Richard Mille - RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal

Richard Mille presented today the RM 35-03 Rafael Nadal, the 4th timepiece in the RM 035 collection. The RM 35-03 Rafael Nadal has a price of $220,000
Richard Mille presented today the RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal, the fourth timepiece in the RM 035 collection dedicated to the famous Spaniard tennis player. 

Even if Rafa is used to wear the tourbillon watches of the RM 027 collection on the tennis court (see for example the RM 27-04), the timepieces of the RM 035 line are also a condensate of technology.

In fact, the new model introduces a patented innovation that is the result of three full years of development, namely the butterfly rotor that we will explain later in the article.

Measuring 43.15 mm x 49.95 mm with a thickness of 13.15 mm, the new RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal is presented in two variations: in white Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT with the caseband in Carbon TPT or in blue Quartz TPT with the caseband in white Quartz TPT.

Carbon TPT and Quartz TPT are composed of multiple layers of parallel filaments obtained by dividing carbon fibres or silica threads. Their surface displays striations that are always different making each model truly unique in its appearance.

While the RM 35-02 model already possessed a variable geometry rotor — a signature component of Richard Mille automatic movements — the new butterfly rotor of the RM 35-03 allows the wearer to directly interact with the rotor’s geometry, controlling the movement’s winding speed based on lifestyle and activity levels, for a complication that is playful and practical in equal measure.

The butterfly rotor of the skeletonised self-winding RMAL2 Calibre is made up of two weights in grade 5 titanium and metal. In their initial position, the weights cause a radial displacement of the center of gravity, generating the necessary torque to wind the barrel.

With a simple pressure on the pusher at 7 o’clock, a gear train dedicated to the rotor deploys the two weights at 180°. The center of gravity is then brought back to the center, bringing the rotor into balance, stopping the winding process, and any excessive winding of the calibre, in case of sporting activities.

By applying pressure once again to the pusher, the rotor will be functional and wind the movement.

Beating at the frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), the free-sprung balance with variable inertia guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shocks and during movement assembly and disassembly, hence delivering better chronometric results over time. The regulator index is eliminated and a more accurate and repeatable adjustment is possible, thanks to 4 small, adjustable weights located directly on the balance.

Guaranteeing a power reserve of 55 hours, the double-barrel system contributes to torque stability over a longer period. This is achieved by dispersing the stored energy across two winding barrels, equalising torque as well as reducing friction on the bearings and pivots, resulting in improved long-term performance.

The push-button located at 2 o’clock allows one to select the winding (W), neutral (N) and time-setting (H) functions with a simple push. A hand at 2 o’clock displays the selected function. The crown is made in Grade 5 titanium and Carbon TPT with O-ring seal in rubber.

Water resistant to 50 metres / 165 feet, the Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal has an indicative price of US$ 220,000. richardmille.com
