Lando Norris's Watch Collection: Every Richard Mille the F1 Champion Wears
Last updated: August 2026
Lando Norris wears Richard Mille, and very little else. He clinched the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship in Abu Dhabi wearing an RM 72-01 flyback chronograph in grade 5 titanium, per Esquire Australia, and Richard Mille's own partner page lists the RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat as his watch.
That is not a coincidence. Richard Mille has been McLaren's watch partner since 2016, and Norris has driven for the team since his debut season in 2019. The catch for anyone reading this and wanting one is that most of what he wears was built for him and never sold at retail. So the practical question is not which serial number is on his watch. It is which reference family he wears, and where those references actually trade. We handle Richard Mille every week, so that is the part we can speak to directly. Below is what independent coverage documents, what Richard Mille itself publishes, and what these references cost in August 2026.

The Championship Watch: Richard Mille RM 72-01
Norris finished third at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and took the drivers' title by two points from Max Verstappen, giving McLaren its first drivers' championship since 2008 (per the FIA and Formula1.com). Esquire Australia identified the watch he wore that weekend as a Richard Mille RM 72-01 flyback chronograph in full grade 5 titanium. Oracle Time later reported that Norris opened 2026 by sharing images in a white RM 72-01 built on titanium architecture, marking the season he became champion.
The RM 72-01 is Richard Mille's first fully in-house automatic chronograph. The caliber CRMC1 drives the chronograph through a column wheel and a pair of oscillating pinions, which is a different engagement method from the horizontal clutch most chronographs use. The tonneau case measures roughly 38.4 mm across, 47.34 mm end to end and 11.68 mm thick, with a 50-hour power reserve. Flyback means one push resets and restarts the timing run in a single action, which is exactly the function a racing driver would use if he ever timed anything by hand.
This is the closest thing on the market to the watch Norris was photographed in at Abu Dhabi: the same reference, the same grade 5 titanium, the same in-house flyback movement. Watches Off 5th also lists the 72-01 in black ceramic, white ceramic and gem-set white gold alongside the titanium, at prices from $300,000 to $600,000 as of August 2026. If the flyback complication is the part that appeals, our flyback chronograph collection runs across several brands at a range of price points.
The RM 67-02: The Watch Richard Mille Built for Him
Richard Mille's official Friends and Partners page for Norris names one reference: the RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat. Oracle Time reported that a customized RM 67-02 appears in his 2026 campaign imagery, and the version he wears carries McLaren's papaya orange against a dark Carbon TPT case.
The 67-02 is the lightest thing Richard Mille makes in volume. Richard Mille publishes the complete watch at 32 grams, using Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT for the case with grade 5 titanium components and an elastic strap. The skeletonized CRMA7 automatic caliber is 4 mm thick, beats at 4 Hz, and holds around 50 hours of reserve. Water resistance is 30 meters. TPT is a layered composite: sheets of carbon or quartz fiber no thicker than 45 microns, stacked with the fiber orientation rotated 45 degrees between layers, which is what produces the striped pattern that lands differently on every case.
Driver and athlete editions of the 67-02 are made in small numbers, which is why the secondary market is where they surface. Two athlete-edition RM 67-02s are listed at Watches Off 5th as of August 2026: the Mutaz Barshim NTPT Carbon at $375,000 and the Wayde van Niekerk at $350,000. Same reference, same 32-gram build, different athlete on the case back story.
The RM 11-03 McLaren and the Watch Taken at Wembley
Time+Tide reported in 2021 that Norris was most regularly seen in the Richard Mille RM 11-03 McLaren Automatic Flyback Chronograph, a Carbon TPT case interlaced with Orange Quartz TPT over a black skeletonized dial. Richard Mille built 500 of them, launched at the 2018 Geneva motor show and developed with McLaren's design office. Time+Tide put the 2018 retail at approximately $191,500 and noted the piece was trading well above $300,000 by 2021. It is a self-winding flyback chronograph with an annual calendar, which is a calendar that handles every month length except February.
On 11 July 2021, Norris attended the Euro 2020 final at Wembley. ESPN reported that his watch was taken from him outside the stadium afterwards, and that McLaren confirmed the incident, saying "Thankfully, Lando was unharmed but he is understandably shaken." Reported values for the piece ranged from £40,000 to well into six figures depending on the outlet, and Time+Tide noted at the time that the exact reference was never publicly confirmed. We are reporting what was documented and leaving the reference open, because nobody credible ever pinned it down.
Why the Whole Collection Is Richard Mille
McLaren announced a ten-year partnership with Richard Mille in February 2016, ending a watch relationship with TAG Heuer that had run for roughly three decades (per Motorsport Week and Crash.net). Richard Mille became the team's official watch partner, and the drivers wear the brand as part of that arrangement. Norris joined in 2019 and has been in Richard Mille since.
