Thanks for sharing Texex!
Let me add a little info about these 2 novelties:
The
RM 67-02 Sprint (for Wayde van Niekerk) and the
RM 67-02 High Jump (for Mutaz Essa Barshim) are based on the RM67-01 obviously (that I like very much), in a sportier version, with a RM27-01 touch (the grey and thin one with the same side decorations).
The case is crafted in Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT, composite materials exclusive to Richard Mille with exceptional shock resistance, making the whole watch remaining very slim as is the original model with 7.8 mm (bezel/caseband/caseback).
Furthermore, the RM 67-02, is equipped with their new comfort strap. It is defined by the brand as "Entirely seamless and non-slip" as being highly elastic, "allowing it to perfectly fit the contours of each wrist, adapting to individual morphology".
It is the lightest strap the brand seems to have ever created, and brings the weight to just 32 grams (the manual RM035 in Alumag was around 40 grams with the rubber strap and Titanium deployant buckle). This makes the RM 67-02 the lightest automatic watch of the Richard Mille collection.
Knowing how comfortbale RM watches are, I imagine this one should be great to wear.
I'm curious to see it in black NTPT.
Best, Mark
