Lewis Hamilton finished third for Ferrari at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, held at Sepang on 4 October 2026.[1][2]

Over that race weekend, Motorsport.com reported, he wore a Richard Mille RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph, which it valued at $2.2million. Our page on the RM 43-01 he wore in Malaysia covers that watch in detail.[3]

Which watch Lewis Hamilton wears depends on the era. From 2013 he was an IWC brand ambassador. When he joined Ferrari he switched to Richard Mille, the team's watch partner since 2021, Motorsport.com reported. Time+Tide adds that he has worn Patek Philippe in the past. Every sighting below is dated where the source gives a date and cited to the publication that reported it.[4][5][6][7]

Which Richard Mille watches has Lewis Hamilton worn at Ferrari?

Richard Mille has been Ferrari's sponsor and watch partner since 2021, and Ferrari drivers have worn the brand since then. Motorsport.com points out that the watches seen on the grid come from sponsors and likely do not belong to the drivers. That is why this page reports what Lewis Hamilton wore, sighting by sighting.[3][5][6]

The first watch he wore at Ferrari was the RM 67-02 'Italy'. Motorsport.com reported it on his wrist for his Ferrari debut at Fiorano. GQ reported the same automatic extra flat 'Italy' edition again on his second day in Maranello. Motorsport.com put its price at about £300,000 and said it is the lightest watch in the Richard Mille range.[6][8][9]

Lewis Hamilton wore the RM 74-02 Automatic Tourbillon at the start of the 2025 season. GQ reported him in an RM 74-02 in Gold Quartz TPT at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, his first race weekend with Ferrari, and said it was the same watch he wore at pre-season testing in Bahrain. The South China Morning Post reported it on his wrist when he won the Sprint at the 2025 Shanghai Grand Prix, his first win for Ferrari. Motorsport.com valued the RM 74-02 at $600,000.[6][10][11]

The RM 43-01 has two dated sightings. On 29 May 2025, media day at the Spanish Grand Prix, he wore the RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph, which Motorsport.com valued at $1,535,000. Richard Mille limits the RM 43-01 Ferrari to 75 pieces in each of its two versions: Carbon TPT, and titanium with Carbon TPT. GQ says he has been spotted in the RM 43-01 since his move to Ferrari. On 3 October 2026, over the weekend of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, Motorsport.com reported the RM 43-01 Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph on his wrist again and valued it at $2.2million. Our RM 43-01 page has the full story.[3][5][15][16][17]

What else has Lewis Hamilton worn? A diamond-set RM 17-01 and a Patek Philippe Nautilus

Away from the track, GQ reported that Lewis Hamilton wore a diamond-set Richard Mille RM 17-01 to the opening party of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. According to GQ, the few diamond-set rose gold RM 17-01 pieces offered on the secondary market are listed at roughly £600,000.[12]

Time+Tide says Lewis Hamilton has worn Patek Philippe in the past, giving a Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1R as its example, without a date or occasion.[7]

What IWC watches did Lewis Hamilton wear?

IWC said in June 2021 that Lewis Hamilton had been an IWC brand ambassador since 2013. GQ reported that after his last race for Mercedes, the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, IWC chief executive Christoph Grainger-Herr presented him with a Top Gun Perpetual Calendar Boutique Edition to thank him for 11 years with the brand. Motorsport.com reported that Richard Mille, Ferrari's sponsor since 2021, took IWC's place when he moved to the team.[4][5][6][13]

Lewis Hamilton also designed special editions with IWC. On 28 November 2019 IWC presented the Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition 'Lewis Hamilton', ref. IW503002, limited to 100 watches. On 21 September 2023 it presented the Portugieser Tourbillon Rétrograde Chronograph Lewis Hamilton, ref. IW394008, limited to 44 pieces, and called it the third watch from the collaboration, after a 2014 edition. Our page about his IWC special editions covers all three, with the prices reported for the 2023 watch.[18][19][20]
