Description
Product Overview
The Richard Mille RM 035 was developed in partnership with tennis champion Rafael Nadal and launched in 2011 as a non-tourbillon, everyday-durable alternative within the Rafael Nadal watch family, earning the nickname “Baby Nadal.”
Design & Construction
The RM 035 uses a lightweight tonneau-shaped case; early references were built in alumagnesium, an alloy combining aluminum, magnesium, and copper for strength with reduced weight.
Dial & Features
The dial is skeletonized, exposing the movement’s construction, and the watch was designed to focus on durability rather than added complications such as a tourbillon.
Movement
Skeletonized manual-winding movement (Calibre RMUL1), the first Richard Mille caliber to receive Chronofiable certification, a test simulating six months of wear in 21 days through extensive shock and temperature testing.
Why Choose This Watch
Appeals to collectors who want the Richard Mille sports-watch identity and Nadal pedigree in a lighter, non-tourbillon package.
