Replica Richard Mille RM 35-02 Rafael Nadal Automatic Quartz-TPT Red Watch

Tennis player Rafael Nadal (Rafael Nadal) watch collection

Wimbledon 2023 is a major tennis tournament that will be played from Monday 3 July to Sunday 16 July. This exciting event made me want to write this blog post about one of the top tennis players of all time, Rafael Nadal.

In terms of Wimbledon, during Wimbledon in 2022, Nadal is preparing for the semi-final match against Australian player Kyrgios at the All England Club. However, Nadal suffered an unfortunate incident during training on Thursday afternoon. Later that night, he had to call a press conference to announce his withdrawal due to an abdominal injury suffered in the quarter-final win over Tyler Fritz. As a result, Kyrgios was eliminated from the match.

We all know him as good friends with Roger Federer, but also a tough rival on the tennis court. With Roger set to retire in 2022, Nadal's new serious rival is now Novak Djokovic.

Last year, I wrote a blog post about the watches Roger Federer likes to wear. Now, I think it's time to talk about the Rafael Nadal watch collection. Welcome to this new blog post about IFL watches. We're going to take a look at the cool watches that Rafael Nadal loves to wear.

It's easy to notice that Rafa likes to wear watches on the court. He prefers them because they are light and can take the bumps and vibrations that come with the movement. These aren't just watches, though. They are manufactured in collaboration with renowned watchmaker Richard Mille. Keeping that in mind, all the watches you'll see in this blog post are from the Richard Mille collection, showcasing their special collaborations.

Let's start with the RM35-03 "Little Nadal".

Inspired by the RM 027 tourbillon watch worn by Rafa Nadal during tennis matches, the RM 035 "Little Nadal" collection creates a compact embodiment of cutting-edge technology for those obsessed with performance .

The RM 35-03 is a chronograph, and unlike the better known RM 27 Nadal, it lacks a tourbillon, but it has all the qualities of a Richard Mille, most notably its light weight Tonneau-shaped case in brightly colored carbon composite and skeletonized dial.

However, the skeletonised automatic movement incorporates another Richard Mille innovation – their patented butterfly rotor. Additionally, it has a sport mode and function selector.

Rafael Nadal shared: “In our respective fields, Richard and I both strive for excellence. We speak the same language and the passion for our work drives us. It is crucial for me to maintain this passion every day. Important. Even though I don't race with an RM 035 style, I'm happy to feel the trust that Richard and his team have in me to be a part of this unique journey.
