Richard Mille Watches: 16 Crowd-Favorites on Wristcheck

The RM 11-03 “Last Black” is peak RM 11: a flyback chronograph with annual calendar wrapped in the brand’s most recognizable case. The curved tonneau carries its size well—broad presence without slabby edges—and the layered carbon keeps it light and tough. On wrist, it telegraphs “driver’s chronograph” but reads less flashy than gold editions, which is exactly why collectors keep circling back to it. The variable-geometry rotor adds practical intrigue; you can feel the watch “wake up” with movement and settle when you do.

The RM 11-03 “Jean Todt” celebrates a lifetime of motorsport. The blue-and-white Quartz TPT case hits differently in person—matte, ridged, feather-light—while the RMAC3 keeps the familiar flyback/annual-calendar layout snappy and legible. Wearability is classic RM 11: big footprint, ergonomic curve, and a strap that cinches comfortably. As a limited boutique piece, it signals deep-cut fandom without sacrificing daily practicality.

When you want the RM 11 architecture in its most versatile guise, the RM 11-03 Titanium is the easy answer. Titanium trims the weight but keeps edge definition high; the result is a chronograph that vaults from weekend to work with zero friction. RM’s curved caseback and short “lugs” make the 50 × 44.5 mm footprint surprisingly friendly on medium wrists.

The RM 11-04 Roberto Mancini takes the RM 11 canvas and grafts on a match timer tuned for a football manager’s brain.

Split-seconds, but make it daily. The RM 65-01 Black Carbon TPT is a high-beat rattrapante with a complication-dense dial that somehow remains usable.

The RM 72-01 is RM’s first in-house chronograph movement, and you feel it. The CRMC1 uses a patent-worthy double-clutch system to decouple the chrono so running it doesn’t sap timekeeping. Case-wise, it’s the brand’s most wearable chrono—slimmer, shorter lug-to-lug, and flat under a cuff.

The RM 07-01 Pastel Blue proves a “ladies” watch can be a tech piece. The CRMA2 automatic sits under a playful ceramic case that’s feather-light and scratch-resistant.

Carbon TPT and diamonds shouldn’t work together. The RM 07-01 Carbon TPT Full Setting proves they do: the gem-setting follows the carbon’s layered grain, so sparkle feels integrated rather than stuck on. Size and ergonomics remain ideal for smaller wrists.

A stealth-lux mix: the RM 07-01 Carbon TPT Gold layers red gold accents into the carbon shell. The contrast reads modern, and the watch wears like a feather thanks to the small case and curved back. It’s an easy everyday Mille that still telegraphs “serious hardware.”

The RM 07-01 ATZ White Ceramic One Row Onyx threads a line of onyx across the dial, adding graphic punch without clutter. The ceramic case is cool to the touch, scratch-resistant, and pared back—ideal if you want a quieter 07-01 that still talks.

Motorsport DNA in a cleaner three-hand package. The RM 030 Le Mans Classic keeps the skeleton vibe but centers the story on RM’s declutchable rotor—automatic winding when you move, disengaged when fully wound to protect the barrel. With LM-green accents, it’s a caller for vintage racing fans.

The RM 35-03 “Rafael Nadal” takes the featherweight RM “Nadal” ethos and adds a user-adjustable butterfly rotor.

A bedrock of the brand’s rise. The RM 11 Carbon (RM 011 family) set the template for Mille’s modern chronographs—bold skeletonization, layered materials, and an annual calendar you actually use. On wrist, it’s substantial but never punishing; the tonneau curvature and rubber strap do the work.

If you collect for mechanics first, the RM 022 Black Carbon TPT is catnip. It’s a tourbillon with dual-time that wears flatter than you expect, and the carbon case dials down visual bulk. The cambered profile and rubber strap keep it planted for long days.
