Van der Poel won with a watch worth over 300,000€
After the race, we found out that Van Aert was returned the Garmin watch he lost in the last lap, now we have confirmed that Van der Poel won with a luxury one. The Richard Mille RM67-02 watch that Van der Poel wore during the entire race and in his finish line photo costs more than €300,000.
Mathieu van der Poel won his seventh CX World Championship with a luxury watch worth over €300,000
The Dutchman conquered his seventh world title in the elite category last Sunday in Liévin, France, and continuing with the luxurious style he sometimes shows, like his arrivals at the circuits in a Lamborghini, this time he wore a Richard Mille RM67-02 watch valued at over €300,000 on his wrist.
It is the lightest automatic watch from this exclusive brand, weighing just 32 grams achieved through the combination of TPT® composite materials, grade 5 titanium, and its elastic bracelet, the lightest strap ever created by the brand.

This is not the first time we have seen this type of watch in cycling, and among the cyclists supported by Richard Mille are Tadej Poga?ar, Mark Cavendish, and Julian Alaphilippe.
The exclusive Swiss manufacturer has established its presence in the world of sports with an impressive list of ambassadors. From tennis with Rafael Nadal, to Formula 1 with Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris, to golf with Bubba Watson, the brand has become synonymous with prestige and high performance.
Van der Poel's gesture crossing the finish line with his watch in perfect condition is undoubtedly an image that will likely adorn the offices of Richard Mille alongside photos of Cavendish winning his 35th stage of the Tour de France and Poga?ar dominating the race with his yellow watch.
By the way, on his other hand, Van der Poel was wearing the Whoop bracelet that we have talked about on other occasions.
