In preparation for the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship season that starts on April 26th at Spa-Francorchamps, Richard Mille presents the new RM 07-01 Racing Red. This new ladies’ watch will be making its first appearance at the high temple of endurance. With its all-female trio of Beitske Visser, Sophia Flörsch, and Tatiana Calderón, the team sponsored by the eponymous watch brand is sure to garner plenty of attention as it makes its FIA World Endurance Championship —WEC— debut in LMP2.
Despite Spa’s numerous challenges, gradients and technical corners calling for the utmost finesse in both driving style and car set-up, the Richard Mille Racing Team is keen to make a successful debut at the highest level of their sport.
To celebrate the team’s first appearance at this high temple of endurance racing, Richard Mille will introduce the RM 07-01 Racing Red in a limited edition of just 50 watches. This sporty version of the emblematic RM 07-01 features the signature red of ‘Roxy’, the Oreca-Gibson #1 car crewed by Beitske Visser, Sophia Flörsch, and Tatiana Calderón, with all the much-vaunted attributes of the famous classic.
Among these attributes on the RM 07-01 there is an in-house Calibre CRMA2, an automatic skeletonized movement. The major innovation for this new collection is its fiery red case made of Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT. Carbon TPT is used on the case band and dial, which is enhanced with Quartz TPT, uniting these two materials, both made for competition and critical to withstanding the shocks experienced in a race car cockpit.
With a power reserve of 50 hours when fully wound, the new Richard Mille RM 07-01 Automatic Racing Red Limited Edition is ready to be worn on a daily basis without any compromise.
Thanks to its harmonious design, ultra-light materials, and a curved case combining resistance and comfort in all circumstances, the RM 07-01 Racing Red will be a constant companion for the three Richard Mille Racing Team drivers, who will wear them while competing as well as in their daily lives.
