When Richard Mille updated its hugely popular RM 30 into the RM 30-01, it came in two initial variations—titanium and rose gold. But late 2023 brought an even more exclusive release: the white ceramic RM 30-01. This eye-catching edition merges the iconic RM shape with a state-of-the-art ceramic construction that adds both durability and a fresh aesthetic twist.
We wrote more about the RM 30-01 when we reviewed the titanium model recently.

High-Tech, Scratch-Proof Exterior
At first glance, you’ll notice the white ceramic top and bottom plates that contrast against the titanium mid-case. Ceramic is renowned for its resistance to scratches and wear, ensuring your watch remains unblemished even if worn regularly. It’s also incredibly lightweight for such a tough material, making it perfect for Richard Mille’s sporty-luxe ethos.
The Newest Addition to the Lineup
The white ceramic RM 30-01 entered the scene after the titanium and rose-gold models, quickly becoming the most sought-after version in the family. Since it’s one of the latest releases, there are fewer pieces in circulation—translating into rarity and desirability.
Exceedingly High Demand & Long Waitlists
While the titanium RM 30-01 might be more straightforward to source, the white ceramic version typically comes with a challenging waitlist or requires extensive purchase history at an Authorized Dealer. Collectors and enthusiasts see it as the standout “halo piece” in the RM 30-01 collection, driving demand even further.
Signature Proportions with Striking Looks
The RM 30-01 is known for its distinctive “full-size” presence:
- 50mm length (top to bottom)
- 42mm width (9 to 3 o’clock)
Even at these larger dimensions, the use of white ceramic keeps it feeling modern, wearable, and surprisingly lightweight. The angular movement design and skeletonized dial remain visible through the front and back, creating a futuristic contrast against the crisp ceramic exterior.
Final Thoughts
White ceramic brings an almost futuristic flair to the RM 30-01—a watch already celebrated for its declutchable rotor, function selector, and upgraded date display. By blending the technical prowess that defines Richard Mille with the clean, contemporary look of white ceramic, the brand has crafted a fresh icon for collectors. If rarity, resilience, and style are your priorities, the white ceramic RM 30-01 might just be the perfect fit for your collection.
