Richard Mille South Africa RM 67-02 “Sprint” Wayde van Niekerk w/ Full Set, Extra Strap, Leather Tote Bag
Richard Mille is renowned as the ultra luxury sports watch manufacturer founded in 1999. The manufacturer is one of the most innovative manufacturers known for their use of lightweight and durable case materials most notably carbon TPT and titanium. Their distinct design language utilizes the tonneau case design with open work movements.
Wayde van Niekerk is considered one of the greatest track and field sprinters of all time. 2016 was a monumental and breakout year for van Niekerk. In the August 2016 Rio Olympic Games Wayde van Niekerk won the gold medal while wearing a Richard Mille earning a world record time of 43.03 seconds in the Mens’ 400 meter race. This world record run beat Michael Johnson’s 1999 world record of 43.18 seconds. He would become the first runner to run a sub-10 second 100m, sub-20 second 200m, and sub-44 seconds in the 400m. This was a feat that not even iconic runners such as Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis or Michael Johnson have were able to achieve in their careers. In May 2016 van Niekerk recorded the fourth fastest 400 meter at the World Championships in Beijing becoming the first non-American male to run a sub-43.5 seconds with a time of 43.48.
These iconic achievements would lead to the 2017 release of the The Richard Mille “Sprint” RM 67-02. The “Sprint” RM 67-02 is the highly prized model made in collaboration with current 400-metre South African Olympic champion and record holder. The RM 67-02 is one of the most iconic Richard Mille models with the vibrant South African themed case. The watch was released alongside the RM 67-02 High Jump. The watch weighs 32 grams.
