The Richard Mille watch Rafael Nadal wears weighs just 20gms

Just a few days back Rafael Nadal defeated David Ferrer and became the first ever tennis player to win two separate tournaments 6 or more times. At only 24, he has already won nine Grand Slams. No, this post is not on Nadal but what he wore on his wrist that day.  He was wearing a Richard Mille when he won the Barcelona Open. For he is the official ambassador of Richard Mille and was wearing RM027, one of the world’s lightest mechanical tourbillon wrist watches, weighing just 20 grams. It is especially designed for Nadal to allow him total freedom of movement on the tennis court.
Now, the company has launched its new model RM 035, also known as the Rafael Nadal Chronofiable watch. The watch is the first manual winding movement in the Richard Mille collection to have Chronofiable certification.
Chronofiable is an accelerated ageing test that stimulates normal wearing conditions with an intensity factor of about 8. This way, the reliability rate of a watch product is precisely evaluated and only the most resistant watches that survive various shocks, angular accelerations and thermal conditions, can get certification. Today the Chronofiable procedure is an essential step on the path to approval and qualification of the products of many manufacturers.
The RM 035 is made upon the same principles as RTM 027 Tourbillon. This is another super lightweight watch, with a movement weighing just 4,3 grams. The unusual and fully skeletonized core is treated with black PVD, relying on the caliber RMUL1, with 24 jewels and beating at 4Hz. The tonneau shaped case is signature Richard Mille, and is made of an ultra-light magnesium-aluminum alloy. This alloy is composed of 90% magnesium and 8.9% aluminium and helps keep the new RM 035 under 20 grams (including strap).voir plus montre homme de luxe et Swiss Rolex Day Date
