replica Richard Mille RM35 watches

In 2014, Richard Mille released another watch in the new series of Rafael Nadal watches called the RM 35-01. As early as 2010, Richard Mille put a tourbillon-based watch on the wrist of the Spanish tennis champion and let him wear it while participating in the sport. It not only shocked the watch industry, but also shocked the watch industry. Shocked the whole world. Not only did Nadal win the trophy wearing a limited-edition RM027 watch worth over $500,000, but he also lost/broken a few trophies along the way.

What made the original RM027 best replica watches so special was its weight. I forget the exact record it set (since many records have come and gone), but I'm pretty sure it was the lightest mechanical or tourbillon-based mechanical watch ever made due to its exotic lithium alloy case material . The idea was that it would be light enough not to hinder Nadal's game but durable enough to withstand it. From a marketing perspective, this is genius. A few years later, Richard Mille decided to continue the Nadal legend and released a follow-up model, the RM 27-01 series of watches, available in a variety of colors. The RM 27-01 is larger and more interesting looking than the original, but is actually 1 gram lighter at 19 grams. It also utilizes a unique tension cable system to hold the tourbillon movement in place, making it more shock-resistant.

Therefore, the biggest mechanical difference between the 2014 RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal and previous models in the series is the lack of a tourbillon. Can a watch really be a "Nadal" without a tourbillon? In fact, Richard Mille has equipped most of its sportsman watches with tourbillon-based movements. While the brand’s tourbillons do reach the most “Mille” level, I consider some of the brand’s non-tourbillon movements to be their best.

While the visuals are very satisfying, the Caliber RMUL3 movement inside the RM 35-01 is relatively simple, offering only hours, minutes and seconds. It is manually wound and has a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. The movement is made mostly of titanium bridges and runs at 4 Hz (28,800 bph). Again, this is a more basic Richard Mille movement, but still has a lot of the visual technical flair one has come to expect from the brand. Grand Seiko Spring Drive Caliber 9R

The RM 35-01 is not focused on movement innovation, but is part of several new watches for 2014 showcasing the new materials used by Richard Mille in the case. They call it NTPT carbon, and we first introduced it here in late 2013. "NTPT" stands for the company that makes the product; this is North Thin Ply Technology, which is actually based in Switzerland. The material is a special layered carbon composite, technically a high-tech laminate. It has a multi-layer structure and has been used for a range of industrial and sporting purposes, such as America's Cup sailing boats. It happens to have the unique quality of looking like Damascus steel if produced in the right way.

Damascus steel is a layered metal that is (especially) treated with acid to reveal its individual layers and is said to have a "woodgrain" style texture. Damascus steel is used in some watches, such as those produced by Gustafsson & Sjogren (Gos), and is often favored by collectors for its visual style. Now, Richard Mille has its own "Damascus" material with an interesting NTPT carbon look, in this case in black. I have a feeling the material could be almost any color, although I haven't been able to confirm this yet. Replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon

So how does NTPT carbon fiber perform on the watch case? It's actually pretty cool. I don’t know if I personally would have thought of using this for a tennis player-related watch, but the texture of the material blends with the overall look of the watch and strap to great effect. While the base color is black, the shell comes in a series of slightly glossy grays that combine almost like a futuristic camouflage. It doesn’t look fancy, and unlike some of the exotic polymers Richard Mille uses in other timepieces, NTPT Carbon does have the air of a very high-quality material.

From the looks of things, the casing material should be very hard and durable. There is no doubt that the case will withstand all forms of abuse very well when subjected to severe shock, while the mechanical movement inside the case will become a spare part for all kinds of damage. So how light is the overall watch? For a collection that focuses on lightweight, Richard Mille does not provide the total weight of the case. Although they say the total weight of the RMUL3 movement is an incredibly low 4 grams. Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 Victoria Beckham

Like last year’s RM 27-01 watch, the RM 35-01 will come with a Velrco fabric strap. A strap like this is difficult to take off in a high-end fashion, but for a cool sports watch like this I think it works. Honestly, I am more confident in the durability of this watch than other watches with tourbillons. Logically, a simple three-hand hand-wound movement would have to endure more effort than a finicky tourbillon. If you are the kind of person who likes to wear Richard Mille watches as daily wear, then the RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal is definitely a good choice. It has a comfortable design, an easy-to-bridge red rubber-covered crown, and is clear and easy to read. replica watches on sale . Dial and durable features. ​
