RICHARD MILLE (Richard Miller) is a pioneer of high-end watches. It has been popular with people since its birth, especially its cross-border collaboration with racing, sports, etc., which has greatly increased the industry's popularity. This RM35-03 was designed in collaboration with Richard Miller and tennis player Rafael Nadal. Unlike in the past, the watch presents a very fresh and natural style, and the color combination is more lively and sporty.
RM35-03 uses ultra-light wear-resistant white quartz carbon fiber and carbon fiber bezel, paired with a black carbon fiber mid-layer case. The thickness of each fiber is less than 45 microns and is superimposed at a 45-degree angle. The texture formed by the high pressure of carbon fiber is different, making each watch unique.
dial is an open design, presenting a unique butterfly movement plywood. From the front, you can directly see the movement's black plating, chamfering, polishing, brushing, sandblasting and other processes and details. The position of 2 points is the crown status indicator, the position of 6 points is the rotor winding state, ON indicates the normal mode, and OFF indicates the motion mode of stop winding.
This watch is equipped with a RMAL2 automatic winding movement with a swing frequency of 28800vph. The double barrel provides a 55-hour power reserve. The special thing is that the movement is equipped with an exclusive patented "butterfly rotor" system, allowing the wearer to independently control the winding mode by adjusting the swinging shape, thereby adapting to different usage needs.
According to Richard Miller, this movement took three years to develop. Press the button at 7 o'clock on the side of the crown to switch the shape of the rotor, providing "normal mode" and "sport mode". In the "sport mode", the rotor's torque output is minimal, so that excessive winding damages the movement, which is very suitable for high-speed wrist movements such as tennis.
You can see that Richard Miller's cross-border cooperation with tennis player Rafael Nadal is not just a simple joint brand, but redesign and develop according to the actual use needs of athletes. In addition, the light blue crown and strap give people a refreshing and energetic feeling, which is also very well matched with the theme of "sports".
Of course, as the leader in the field of high-end watches, the price of this RM35-03 is also very "high-end". It is paired with a blue rubber strap and the official price is 1.631 million yuan. What do you think?
