Designed as a regatta chronograph, this replica rm-59-01 track brings the 59-01 Yohan Blake “Ultimate Track” reference into the Richard Mille sport collection with a countdown-timer complication purpose-built for racing events. The tonneau case follows the brand’s signature architecture — oversized, skeletonized, and constructed from layered composite materials. At approximately 50mm across, it sits among the larger references in the catalog, reflecting the functional demands of a sport timing instrument rather than a dress watch.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case material: composite with carbon-textured finish
• Case dimensions: approximately 50.23 x 42.70mm

The countdown timer function sets this apart from standard chronographs. Where a conventional stopwatch counts up from zero, the 59-01 allows a preset countdown — critical for regatta starts and sprint events where timing to a fixed mark matters.

Caliber Breakdown

The chronograph mechanism operates through the pushers at two and four o’clock, with the countdown function accessed through the pusher at eight o’clock. The skeletonized dial layout positions the running seconds, chronograph minutes, and countdown indicator across separate registers. Yohan Blake, the Jamaican sprinter, lent his name to this reference because the track-timing function aligned with his professional needs. For an alternative strap configuration of this same reference, the green strap version offers a different color accent. Both live in the RM 59-01 collection as sprint-timing instruments.

How It Compares

Against standard three-register chronographs from other brands, the 59-01 adds the countdown complication as its defining feature. The larger case diameter accommodates the additional function without crowding the dial, and the tonneau shape distributes the visual mass along the wrist rather than stacking it vertically. On the wrist, the composite construction keeps weight manageable despite the oversized dimensions. This replica rm-59-01 track delivers regatta-grade timing architecture in a format built for athletes and motorsport enthusiasts.
