The annual Roland Garros French Open is about to open. Richard Mille and the Spanish tennis star have once again joined forces to launch the new RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal watch, which is also The first watch equipped with an automatic movement released in the 6-year cooperation between the two parties.
Richard Mille's special series of watches is synonymous with innovation, lightness and impact resistance, and the name "Nadal" adds to its brilliance. From the first carbon nanotube RM 027 watch in 2010, to the steel cable suspension structure RM 27-01 watch, to the NTPT carbon integrated substrate RM 27-02 watch, Richard Mille has made great achievements in watches. Huge leaps forward in design and development.
is equipped with a new RMAL1 movement, a variable inertia balance wheel with a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour (4 Hz), and a dual barrel system to ensure stable torque and provide 55 hours of power storage. Taking inspiration from the RM 35-01, Richard Mille responded to the needs of many customers and equipped the RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal watch with an automatic winding mechanism. The new watch is equipped with a variable-geometry rotor (a true hallmark of Richard Mille's self-winding movements), allowing it to be wound according to the movement of the wearer. Another precedent for this series is that the bottom of the watch uses an anti-glare sapphire crystal mirror, which allows you to appreciate the precise operation of the movement from all angles.
The new RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal automatic watch is equipped with a TPT quartz fiber case, measuring 49.94 x 44.50 x 13.15 mm, and adopts a bold and bright red color scheme. Silica fiber layers with a thickness of no more than 45 microns are interwoven with the brand's special red resin fibers through a special automated control system. The fibers between each layer are interlaced at a 45-degree angle. Then, after heating to 120 degrees Celsius in a pressure cooker similar to those used for parts in the aerospace industry, the material can be sent to ProArt for processing. Natural quartz fiber is white, lightweight, has excellent impact resistance, is non-allergenic and UV resistant.
The real achievement of Richard Mille and NTPT engineers was the development of red resin, which contrasts with the natural white quartz fibers and clear resin. The TPT fiber red watch case has good compatibility, combines stability and sturdiness, and complies with the REACH chemical registration, evaluation and authorization standards. The entire watch has excellent impact resistance and can operate normally under 5,000Gs gravity acceleration.
