Dedicated to Qatari high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim, this Richard Mille RM 67-02 super clone adapts the ultra-thin 67-02 platform for an athlete who competes in one of track and field’s most visually dramatic events. The RM 67-02 measures roughly 7.1 mm thick and uses a burgundy Quartz TPT tonneau case that weighs almost nothing on the wrist. Richard Mille designed this slim architecture specifically for athletes who need zero distraction during performance, and Barshim’s high-jump discipline demands exactly that kind of unobtrusive fit. The skeletonised dial reveals the ultra-thin automatic movement while maroon and white accents reference the athlete’s Qatari national identity. Collectors type the reference several ways — rm 67-02, rm67, or the zero-padded rm 067-02 that matches its catalogue code — but each listing points to the same Richard Mille RM 67 replica, one of the lightest Richard Mille watches you can wear.

The High-Jump Edition

High jump demands explosive vertical force, and any extra weight on the wrist becomes a tangible distraction during the approach run. The 67-02 platform was built to disappear during exactly that kind of effort, which is why multiple track-and-field athletes gravitated toward it. The Barshim edition distinguishes itself through subtle maroon and white colour touches that nod to Qatar without overwhelming the Quartz TPT and sapphire palette. Among the various 67-02 athlete editions, this one reads as confident and purposeful. You can see where it sits in the wider line-up in our guide to the best Richard Mille super clones, and it anchors our RM 67 replica collection, where every rm 67 super clone shares the same tonneau skeleton architecture.

A Near-Weightless Build

The 7.1 mm profile makes the Barshim edition virtually invisible under athletic wear, solving the problem that thicker RM models create when worn during physical activity. The genuine RM 67-02 weighs only around 32 grams including its strap, and the burgundy Quartz TPT case — hundreds of silica-fibre layers compressed and machined into a tonneau shell — keeps this clone featherlight on the wrist. As a quartz TPT watch it stays dimensionally stable under stadium heat, and at this thinness it wears as a true ultra-thin skeleton watch rather than a bulky sports chronograph. This is the thinnest RM silhouette available, and the Barshim captures that focused athletic identity in a case you quickly forget you are wearing.

The Qatari Dial Up Close

The skeletonised baseplate is where the Barshim edition declares its identity: maroon and white accents mark the hands and flange, echoing the colours Mutaz Essa Barshim competes in for Qatar. Set against the open architecture of the burgundy Quartz TPT case, those two tones read clearly without crowding the exposed gear train beneath them. The accent language stays deliberately restrained — a maroon-and-white signature rather than a full flag treatment — which suits a high jumper’s pared-back, focus-first aesthetic. Each marker remains legible straight through the sapphire, so a mid-competition glance costs no concentration.

The Comfort Strap Through the Approach

The white woven nylon comfort strap is elastic rather than rigid, which matters more here than on a dress watch. A high jumper’s approach is a curved run-up followed by a violent change of direction, and a stiff strap would pull against the wrist through every stride. This woven band stretches and recovers with the forearm instead, keeping the near-weightless case flush to the skin rather than letting it swing. The titanium clasp adds negligible mass, and the white fabric pairs with the burgundy case for a lighter, more athletic look than the black-strap editions in the RM 67 line.

Inside the Clone Movement

This super clone runs clone Cal. CRMA7, an automatic skeletonised movement that uses a OneWay variable-geometry rotor rather than a full-size oscillating weight, which is how the slim case height is achieved without sacrificing automatic winding. Bridges are skeletonised to reveal as much of the gear train as possible, and the overall visual effect through the sapphire crystal is mechanical transparency within an impossibly thin package. The movement beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and runs hours and minutes only — there is no seconds hand and no date, exactly as on the genuine 67-02. Power reserve on the clone is 48 hours (genuine CRMA7: ~50 hours). Compare this Barshim edition against the van Niekerk RM 67-02 to see how athlete-specific accents differentiate two mechanically identical watches, or the Zverev RM 67-02 for a different national colourway. All three sit in the wider Richard Mille replica catalogue, and if you want the same featherweight philosophy on another platform, the RM 35-02 Nadal super clone carries it onto Nadal’s tennis edition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the RM 67-02 Barshim super clone cost, and is it good value?

Priced at around $1,399, this RM 67-02 Barshim super clone is one of the cheapest Richard Mille entries that still runs a correct clone Cal. CRMA7 with the proper hours-and-minutes layout. It is widely listed for sale below the steel-cased clones, and the burgundy Quartz TPT case with its woven strap makes it feel far closer to the genuine piece than the price suggests.

How do you spot a fake Richard Mille RM 67, and how is this super clone different?

A careless rm 67-02 fake usually gets the movement wrong — a seconds hand, a date window, or a solid dial where the skeletonised baseplate should be. This super clone avoids those tells by reproducing the two-hand CRMA7 architecture, so what separates it from a crude fake Richard Mille RM 67 is accuracy, while the honest gap from the genuine stays the finishing and the 48-hour reserve versus ~50 hours.

RM 67-01 vs RM 67-02 — which model is the Barshim built on?

The Barshim is an RM 67-02, the automatic sport reference with hours and minutes only, not the RM 67-01 extra-flat automatic that adds a date aperture and a W/D/H function selector. So if you are weighing rm 67-01 vs rm 67-02, this edition sits firmly on the 67-02 side — lighter, simpler, and built around the skeletonised two-hand dial.

What is Quartz TPT and why is it used on the Barshim?

Quartz TPT is a composite built from hundreds of silica-fibre layers, chosen because it is extremely light yet rigid. On the Barshim edition it is tinted burgundy, giving the tonneau case its deep colour while helping hold the whole watch to roughly 32 grams.
