Richard Mille RM 035 35-03 RM35-03 Carbon TPT Butterfly Rotor Rafael Nadal 2023

Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Winding Rafael Nadal is an ultra-lightweight, tonneau-shaped case constructed from Carbon TPT, which gives it a distinctively textured, wavy graphite aesthetic. This specific variant is complemented by a vibrant green ventilated rubber strap and matching crown detailing. At its technical core sits the skeletonized caliber RMAL2, a grade titanium movement with micro-blasted hands and stylized 3, 6, 9, and 12 Arabic numerals. The defining breakthrough of the RM 35-03 is its patented "butterfly rotor" mechanism, which wearers can interactively control via the pusher at 7 o'clock. Toggling this button switches the watch into "Sport Mode," splitting the variable-geometry weights of the rotor apart symmetrically to physically halt the automatic winding process; this protects the twin-barrel movement from excessive mainspring tension and extreme kinetic shocks during intense high-impact sports. Additionally, a dedicated function selector indicator sits at 6 o'clock to display the active winding mode, while a push-piece at 2 o'clock toggles between neutral, winding, and hand-setting functions.
