Lewis Hamilton‘s long stint with Mercedes meant that he had to don apparels of the same sponsors. The seven times F1 world champion exclusively wore IWC watches over race weekends when he was contracted with the Brackley based team. However, following the Briton’s move to Ferrari, the 40-year-old has switched to sporting Richard Mille watches.
Lewis Hamilton‘s entry to Ferrari has enabled a lot of sponsors to join the Italian constructor for the new era, starting in 2025. Ferrari’s deal with Richard Mille since 2022 meant that even Hamilton will have to wear the watches from the Swiss brand. Ahead of the commencement of the upcoming season, the 40-year-old has unveiled his favorite watch from the mega Richard Mille collection.
Hamilton is all set to wear Richard Mille’s RM67-02 ‘Italy’ edition during his appearances in and around the paddock. The watch in question is built with a combination of composite materials including grade five titanium. Due to this, the watch is only over 32grams in weight despite the flashy looks. This unique material used in the watch has set its price at a whopping $300k.
With Lewis Hamilton now driving for Ferrari, he’s switched from IWC watches to Richard Mille.
