2026 Richard Mille Releases Kick Off With Soccer Theme

The 2026 Richard Mille releases begin 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. As more 2026 RM watches are unveiled, we’ll update this page accordingly, but first, let’s get into the new Richard Mille RM 41-01.

First Richard Mille Release of 2026: RM 41-01 Tourbillon Soccer

Released: February 2026

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!
