RM 65-01 Carbon Edition — Precision in Motion, Perfected by RM Factory
When you first hold the RM 65-01 Carbon Edition, the reaction is immediate — light, bold, and alive. This 1:1 super clone from China’s RM Factory captures the heartbeat of Richard Mille’s original split-seconds chronograph, blending motorsport-grade materials with micro-mechanical artistry.
Unlike typical replicas, this watch is the product of real engineering. Every screw, curve, and push-button replicates the geometry of the Swiss RM 65-01 Automatic Chronograph. The carbon-fiber case is CNC-milled layer by layer, then polished by hand to achieve the same undulating surface texture seen on the genuine TPT carbon case. The white FKM rubber strap and red–green accents add that unmistakable “race-ready” feel RM fans recognize instantly.

🧠 What Collectors Notice
When placed side by side, the RM Factory super clone surprises even those familiar with high-end originals.
-
The chronograph hand reset alignment is precise and snappy — a small detail most clones miss.
-
The weight balance between case and strap feels natural, not hollow or uneven.
-
Under light, the carbon weave texture reflects the same organic shimmer that defines TPT carbon.
The only visual difference noticeable to trained eyes is in the depth of the main gear bridges, which are slightly less recessed on the clone — yet invisible from arm’s-length viewing.
🔧 Real-World Wearing Experience
Collectors describe this version as “95 percent of the genuine feel, for less than 0.3 percent of the price.”
The winding torque, button feedback, and wrist comfort are nearly indistinguishable. Whether you wear it daily or as part of a rotation, it delivers the same adrenaline aesthetic and tactile precision that made the RM 65-01 a legend.
