Overview
White Quartz TPT® caseband with green bezels and inlaid Le Mans stripes
Made for Le Mans Classic, the biennial historic racing event Richard Mille has been associated with since its first edition in 2002, this is the eighth watch the brand has produced for the event. The caseband is milled from a solid block of white Quartz TPT®, with front and back bezels in green Quartz TPT®. The double Le Mans stripes on the front bezel are separate pieces of white Quartz TPT® inlaid into the green at 12 and 6 o’clock — the first time Richard Mille had inlaid one TPT material into another.
The dial carries a 24-hour counter at 2 o’clock, with a blue arrow marking 4 pm, the traditional start time of the race. The oversize date sits at 4 o’clock and the Le Mans Classic logo at 7. The edition runs to 150 pieces.
