The collaboration between Richard Mille and Felipe Massa began as a friendly challenge between two friends. Felipe wanted a watch that could resist the high G Forces in Formula 1, while being easy to wear.
The RM005 Felipe Massa Limited Edition was developed to withstand the violent accelerations and vibrations of a F1 Grand Prix, while combining the exquisite and iconic characteristic of Richard Mille watches. The present features a skeletonized automatic winding movement and a date indicator. It is numbered 23/40.
