The Le Mans Classic is a biennial vintage sports car event held on the grounds of the legendary Le Mans Circuit. The event consists of a series of races for cars which have competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans or for similar cars of the same model. Car shows and auctions are also hosted on the circuit grounds, with various car clubs meeting to show off machinery.
The official partner of this event since its creation in 2002, Richard Mille will present their new watch dedicated to the race, the RM 11-03 Le Mans Classic flyback chronograph, an individually numbered limited edition of 150 pieces housed in a super-sporty three-part tonneau case (49.94 mm x 44.50 mm x 16.15 mm).
The first RM 11-03 in white ceramic, this new model is characterised by accents in the typical British racing green.
Several details evoke the world of racing cars: the groove of the pushers recalling the surface of vintage pedals, the precision-machined crown, the Le Mans Classic logo appearing on the dial at 12 o’clock and the number "16" highlighted in red on the 24-hour counter at 6 o’clock, an allusion to the start time of the endurance race.
The oversize date display of the annual calendar - with automatic adjustment for months of 30 and 31 days - is placed in a green outlined horizontal aperture under 12 o’clock while a small month display is placed between 4 and 5 o’clock.
On the back, a satin-brushed PVD-treated lower bridge highlights the double barrel mechanism ensuring a power reserve of around 55 hours and the modern lines of the variable-geometry rotor in grade 5 titanium.
This technical solution makes it possible to adjust automatic winding of the watch to the wearer’s activity level by varying the inertia of the rotor thanks to two microblasted and chamfered wings in white gold.
The 4 Hz (28,800 vph) free sprung balance is highly resistant to shocks and can be tuned more precisely than a traditional balance wheel. The price of the Richard Mille RM 11-03 Le Mans Classic is Euro 186,000. richardmille.com

If you wear an authentic RM, you must be a billionaire or so. Must say that I haven't seen fake RM yet. I guess it's because it's too difficult to create copies that look similar to the originals.
