Richard Mille RM 61-01 Yohan Blake Ultimate Edition – A Sprinting Legend, Encased in Carbon

🔥 Integrated RMUL2 Movement | Ultra-Thin Case Design
Celebrating the pinnacle of athletic horology, this 2020 finale to the RM 61-01 series honors Jamaican sprint legend Yohan Blake (2012 Olympic silver medalist, 100m world champion). Born for the track, it’s the ultimate fusion of high-performance engineering and avant-garde design.

🏆 Asymmetric Case – Engineered for Speed

Ergonomic Asymmetry: The case extends from 2 to 5 o’clock, creating a “narrow-left, wide-right” profile to eliminate crown friction during explosive sprints.
Cutting-Edge Materials:
Quartz TPT® & Carbon TPT®: A proprietary composite forged through a meticulous process:
Silica Layers: Thin sheets of silica (for Quartz TPT®) are soaked in white resin.
Carbon Fiber Fusion: Carbon TPT® layers are interwoven via machine lamination.
High-Pressure Curing: Heated at 120°C under high pressure, then hand-finished to reveal randomized, one-of-a-kind patterns.
Assembly: Secured by Grade 5 titanium spline screws and stainless steel washers for 50-meter water resistance.
⚙️ Crown & Crystal

Carbon TPT® Crown: Equipped with an O-ring seal to prevent accidental adjustments during motion.
Anti-Reflective Sapphire Crystal: Ensures glare-free readability under any light.
🕰️ RMUL2 Skeleton Movement

Manual-Wind Precision: The integrated RMUL2 caliber boasts a 55-hour power reserve, with bridges and baseplate crafted from Grade 5 titanium for rigidity and lightness.
Technical Artistry: Fully skeletonized to showcase the interplay of gears, a tribute to mechanical transparency.
