Richard Mille RM 65-01
Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph
The most complicated automatic movement
A highly complicated sports watch, a masterpiece of technical prowess, suitable for everyday use and for any occasion, this is the latest result of Richard Mille's relentless pursuit of innovation, the new RM 65-01.
2024 Richard Mille RM 65-01 Split-SecondsFive years in the making, this automatic split-seconds chronograph is the most complicated watch ever to come out of the Richard Mille workshops. It is the perfect embodiment of the brand's technical approach, thanks to a number of additional functions, a very special construction and an extremely high-end aesthetic design. All in all, it is a great challenge in mechanical watchmaking that requires patience, technical skills and a lot of perseverance.
Performance as heritage
The RM 65-01 is our interpretation of a highly complicated racing chronograph. It is the perfect embodiment of our technical approach, thanks to a number of additional functions, a very special construction and an aesthetic design of the highest order.
M 65-01 Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph
RMAC4 Caliber
Skeletonized automatic movement with hours, minutes, split-seconds chronograph at 6 o'clock, date, split-seconds chronograph (30-minute counter at 3 o'clock), 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock, function selector, rapid winding and variable-geometry rotor.

Approximately 60 hours (± 10%).
Actual power reserve results depend on the extent to which the chronograph functions are used.
Baseplate and bridges in grade 5 titanium
The baseplate and bridges are made of grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible, corrosion-resistant and very hard alloy that allows the gear train to operate effortlessly. The alloy consists of 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. This combination further improves the material's mechanical properties, which explains its frequent use in the aerospace and automotive industries. The baseplate of the RMAC4 movement has been optimized to provide an extremely low weight/resistance ratio.
The skeletonized baseplate and bridges have undergone intensive and complete validation tests to optimize their resistance capabilities.
Split-seconds chronograph
The modern architecture of this movement allows its components to be arranged consistently and rationally, avoiding unnecessary overlaps and enabling optimal use of functions through technical solutions.

This chronograph has also undergone a series of rigorous tests to prove its correct functioning in all conditions, from shock and drop simulations to a 10-year accelerated ageing phase for all functions, to water resistance tests and tests for resistance to magnetic fields.
Rapid-winding mechanism
In addition to the automatic and crown-winding functions, a rapid-winding mechanism has been developed. It allows for rapid rewinding when the watch is stopped. The barrel is fully reset by pressing the push-piece at 8 o'clock. This feature is ideal for quickly rewinding the watch if it has not been worn for a long time. Richard
Mille's engineers describe this highly practical feature as "very interesting", which was particularly difficult to develop due to its high level of torque transmission. During the ageing test, the function was activated thousands of times.

The RM 65-01 features a highly professional gearbox design for the winding, date and hand-setting functions. To switch between these different functions, use the pusher located in the center of the crown until the desired function is selected. The hand at 4 o'clock will indicate W, D or H accordingly.
High-frequency balance with variable inertia
The high-speed oscillating free-sprung balance oscillates at a frequency of 5Hz (36,000 vph), offering better reliability in the event of shocks, movement assembly and disassembly, and also guarantees better timing results over a longer period of time, thus keeping more accurate time. This new balance from Richard Mille is accurate to 1/10 of a second, making it ideal for use in a split-seconds chronograph under sporting conditions.

Variable Geometry Rotor
The RM 65-01 uses a newly designed variable geometry to optimize the winding movement of the rotor.
This exclusive Richard Mille design allows the mainspring winding to be effectively adjusted according to the user's activity level, whether in a sporting or non-sporting environment.
By adjusting the 3-position weight, the inertia of the rotor changes to speed up the winding process when the arm is in motion, or slow it down when exercising. This invention allows the movement's winding mechanism to be optimized and personalized according to the wearer's lifestyle.
