RM 30-01 Le Mans Classic: A Tribute to Racing Heritage, Reimagined for 2025

From July 3rd to 6th, 2025, the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe will once again roar to life as Le Mans Classic returns for its 12th edition. With more than 750 historic race cars spanning from 1923 to the early 2000s, this biennial event remains one of the most prestigious celebrations of endurance racing. Divided into six distinct "grids" based on racing eras from 1923 to 1981, the event revives the golden days of motorsport for both drivers and fans alike.

Over 1,000 drivers will take part, while over 9,000 classic cars from collectors, clubs, and major automotive brands will be displayed across the venue. Since its launch in 2002, Le Mans Classic has grown from a 30,000-spectator event to drawing over 235,000 attendees in 2023 alone — a testament to its enduring appeal and international reputation.

A Movement Built Like a Race Car

Inside the RM 30-01 ticks the RMAR2 calibre, a movement designed with the precision of a top-tier race car. It incorporates a new 24-hour subdial, with the number "16" highlighted in green — a clever nod to the start time of the Le Mans 24 Hours, also known as the “green flag moment.”

The skeletonized dial layout, reminiscent of a race circuit’s curves and complexity, is both a visual and mechanical thrill. The power reserve indicator (55 hours), function selector, and clutch engagement display provide the kind of nuanced control typically reserved for race engineers — now on your wrist.
