The Richard Mille RM 30‑01 Le Mans Classic is the brand’s 10th collaboration with the iconic endurance racing event since 2008, honoring the 12th Le Mans Classic held July 3–6, 2025.

Presented in a signature Richard Mille tourneau-shaped case, measuring 42 mm x 50 mm (17.59 mm thick), the RM30-01 Le Mans Classic is available as a 150-piece limited edition.

Constructed with curved titanium bezels front and back, and a green quartz TPT middle case, the advanced case design is both robust and lightweight. The grade 5 titanium is hand-ground and is secured with screws that have been precisely finished with sapphire-beveled screw slots. 

The 4Hz, 38-jewel Richard Mille caliber RMAR2 automatic movement is built around a skeletonized titanium mainplate and bridges and operates with a patented declutchable variable-geometry rotor to avoid overwinding by disengaging between 40-55 hours of reserve. Further, a clutch‑engagement indicator at 11 o’clock shows when the rotor is actively winding. 

The coolest mechanical feature is a power reserve indicator that’s displayed like a racetrack, as the power remaining continuously changes.

A 24‑hour counter at 2 o’clock with a green-highlighted “16” marks the traditional 4 PM start time of Le Mans.

The function selector, operated by a pusher at 2  o’clock, with display at 3  o’clock, allows you to engage with the watch in a unique way — and jump between (winding/date/hand-setting) — at the push of a button.

The RM30-01 Le Mans Classic is water-resistant to 50 meters and is paired with a premium integrated, matching green ventilated racing rubber strap. Like an F1 or advanced race car, every component is state-of-the-art, and like a race car, the price is far above most timepieces, at $278,000.
