Mark Cavendish — watch collection

About Mark Cavendish’s watch collection

Mark Cavendish is a professional road racing cyclist from the Isle of Man, widely regarded as the greatest sprinter in the history of the sport. He holds the outright record for Tour de France stage wins, surpassing the long-standing mark set by Eddy Merckx when he claimed his 35th stage victory at the 2024 race — a feat that had seemed untouchable for decades. Across a career spanning more than two decades at the highest level, Cavendish has also won the UCI Road World Championship, multiple stages at all three Grand Tours, and dozens of Monument and Classic victories. He retired from professional cycling in 2024 as one of the most decorated riders the sport has ever produced.

When it comes to watches, Cavendish gravitates toward Richard Mille — a brand whose entire philosophy is built around high-performance materials, motorsport-influenced engineering, and close relationships with elite athletes. The Mark Cavendish watch collection currently includes two Richard Mille references tracked in our database, and at least one of them is genuinely singular. He has been spotted wearing a Richard Mille RM67-02 Automatic finished with orange detailing that directly references the livery of his former Bahrain McLaren team. The piece is understood to be a unique commission produced exclusively for Cavendish during his tenure with the squad, which places it in a category beyond standard limited editions — it is, for all practical purposes, a one-of-one.

The RM67-02 itself was developed by Richard Mille as an ultra-slim automatic calibre designed specifically to be worn during athletic competition, making it a logical fit for a cyclist who spent his career operating at the absolute edge of physical performance. That Cavendish's example carries bespoke team colours elevates it further, tying the watch directly to a specific chapter of his career. The collection as a whole reflects a preference for pieces that connect to his professional identity rather than watches chosen purely for status.
