • Orange accents: 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters

    • Blue: tachymeter ring
      A vertical date window sits discreetly at 11 o’clock.

  • High-Precision Movement
    Powered by the RMAC4 automatic movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. The baseplate and bridges are crafted from Grade 5 titanium for lightweight strength and enhanced performance, with timing accuracy up to 1/10th of a second.

  • Strap Options
    Comes with two aerodynamic rubber strap options — black or orange — inspired by the McLaren W1's hood air vents.

A perfect fusion of motorsport engineering and haute horlogerie, the RM 65-01 McLaren W1 is more than a watch — it’s a statement of speed, power, and innovation.
