2026 Richard Mille Releases – What’s New From The Most Expensive Watch Brand

The 2026 Richard Mille releases are well underway, once again balancing the brand’s familiar mix of motorsport-inspired watches, extreme complications, and increasingly elaborate high-jewelry creations. This year’s lineup ranges from lightweight performance-focused pieces to some of the most technically ambitious gem-set watches Richard Mille has ever produced, all while staying firmly within the brand’s unmistakable design language. Here are all the 2026 Richard Mille releases so far, complete with prices, specs, and details.

RM HJ-02 Automatic Tourbillon

Release Date: May 2026

Richard Mille has added a highly unconventional release to its 2026 lineup with the new RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon, the second chapter in the brand’s modern high-jewelry watch collection. This is a collection of 12 unique high-jewelry watches that pair an entirely new in-house tourbillon movement with some of the most elaborate gem-setting work the brand has ever attempted. Organized into four color families — pink, violet, blue, and green — the RM HJ-02 collection celebrates 20 years of Richard Mille women’s watch design while continuing the brand’s increasingly experimental approach to high jewelry watchmaking.

Richard Mille has expanded its 2026 lineup with the new RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon, a collection of 12 unique high-jewelry watches that combine an entirely new in-house tourbillon movement with some of the most elaborate gem-setting work the brand has produced to date. Organized into four color families — pink, violet, blue, and green — the RM HJ-02 collection celebrates 20 years of Richard Mille women’s watch design while continuing the brand’s increasingly experimental approach to high jewelry.

Rather than treating gemstones as decorative accents, Richard Mille designed the RM HJ-02 around them. Each watch contains 1,399 precious and ornamental stones, including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, Paraíba tourmalines, malachite, turquoise, chrysoprase, and mother-of-pearl arranged through multiple gem-setting techniques. According to the brand, nearly 700 hours are devoted to each watch when accounting for gem-setting, finishing, and quality control.

The tonneau-shaped case also introduces a more angular and asymmetrical interpretation of Richard Mille’s signature silhouette, drawing inspiration from Art Deco geometry through layered surfaces and sharp transitions. Richard Mille says the development of the case alone required more than a year.

Inside the watch is the new in-house automatic tourbillon caliber CRMT2, a skeletonized movement with hours and minutes, a fast-rotating barrel, free-sprung variable-inertia balance, and approximately 50 hours of power reserve. The movement’s white gold baseplate and bridges are themselves gem-set, while the automatic rotor also forms part of the overall jewelry composition rather than functioning purely as a technical component.

The Richard Mille RM HJ-02 In-House Automatic Tourbillon is limited to 12 unique pieces in total, and pricing has not been made public yet. But given the limited quantity, high-jewelry treatment, and new movement, we wouldn’t be surprised if each of these retails for around a $1 million.

RM 55-01 Manual Winding

Release Date: April 2026

Continuing the theme of lightweight, performance-driven design, the RM 55-01 Manual Winding arrives as a modern evolution of the RM 055 Richard Mille Bubba Watson, a model originally built around shock resistance and real-world wearability for golf. This new version takes that same idea and strips it down even further, focusing on weight reduction and a more open, minimal architecture.

At the center is the new manual-winding Caliber RMUL4, which weighs under 5 grams on its own. The movement is fully skeletonized, with a grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges treated with black PVD and Titalyt, giving it that familiar Richard Mille industrial look while keeping mass to a minimum. A manual-wind setup helps here, too, eliminating the need for a rotor and allowing more light to pass through the movement.

The movement runs on a double-barrel system designed to improve torque consistency over its 55-hour power reserve, paired with a free-sprung balance operating at 4 Hz with variable inertia. It’s all very much in line with Richard Mille’s approach, where technical solutions prioritize durability and efficiency rather than decoration for its own sake.

The case sticks to relatively compact proportions for the brand at 37.95mm x 47.33mm, offered in three variations: Carbon TPT, White Quartz TPT, and Gray Quartz TPT. These materials keep the overall weight down while adding the layered, striated look that’s become a signature for the brand’s composite cases.

On the wrist, this is about as pared-back as a Richard Mille gets. There’s no excess here, just structure, materials, and mechanics doing exactly what they need to do. Pricing is, however, excessive (which is on-brand for Richard Mille) with reports of the RM 55-01 Manual Winding retailing for $212,000.

RM 07-01 Automatic Colored Ceramics 2026 Collection

Release Date: March 2026

The Richard Mille RM 07-01 returns for 2026 with its final installment of the Colored Ceramics series (which began in 2021), bringing the collection to a close with three new limited editions. Each model is produced in a run of 50 pieces and introduces gem-setting to the already material-focused design.

Offered in blush pink, lavender pink, and powder blue TZP ceramic, the watches continue Richard Mille’s exploration of color and surface treatment that began with earlier versions of the RM 07-01. The bezels are set with a mix of diamonds and colored stones, including sapphires, rubies, and tsavorites. This process was more challenging than usual thanks to the hardness of ceramic.

Aimed at female clients, the cases of the RM 07-01 measure a compact 31.40mm wide, 45.23mm long, and 11.85mm thick with a 50m water resistance rating. The dials combine multiple techniques, including guilloché, ceramic elements, rubber appliqués, and diamond-set components. Beneath it all is the in-house CRMA2 automatic movement, a skeletonized caliber with a variable-geometry rotor and approximately 50 hours of power reserve.

Pricing for these 2026 Richard Mille releases has not been disclosed. However, previous non-gem set RM 07-01 models retailed around $205,000, so it’s safe to assume these will come in higher.

RM 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer

Released: February 2026

The 2026 Richard Mille releases kicked off with a highly specialized complication tied to the world’s most popular sport — soccer. It’s likely no coincidence that the brand’s first announcement lands during a FIFA World Cup year, a tournament held only once every four years.

Limited to 30 pieces per case variation, the RM 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer builds on the brand’s earlier soccer-inspired RM 11 references but introduces an entirely new caliber developed over five years.

Powering the new 2026 Richard Mille is a patented tourbillon flyback chronograph movement developed in collaboration with Audemars Piguet Le Locle. The titanium caliber integrates a tourbillon escapement, a 70-hour power reserve, a function indicator, and a flyback chronograph with overlapping central minutes and seconds. Heavily skeletonized, it comprises approximately 650 components.

A double-column-wheel construction governs the flyback chronograph, ensuring consistent tactile feedback across all pushers. The bridges and baseplate are crafted from grade 5 titanium with extensive hand finishing, PVD treatments, and contrasting surface textures that emphasize depth and legibility on both versions.

Two new soccer-specific complications define this 2026 Richard Mille release. At 9 o’clock, a match-phase indicator tracks the progression from first half to second half and into overtime, advancing each time the flyback chronograph is reset. On either side of the movement sit mechanical goal counters operated via the pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock. Each press advances the score up to nine goals before automatically returning to zero.

The tonneau case is offered in two versions: one featuring Carbon TPT and dark blue Quartz TPT, and another debuting Red Carmin Basalt TPT, a new volcanic rock-derived composite developed with North Thin ply Technology (NTPT).

The 105-component case construction is engineered to meet Richard Mille’s internal shock-resistance standards, including testing up to 5,000 g’s. At $1.94 million each, the price for these new soccer-themed Richard Mille watches is almost as pricey as buying a team!
