Lewis Hamilton officially began the new era in Ferrari red and made his first appearance at Maranello. On his wrist, also on the track, the Richard Mille RM67-02.
Al development in the Scuderia Ferrari, seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton made his entrance into the Maranello headquarters. Very elegant, with a grey melange wool and cashmere double-breasted suit from the Ferrari FW24 collection, Ferragamo coat and Louboutin boots, sported a watch on his wrist Richard Mille RM67-02, partner of the Scuderia Ferrari.
A watch that Hamilton also wore for his first track session at Fiorano. The association with Mercedes therefore ended, and consequently so did Hamilton's association with IWC, a brand linked to the team since 2004.
RM67-02: light and strong, perfect on the track
Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT: the new frontiers in materials from Richard Mille.
The RM67-02 is Richard Mille's lightest automatic watch: just 32 grams. This is thanks to a combination of TPT composite materials, grade 5 titanium and an elastic strap. Completely seamless and non-slip, the strap fits perfectly on every wrist.
In the version worn by Hamilton it is red, like the Ferrari of course. The case is made of Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT: damask-looking materials, based on layers of parallel carbon and silicon filaments impregnated with a specific resin, which have enabled the company to achieve significant progress in terms of inalterability, lightness and strength.
A skeletonised automatic movement with hours and minutes
The new partnership between Lewis Hamilton and Ricbard Mille.
The movement of the RM67-02 is an ultra-thin (3.4 mm thick), shock-resistant skeleton self-winding calibre (CRMA7). Grade 5 titanium with black DLC treatment gives great rigidity to the base plate. Perfect, therefore, for Formula 1 tracks.
The power reserve is 50 hours. During his debut season with Ferrari this year, Lewis Hamilton will also wear other Richard Mille watches.
