Richard Mille RM 72-01 Le Mans Classic

The Richard Mille RM 72-01 Le Mans Classic pays homage to one of motorsport’s most legendary endurance races. This limited edition flyback chronograph captures the spirit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with its striking green and white Quartz TPT case—a material as technically advanced as the race cars that inspired it.
At 38.4mm, the RM 72-01 sits confidently on the wrist while maintaining the brand’s signature tonneau silhouette. The skeletonized dial reveals the intricate CRMC1 automatic caliber, a movement developed in-house by Richard Mille featuring a flyback chronograph function essential for precision timing on the track.
The case construction showcases Richard Mille’s mastery of composite materials. Quartz TPT consists of over 600 layers of silica filaments, each no thicker than 45 microns, stacked and cured under heat and pressure. The result is a case that’s incredibly lightweight yet extraordinarily rigid—perfect for withstanding the demands of high-speed motorsport.
Design cues throughout the watch reference the Le Mans Classic event: the green and white colorway echoes the racing liveries of vintage endurance racers, while the chronograph pushers are designed for gloved operation. A white rubber strap completes the motorsport aesthetic while ensuring comfort during extended wear.
