Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Winding Rafael Nadal

The RM 35-03 is a highly innovative sports timepiece inspired by tennis legend Rafael Nadal. This specific variant features a multi-tiered tonneau case constructed from Carbon TPT®, a high-performance material renowned for its unique damascene wavy pattern and extreme resilience against impacts. The watch stands out due to its highly technical, open-worked skeleton architecture and a prominent light blue rubber-molded crown. Its core horological innovation is the introduction of a user-adjustable mechanical winding layout that adapts to intense athletic movement on demand.

Key Features

  • Patented “Butterfly” Rotor: A groundbreaking mechanism that allows the wearer to interactively adjust the geometry of the winding rotor. By pressing the pusher at 7 o’clock, the rotor splits into two wing-like halves, halting the automatic winding process during high-impact sports to prevent overwinding stress.
  • Sport Mode Indicator: An on-dial indicator hand at 6 o’clock displays “ON” or “OFF” to visually inform the user whether the self-winding mechanism is currently active or safely locked out.
  • Function Selector: A dedicated pusher at 2 o’clock allows the user to cycle through Winding (W), Neutral (N), and Hand-Setting (H) functions, akin to a car’s gearbox.
  • Carbon TPT® Construction: The ultra-lightweight case uses specialized carbon fiber sheets layered at 45-degree angles, creating a highly scratchproof, unique matte texture.
  • Grade 5 Titanium Baseplate: The entire skeletonized automatic caliber is anchored to a micro-blasted grade 5 titanium chassis for maximum structural stability under extreme physical stress.
