Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal: The Butterfly Effect
Inspired by the Richard Mille
watches replica high quality worn by tennis star Rafael Nadal on court, the RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal is now available. It offers a completely new function, featuring a butterfly oscillating weight. The wearer can change the geometry of the oscillating weight at the touch of a button, thus adapting the way the watch is wound to his lifestyle. A characteristic feature of Richard Mille movements has always been the variable geometry of the winding rotor. However, adjustments must be made by a certified watchmaker. Now, the watch owner can pause the winding himself, for example during sports activities. There are two versions of this watch with different cases. However, the movement with its characteristic oscillating weight remains unchanged.
Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal Case
The RM 35-03 is available in two different versions. On the one hand, with a white quartz TPT case and a carbon fiber TPT middle section. In addition, a version made of dark blue quartz TPT with a middle part of white quartz TPT will be released. These materials are made by weaving and fusing tiny carbon fiber or silica threads, which give the surface a textured appearance. The shape of the case with a hollow design is inspired by the RM 27-04 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
fake men watches actually worn by the tennis star on the court. Measuring 43.1 x 49.9mm and 13.1mm high, the RM 35-03 is stately in size.
The front and back of the watch are protected by sapphire crystals, which also allow a view into what's going on inside. On the right is the large rubber-coated crown, which feels good in the hand, but only guarantees water resistance to 50 meters. In addition, there is a button at 2 o'clock that can be used to switch the function of the crown. Another button is located on the opposite side at 7 o'clock. It bears the inscription "Sport Mode" and triggers the function of the butterfly rotor.
Butterfly motif skeletonized dial
The skeletonized hands of the RM 35-03
high quality mens watches rest on a ring with hour markers in luminescent material. The numerals slope slightly towards the movement to create depth. Otherwise, the front reveals a skeletonized movement. Here, the stylized butterfly motif refers to the special winding mechanism. In addition, the column wheel responsible for the function selector is clearly visible. At 2 o'clock, the small pointer indicates the function currently selected by the crown. If set to "W", the wearer can wind the watch. On the other hand, "N" stands for neutral, while the last position can be used to set the time.
At 6 o'clock, the movement indicates the current mode of the winding rotor. When the red pointer points to "ON", the oscillating weight turns on and winds the barrel. At "OFF", the weight is extended and the rotor is in balance. The barrel has no wounds.
Butterfly rotor movement
The movement of the Richard Mille RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal
review replica watches is made of sandblasted titanium treated with gray plasma. This gives it a flat surface, which is important for the function of the gear train. A freely hanging balance wheel sets the pace here. It operates at 4 Hz and can be adjusted with four small weights on the rim. The energy required comes from a double barrel, which can store up to 55 hours of power autonomy. The patented butterfly rotor is responsible for the winding.
This allows the wearer to stop the barrel from winding if necessary. This is useful as too much activity can negatively affect barrel performance. The rotor consists of two counterweights next to each other in the starting position. With the help of gravity, they generate the torque that winds the watch. However, when the pusher at 7 o'clock is pressed, a separate gear train separates the two oscillating weights. This shifts the center of gravity towards the middle, which also counteracts their winding power. The release of the feature also provides haptic feedback. The wearer thus feels the extension of the weight.
