Automatic Flyback Chronograph “Le Mans Classic” IN Green & White Quartz TPT

Advanced Green & White Quartz TPT Material Science Infused with Racing Heritage

The technical case construction of the RM 72-01 Le Mans Classic stands as a profound milestone in modern composite materials engineering, interweaving proprietary green and white Quartz TPT (Thin Ply Technology) layers. Produced by dividing silica threads into hundreds of microscopic sheets and fusing them under extreme atmospheric pressures with tinted resins, this composite armor offers phenomenal resistance to mechanical shock and high-impact G-forces. Measuring a perfectly balanced 38.40 mm x 47.34 mm, the curved chassis complies beautifully with advanced wrist anatomy, offering an ultra-lightweight, second-skin ergonomic profile built for extreme track endurance.

In-House Calibre CRMC1 – A Historical Milestone in Flyback Chronograph Telemetry

At the beating core of this technical fortress lies the high-performance automatic movement Calibre CRMC1, celebrated as Richard Mille’s very first entirely in-house developed Flyback Chronograph caliber. Visible through the sapphire crystals of the Skeleton Dial, the dial face exhibits stylized sub-counters at 3, 8, and 11 o’clock. Notably, the 24-hour counter at 5 o’clock underscores the numeral “16” in bright crimson, paying tribute to the traditional 4:00 PM start time of the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans. The architecture utilizes a patented double oscillating pinion mechanical clutch system, separating the chronograph activation train from the standard time wheels to preserve power stability and ensure chronometric precision.

The Pure Convergence of Vintage Track Splendor and Sovereign Rarity

The architectural design of the RM 72-01 Le Mans Classic edition redefines the boundary of contemporary haute horlogerie, turning a racing telemetry instrument into a masterpiece of personal style. The open-worked architecture incorporates an Oversized Date window at 11 o’clock and a multi-mode gearbox-style Function Selector wheel at 2 o’clock. Connected to a premium white rubber strap, this exclusive series captures an energetic, high-contrast palette that exudes a contemporary sporting lifestyle. Given its extreme production scarcity capped at only 150 examples worldwide, its condition profile is strictly designated as Pre-owned (Collectible), standing as a definitive investment destination item globally.
