The Limited Edition RM 011 Richard Mille LeMans Watch
Le Mans is a classic car racing event that draws in car enthusiasts from the world over. Each year, more and more people flock to this event. It is a unique event in place since 2002 that features a 24-hour race.
The race represents 20 different nations and features over 1,000 different drivers. These drivers represent 30 different nations around the world. This goes to show just how important this worldwide event became since its inception.
The meeting of racing and timekeeping is a natural one. Sector times and lap times mean a ton in racing. They not only play a role in who ultimately wins the race, but they also help guide training, practice, and the tune of the vehicle.
Timepieces have a unique tradition in racing and there is no more of an illustrative relationship than that between Richard Mille and the world of racing.
2020 marked the 10th Le Mans event and also marks the 50th anniversary since Porsche won its first victory in the 24-hour race. For this anniversary, Mille decided to be a bigger part of the event than usual. He both creates timepieces for the event as well as sponsors a number of teams and drivers.
His company was tasked to create a unique watch that could be used to time the event and he most certainly delivered. He creates limited-edition watches to mark each and every Le Mans event and the 10th-anniversary watch from 2020 is exceptional.
One of the key features of his most recent Le Mans watch is that it is a unisex watch that is designed to enable the timing of the entire 24-hour race.
His watches are known for their unique shape and style. They are also known for this complex and sophisticated design that is at the cutting edge of innovation and technology.
This chronograph watch is the first unisex watch created by the company. This comes in tandem with the announcement that Mille is sponsoring an all-ladies F1 team.
The unisex nature of the watch is an homage to the fact that both men and women now participate in this classic event. The watch is smaller than some of the earlier models, making it more suitable for both male and female drivers.
The latest edition of Mille's Le Mans watch is, as we noted earlier, unisex and smaller than some of the earlier models. It is a flyback chronograph watch.
The theme of the watch is "threes". This is why the watch only displays the numerals 11, 3, and 8. There are three subdials. One is for chronograph minutes. The other is a 24-hour chronograph totalizer. The third subdial is for small seconds.
The watch uses a color code. Blue is seconds. Orange is minutes. Green is hours. Mille has long been known to use bright colors in the design of his watch and this is in keeping with that tradition.
The center of the dial features the hour and minute hands and a red-tipped chronograph seconds hand used for timing in races.
This is unique even amongst Mille's other limited-edition timepieces. This most recent watch was 30 months in the making. One of the key features is the use of a new double-clutch movement that isolates the transfer of hours to minutes in the chronograph.
This leads to a smaller case and is more power-saving than previous watches. The watch uses 425 different parts and features a 50-hour power reserve.
The 2020 Le Mans limited-edition Ricard Mille watch is a stunning piece of craftsmanship and design. It is suitable for both men and women. This is in homage to the all-women F1 team that Mille now sponsors. This is a unique departure for the world of racing and the expectation is that we should continue to see women represented in the sport more and more in years to come.
The creation of a Le Mans timepiece that is suitable for both men and women is a departure from tradition. It has only been in recent years that we see women participating in racing more and more.
The representation of women on the track means they too need quality timepieces that look great and can track lap and sector times. This is huge progress in a sport that was, for many years, the endeavor of men only. The changing times mean that now women can take part in this classic and historic racing event.
The unisex nature of the watch makes it inclusive. It looks great on either a man or woman and there it is available in different materials and slightly different styles. These watches come with a hefty price tag. The high price tag is due to the complexity of the construction and design. The watch is a limited edition, which also contributes to the high cost of the timepiece.
The 2020 unisex model is RM 011. There are four different case materials to choose from. This includes titanium, black ceramic, white ceramic, or 18k red gold. Each material lends itself to the watch well and gives it a unique look and feel that is unlike other watches of its kind.

The latest limited edition Le Mans watch from Richard Mille is the RM 011. It took Mille 30-months to design this watch. The watch made its debut at the 2020 Le Mans Classic.
The watch, unlike previous models, is unisex. This represents the advancement of women in the world of racing. With women better represented in the sport, Mille sought to create a watch that works for all.
Richard Mille is a man of ideas and innovation. He seeks to create timepieces that are a perfect blend of personality, function, and quality craftsmanship.
There is no comparison of the style, quality, and precision of these timepieces. This makes the RM 72-01 Automatic Winding Lifestyle Flyback Chronograph a true one-of-a-kind timepiece.
The movement in this version of the watch is the Calibre CRMC1. It features a "skeletonized" movement. The movement features automatic bidirectional winding.
This means that the watch never needs manual winding and always keeps precise time. The watch features hours, minutes, small seconds, date, flyback chronograph, a function indicator, and stop seconds.
While these things might not mean much to the average watch owner, they are incredibly important for a racer.
