The Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is an exceptional masterpiece born from the collaboration between the prestigious watchmaker Richard Mille and renowned tennis player Rafael Nadal. This watch is a testament to innovation and engineering marvels, combining ultra-lightweight features with incredible durability.
Weighing only 38 grams, including the strap, and measuring at a slim 9 mm thickness, this timepiece boasts dimensions of 37.25 x 47.25 x 9 mm. The RM 27-05 takes pride in being the world’s most lightweight and robust tourbillon watch, able to withstand an astounding acceleration impact of up to 14,000 g.
What sets this watch apart is the newly developed ‘Carbon TPT® B.4’ material, a result of five years of dedicated research. This high-tech composite enhances the density by 4%, fiber hardness by 15%, and resin strength by 30% compared to standard Carbon TPT®. Its anisotropic optimization ensures unmatched impact resistance while maintaining the exceptional lightness that characterizes Richard Mille watches.
The RM 27-05 features a PMMA ultra-light polymer in place of traditional sapphire crystal for the watch glass. This innovative choice not only reduces weight but also offers higher transparency and superior anti-glare properties.
The watch’s openwork skeleton dial reveals striking geometric mechanical aesthetics, with a V-shaped bridge and tourbillon bridge creating a bold visual impact. The skeleton barrel directly displays the winding state, with gear systems strategically placed at 2 o’clock and around 8 o’clock to ensure perfect integration.
The Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is a statement piece that combines cutting-edge materials with precision engineering, designed for those who appreciate the art of horology and the thrill of extraordinary performance.
