RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal

The latest model in the Nadal collection is equipped with a self-winding movement.

In accordance with the pre-match practice at Roland Garros, Richard Mille and Rafael Nadal teamed up again this year to launch the RM 35-02, the first watch in the Nadal series equipped with an automatic movement.

Every watch that Richard Mille has designed in collaboration with Rafael Nadal – from the first RM 027 in 2010 with a carbon nanotube case, to the RM 27-01 with a cable-suspended movement, Or the latest iteration, the RM 27-02, with a carbon nanotube case. Its NTPT carbon "unibody" substrate represents a major leap forward in research and development.

The RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal is powered by the new RMAL1 automatic movement, with baseplate and bridges in wet-blasted grade 5 titanium, PVD/Titalyt® treated and stretched to ensure extreme rigidity and impeccable smoothness surface. Its variable inertia balance oscillates at 28,800 vph and is driven by a twin barrel system that provides a power reserve of 55 hours. Inspired by the RM 35-01, the RM 35-02 was created in response to requests from many Richard Mille customers for an automatic winding device at the heart of the Nadal movement. The brand has opted to use a patented variable geometry rotor that allows the winding to be adjusted according to the wearer's activity.

The RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal Automatic is available in NTPT Carbon or a bold bright Quartz TPT® Red with white highlights. Its layers of silicon, each no thicker than 45 microns, are treated with a red resin made exclusively for Richard Mille, and then layered using an automated system that changes the direction of the fibers in each layer by 45°. Heated under pressure at 120°C in an autoclave, the material is ready for processing by ProArt, a manufacturer specializing in Richard Mille components and watch cases.

The natural white quartz fiber is undyed according to watchmaking and has a very high resistance/weight ratio, hypoallergenic properties and excellent UV resistance. But the real triumph for Richard Mille and North Thin Ply Technology engineers was developing a red resin that contrasted sharply with the natural white of quartz and its clear resin.

This Quartz-TPT® Red can withstand accelerations up to 5,000 g.
