Richard Mille 010MBZ first GP OF ABU DHABI 2009
The 2009 Race of Champions, held from November 2 to 4 immediately following the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix, features Richard Mille as the main sponsor and official timekeeper. The Sultan and Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed Bin Zayed, placed a special order for this item, available in only 200 units. They were designed for the first Formula 1 Grand Prix, which began on November 1, 2009.
The track layout and the inscriptions “Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Etihad Airways” are engraved on the dial of this model. The Sultan's insignia, MBZ, replaced Richard Mille's initial identification, “RM,” thus creating the MBZ 010 label.

RICHARD MILLE & F1
Richard Mille presented his first watch in 2001, marking the beginning of a new trend in watchmaking. His brand was born with a bold vision: to incorporate the methods and materials used in the most advanced industries, including F1 racing cars and aviation, into watchmaking. Richard Mille watches have always been the result of experimental research into cutting-edge elements with unique designs that support the idea of efficiency. In essence, “a racing engine on your wrist” was one of the company's first slogans.
