Richard Mille watch with an open dial and a blue strap from the original RM 011 feature.

Richard Mille RM 011 Le Mans: Details from Our Watch Archive

A Racing Inspired Archive Feature

This feature was originally presented as a Richard Mille RM 011 Le Mans watch. Its photographs focus on an open dial, a curved case and a blue strap. The full reference and edition should be established from the individual watch’s records; a strap color alone is not enough to identify a limited edition.

RM 011 Is Not RM 72-01

The original page address mentions RM 72-01, while the title and much of the article refer to RM 011. These are different references. The address is preserved for existing links, but this article does not combine their movement specifications, production quantities or release dates.

Functions of the RM 011 Family

Richard Mille’s historical record describes the RM 011 Felipe Massa as an automatic flyback chronograph with an annual calendar. A flyback function allows a timing interval to restart without the usual separate stop and reset sequence. Those family details provide context, while the exact configuration still needs to be checked for the photographed watch.

Read the Case and Strap Together

The side and rear photographs show how the curved case meets the strap. Try the watch at the correct strap length and check the clasp position. Thickness and balance matter as much as the dimensions on a listing. A view through the back is useful, but does not substitute for service documentation.

Questions for a Specific Example

Request the reference, edition records, case material, included accessories and available service history. Confirm the operating instructions before using the chronograph or calendar. This is an archive gallery rather than a current stock promise, and limited production by itself does not guarantee future resale value.
