In response to fan requests, Richard Mille introduced its inaugural automatic timepiece within the Rafael Nadal Collection, the RM35-02. The distinctive tonneau case, measuring 44.5mm x 49.94 mm, boasts a slim profile at 13.15 mm, crafted from Carbon TPT—a proprietary resin-infused material unique to Richard Mille. The striking red Carbon surface of RM35-02 showcases impeccably regular undulations, crafted from multiple layers of parallel filaments derived from divided carbon fiber or silica threads. Ensuring effortless readability, the transparent sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides.

Powered by the Calibre RMAL1, this automatic watch features a skeletonized movement, displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and a commendable 55-hour power reserve. The skeletonized movement incorporates a baseplate and bridges constructed from wet-sandblasted grade 5 titanium, guaranteeing optimal rigidity and endurance. The timepiece is complemented by a fabric strap equipped with a secure velcro fastener. Notably, the RM35-02 boasts a water resistance of up to 50 meters (164 feet).