The partnership has produced four McLaren-specific watches, according to Watchonista. The RM 11-03 McLaren arrived in 2018. The RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail followed, shaped around the Speedtail hypercar. The most recent is the RM 65-01 Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph McLaren W1, a 500-piece run in Carbon TPT and grade 5 titanium, powered by the RMAC4 caliber at 5 Hz for tenth-of-a-second timing, with a 60-hour power reserve and a case measuring 43.84 x 49.94 x 16.19 mm. Watchonista listed it at $388,000. We have not found independent coverage placing Norris in the 40-01 or the 65-01, so treat them as McLaren pieces and not as documented additions to his own rotation.
One thing worth separating out: the brand on the driver and the brand on the timing screens are two different businesses. TAG Heuer returned as Formula 1's Official Timekeeper in January 2025 under LVMH's sport-wide agreement, taking over from Rolex, which had been the sport's Official Timepiece (per Robb Report and Monochrome). That has no bearing on what McLaren's drivers strap on. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, for his part, has been photographed in a prototype RM 67-02 finished in Ferrari red and white per Oracle Time, and Max Verstappen wears TAG Heuer. We break the whole grid down in our guide to what Formula 1 drivers actually wear, with deeper looks at Max Verstappen's watch collection, Charles Leclerc's watch collection, and Lewis Hamilton's watch collection.
What Norris's References Cost in 2026
Richard Mille does not publish a public price list, and the driver editions never carried a retail price at all. Every figure below is either a launch retail number reported by the outlet named, or an actual Watches Off 5th asking price in August 2026. We are a grey market and pre-owned dealer with no authorized-dealer relationship to Richard Mille, so we quote retail from published reporting and we quote our own prices from our own listings.
| Reference | Norris Connection | Price (Aug 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| RM 72-01 Flyback Chronograph, titanium | Worn at the 2025 title win, per Esquire Australia | $300,000 at Watches Off 5th |
| RM 72-01, ceramic and gem-set variants | Same reference family | $450,000 to $600,000 at Watches Off 5th |
| RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat | Named as his watch on Richard Mille's partner page | $350,000 to $375,000 for athlete editions at Watches Off 5th |
| RM 011-03 McLaren, 500 pieces | Reported as his most regular piece in 2021, per Time+Tide | $670,000 at Watches Off 5th (approx. $191,500 retail at 2018 launch) |
| RM 65-01 McLaren W1, 500 pieces | McLaren partnership piece, no Norris sighting sourced | $388,000 launch price per Watchonista |
Two things are worth flagging here. With the 67-02, 32 grams does not read as a number until it is on your arm. And the McLaren-liveried 011-03 is the hardest of the four to source, because 500 pieces spread across a global collector base does not leave many in circulation at any given moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What watch does Lando Norris wear?
Richard Mille. His brand page names the RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat, Esquire Australia documented an RM 72-01 flyback chronograph in titanium at his 2025 championship win, and Time+Tide reported in 2021 that the RM 11-03 McLaren was the piece he was seen in most often.
How much is Lando Norris's Richard Mille worth?
It depends on the reference. An RM 72-01 in titanium is listed at $300,000 at Watches Off 5th in August 2026, RM 67-02 athlete editions at $350,000 to $375,000, and the 500-piece RM 011-03 McLaren at $670,000. His personal driver editions were never sold at retail.
Is Lando Norris a Richard Mille ambassador?
Yes. Richard Mille lists him on its official Friends and Partners roster. The tie comes through McLaren, which committed to the brand for ten years in February 2016 (per Motorsport Week), closing out roughly thirty years of TAG Heuer as the team's watch partner.
What happened to Lando Norris's stolen watch?
ESPN reported that Norris had a Richard Mille taken from him outside Wembley Stadium in July 2021, after the Euro 2020 final. McLaren confirmed the incident and said he was unharmed but shaken. Reported values varied widely across outlets and the exact reference was never publicly confirmed.
Which watch did Lando Norris wear when he won the F1 championship?
Per Esquire Australia it was the RM 72-01 flyback chronograph, cased entirely in grade 5 titanium. That reference is Richard Mille's first fully in-house automatic chronograph. He wrapped up the 2025 championship with a third-place finish at Abu Dhabi, two points clear of Max Verstappen, and it was McLaren's first drivers' title since 2008.
Can you buy the Richard Mille watches Lando Norris wears?
The exact driver editions were never offered as retail products, so the secondary market is where those reference families turn up. Watches Off 5th lists RM 72-01, RM 67-02 and RM 011-03 McLaren examples. We work in the grey and pre-owned market, and we are not an authorized dealer for Richard Mille.
