Her holistic commitment perfectly aligns with our brand values,” she remarked.
Fraser-Pryce’s involvement with Richard Mille is more than just a commercial partnership. It represents her dedication and contribution beyond the track. “Our success as athletes isn’t just our own. It’s the result of support from many, and I am grateful for everyone who’s been part of my journey. Representing Jamaica, I feel the strength of an entire nation propelling me forward,” she reflected.
In the promotional campaign for the RM 07-04 Automatic Sport, Fraser-Pryce is seen elegantly sporting the luxury timepiece. “It’s a timeless piece,” she says. “It merges with your persona. When I wear it, it feels like an extension of myself – a perfect synergy.”
