Richard Mille RM 35-03 automatic winding Rafael Nadal: "Butterfly Effect".

Richard Mille (Richard Mille) introduced the new RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal with a new patented butterfly rotor function. All details are as follows.

Richard Mille and Rafael Nadal are old friends. On the tennis court, Rafael Nadal wore an iconic ultra-light watch with RM 027 tourbillon. Several other models were also released in his name. Today, the brand has released a new model RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal, the main feature is the use of a new winding system with variable geometry rotors.

The new butterfly-shaped oscillating weight allows users to directly change the geometric shape of the oscillating weight to adjust the automatic winding speed to suit their lifestyle and occupation-practical and compelling complications.

The butterfly rotor has two 5-level titanium arms with heavy metal inertia sectors, which are controlled by a separate button transmission. In the initial position, the inertia sector moves the center of gravity to the periphery, converting each movement into torque, which is used to tighten the barrel spring. Press the button at the 7 o'clock position, and the transmission will rotate the two inertia segments by 180°. This balances the center of gravity and the rotor is in a balanced position, so the winding process is terminated and the risk of excessive force on the mainspring disappears.

The transition from one mode to another—that is, from the standard mode that takes place on the chain to the movement mode where the rotor does not work—is done by pressing a button. The winding indicator at 6 o'clock on the dial indicates whether the rotor is engaged (ON) or not engaged (OFF). The function selector is used to control the watch mechanism. By pressing the button at 2 o'clock, you can choose between winding (W), neutral (N) and manual (H).

The new RM 3503 is available in blue TPT quartz with white TPT quartz or white TPT quartz and TPT carbon with TPT carbon surface-and has the same shape as the RM 2704 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal.
