An RM 67-01: the extra-flat Richard Mille built for every day, not the track

The Richard Mille RM 67-01 Automatic Extra Flat — often typed simply as rm 67-01, rm67-01 or 067-01 — is the quiet one in the RM 67 family. Where the RM 67-02 is a sprinter’s watch, a featherweight sport piece tied to a single athlete’s wrist, this 67-01 is the dress-leaning, slip-under-a-cuff version with a date and a crown you actually operate. Our Richard Mille RM 67-01 super clone reproduces that calmer brief: a brushed titanium case just 7.75 mm thick, a skeletonised dial, and applied white-gold Arabic numerals riding on raised titanium rails. As an ultra-thin skeleton watch and a true extra-flat automatic, it reads as the deliberately different sibling to the coloured-carbon RM 67-02 Red Carbon super clone, and it sits in the same RM 67 replica collection.

The W / D / H selector and the date at 5 o’clock

The single feature that tells a 67-01 from a 67-02 at a glance is the small function-selector hand at 2 o’clock, marked W, D and H. Pulling the crown and turning it moves that hand to W for winding, D for setting the date, and H for setting the time — one crown, three jobs, no extra pushers. The date itself sits in a narrow vertical aperture at 5 o’clock, a detail the hours-and-minutes-only 67-02 does not carry. In any rm 67-01 vs rm 67-02 comparison across the RM 67 super clone line, this selector and the date are the clearest giveaway. The clone keeps both: the selector hand indexes to all three positions and the date wheel advances, so the dial reads exactly like the reference it copies.

Inside: clone Cal. CRMA6, automatic and extra-flat

This watch runs a clone Cal. CRMA6, an automatic skeletonised movement laid out like the genuine extra-flat calibre, beating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) on 25 jewels. Power reserve on the clone is 48 hours (genuine CRMA6: ~50 hours) — honest numbers, stated so you know what you are buying. A OneWay-style rotor winds it; this is not a micro-rotor and it is not a quartz movement. Hours, minutes and the date are all it shows, matching the real 67-01’s function set rather than adding anything the original never had. That restraint is the whole point of an extra-flat automatic: the tonneau skeleton stays thin and legible on the wrist.

Brushed titanium, white-gold numerals, sapphire

The tonneau case is brushed titanium, the same lightweight titanium alloy that keeps the genuine piece light and scratch-resistant, capped front and back with sapphire crystal so the skeleton dial and the movement bridges stay in view. The applied Arabic numerals are white-gold-coloured and mounted on titanium rails above the openworked baseplate, giving the dial real depth instead of a printed flat face. Water resistance is 30 m — splash- and rain-safe, not a swimming watch — exactly as the original is rated. Within our wider Richard Mille replica catalogue, this is the Richard Mille RM 67 replica to choose for a monochrome, dress-leaning look.

Black rubber strap, price and who this one is for

It ships on a black rubber strap, the understated everyday option rather than a national-colour sport band, which suits the 67-01’s role as the RM you wear with a jacket as easily as with a tee. Listed for sale at $1,299, it is one of the cheapest Richard Mille super clones we carry that still runs an automatic movement rather than a quartz one. Choose this over the flag-coloured 67-02 editions if you want a date, a crown you set by hand, and a monochrome look; pick a 67-02 if you want colour and the lightest possible wrist feel. For the full range of calibres, cases and colourways, see our guide to the best Richard Mille super clones, compare the dressier titanium here with the sportier RM 67-02 White Ceramic super clone, or cross-shop the tonneau-skeleton RM 35-02 Nadal super clone if a sportier profile appeals.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the RM 67-01 super clone cost, and is it good value?

This RM 67-01 Titanium Extra-Flat super clone is listed for sale at $1,299, which makes it one of the cheaper Richard Mille super clones in our range given it carries an automatic clone Cal. CRMA6 rather than a quartz movement. You get a brushed-titanium tonneau, a skeletonised dial and a working date-and-selector layout for the price of a far simpler watch.

How do you spot a fake Richard Mille RM 67 next to the genuine extra-flat?

Next to a genuine RM 67-01, the honest tells of a fake Richard Mille RM 67 are the movement finishing and the stated 48-hour power reserve versus the real ~50 hours. The dial layout, brushed titanium case, applied white-gold numerals and the date-plus-W/D/H functions are reproduced to match the reference.

Is the RM 67-01 the dress version of the sport RM 67-02?

The rm 67-01 vs rm 67-02 difference is function: the 67-01 adds a date at 5 o’clock and a W/D/H crown selector, while the hours-and-minutes-only 67-02 drops both for the lightest possible sport build. This 67-01 is brushed titanium on a black rubber strap; the 67-02 siblings use coloured carbon on woven straps.

How do you set the date and time with one crown?

You use the function selector: pull the crown and turn it so the hand at 2 o’clock points to W (winding), D (date) or H (hand-setting), then operate the crown in that mode. It is the same W-D-H system the genuine 67-01 uses.
