The Richard Mille RM 27-02 is not just any watch; it’s a marvel of engineering specifically designed for the renowned tennis player Rafael Nadal. This sporty tourbillon timepiece features an ultra-lightweight case and exceptional stability to withstand the immense acceleration moments in sports.
Inspired by the chassis of racing cars, Richard Mille has integrated the skeletonized main plate and case for increased shock resistance. Collaborating with North Thin Ply Technology, they developed a unique quartz fiber material that is both robust and lightweight, offering a Damascus steel-like rugged texture.
With the sapphire crystal, the watch’s intricate movement is visible, showcasing the floating tourbillon at 6 o’clock and the brand’s fast-rotating barrel at 12 o’clock. This innovative design provides up to 52 hours of power reserve with a 20% boost in energy efficiency at the initial winding stage.
Secured by 12 grade 5 titanium screws, the white bezel complements the watch case. The vibrant orange strap and red crown add a splash of color, while the bright orange accents on the hour and minute hands enhance readability.
This exceptional timepiece boasts a carbon fiber case, sapphire crystal case back, carbon fiber dial, floating tourbillon movement, 19 jewels, woven strap, titanium buckle, and 50 meters of water resistance. The RM 27-02 is a testament to Richard Mille’s commitment to horological innovation and excellence in complex tourbillon functionality.
