RICHARD MILLE RM61-01 YOHAN BLAKE, A RARE ASYMMETRIC CASE MANUAL-WINDING WRISTWATCH

The RM 61-01 ‘Baby Blake’ was the second watch Richard Mille created in honour of Olympic athlete Yohan Blake. It was introduced in 2014 and dressed in the colour scheme of the Jamaican flag. The Jamaican athlete wears his watch on the right wrist, so the left side of this watch case is made lower and thinner to make it more aerodynamic while running.

The bezel and the caseback are made in TPZ black ceramic – chosen for its low density, its resistance and its low thermal conductivity coefficient – while the caseband is made from NPT carbon. The watch is powered by the same movement, Cal. RMUL2, that runs in the RM 055 Bubba Watson
