The Richard Mille RM 72-01 ‘Le Mans Classic’ is a limited edition created to honor the iconic endurance race, distinguished by its striking white and green Quartz TPT case. With alternating layers of silica-based fibers fused at high temperatures, the case delivers exceptional resilience in a bold visual package. Measuring 38.4mm × 47.3mm, the case houses a skeletonized dial featuring a tri-counter flyback chronograph layout and signature Le Mans Classic logo at 11 o’clock—an homage to the start time of the race.

Limited to just 150 pieces, this edition blends cutting-edge engineering with motorsport heritage. Its light weight, shock resistance, and vivid color scheme position it among the most distinctive RM 72-01 executions. For collectors, it marks a rare fusion of design, performance, and event-specific legacy—an ideal expression of Richard Mille’s high-octane identity.

Celebrating its longstanding partnership with the Le Mans Classic since 2002, Richard Mille unveiled the RM 72‑01 “Le Mans Classic” in a limited run of 150 pieces, honoring the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Encased in a striking white and green Quartz TPT tonneau as a nod to the event’s signature colors, this 38.4 × 11.68 × 47.34 mm case is both lightweight and visually distinctive, held together by 20 grade‑5 titanium spline screws.

Underneath the bold exterior beats the in‑house CRMC-1 caliber, Richard Mille’s first automatic flyback chronograph movement. Running at 4 Hz with approximately 50‑hour power reserve, the movement powers hours, minutes, date, small seconds, a flyback chronograph, and a gear‑box style function indicator (Winding, Date, Hand‑setting). The skeletonized dial features subdials in white, green, and orange, a vertical date display at 7 o’clock, and the “16” colored in red on the 24‑hour register—a tribute to the 4 pm Le Mans start time—accented by the event logo nestled near 11 o’clock for subtle provenance.

Worn on a green rubber strap with a titanium folding buckle, the RM 72‑01 “Le Mans Classic” is a technical and stylistic statement piece: it pairs motorsport heritage with mechanical precision and avant‑garde materials. With its vivid race‑inspired motif, sophisticated chronograph function, and extreme limited availability, it remains one of Richard Mille’s most collectible editions to date.
