Richard Mille RM 35-02 RAFA Red Black Strap Clone – Sporty Boldness Reimagined

The Richard Mille RM 35-02 RAFA Red Black Strap Clone offers a daring blend of advanced materials, athletic inspiration, and striking contrast. This edition builds upon the signature RAFA Red design while introducing a sleek black strap that heightens its visual power. Engineered with NTPT carbon fiber and featuring the innovative RMUL2 skeletonized movement, this model perfectly mirrors the dynamic energy of Rafael Nadal both on and off the court.

NTPT Carbon Fiber Case – Lightweight Strength with Distinctive Aesthetics

The 49.9 x 44.5 mm case is constructed from NTPT carbon fiber, a material renowned for its resilience and lightweight profile. Layers of carbon fiber are interlaced with resin under a specialized automated system, creating a unique marbled pattern that ensures every piece is visually distinct. The vivid red hue adds vibrancy, while black screws punctuate the tonneau-shaped case, reinforcing its technical appeal. Sapphire crystal glass on both the front and back provides durability and clarity, protecting the intricate skeletonized movement within.

Skeletonized RMUL2 Manual-Winding Movement

At the core of this timepiece is the all-new Caliber RMUL2 clone movement, which has been meticulously reproduced to deliver exceptional accuracy and durability. Crafted from grade 5 titanium with PVD coating and a Titalyt-treated baseplate, the movement ensures superior rigidity and flawless alignment. Its skeletonized design allows for a breathtaking view of the balance wheel, gear train, and bridges, highlighting the artistry of mechanical watchmaking. With its adjustable winding barrel and anti-shock architecture, the RMUL2 guarantees reliable performance that mirrors the standards of the original Richard Mille caliber.

Black Rubber Strap – Comfort with a Sporty Edge

This version distinguishes itself with a black rubber strap that contrasts boldly with the red case. The strap enhances the watch’s versatility, allowing it to transition seamlessly from athletic wear to casual or even semi-formal settings. Engineered for resilience, the strap is resistant to moisture, heat, and daily wear, while remaining supple and comfortable against the wrist. Its ergonomic integration with the case ensures stability and a secure fit, even during high-intensity activities.

Performance & Everyday Utility

The Richard Mille RM 35-02 RAFA Red Black Strap Clone is not just about aesthetics—it is designed for real-world performance. The lightweight case reduces wrist fatigue, while the anti-shock architecture ensures stability during physical activities. Its skeletonized dial not only elevates visual intrigue but also underlines its precision engineering. This makes the watch equally appealing to collectors, athletes, and enthusiasts who value technical achievement and bold style.

Water Resistance & Care Recommendations

This RAFA Red Clone features everyday water resistance, making it suitable for light rain, hand washing, or daily exposure to moisture. It is not recommended for swimming or diving. To maintain water protection, always ensure the crown is fully secured before any contact with water. Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes that can compromise gaskets. After wearing in humid conditions, gently wipe the watch and strap with a soft cloth. Regular servicing helps preserve water resistance and ensures optimal performance over time.
