Richard Mille Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Ref. RM 27-05
The Richard Mille RM 27-05 Flying Tourbillon Rafael Nadal is a groundbreaking expression of ultralight engineering and cutting-edge watchmaking, developed in close collaboration with tennis legend Rafael Nadal. Designed to withstand extreme conditions on the court, this timepiece weighs just 11.5 grams without the strap, making it the lightest mechanical tourbillon watch ever created by the brand.
Its case is crafted from Carbon TPT® B.4, a next-generation composite exclusive to Richard Mille, offering exceptional durability, shock resistance, and a refined matte finish. The skeletonized movement features a flying tourbillon, enhancing chronometric performance while minimizing weight and friction. Despite its feather-light construction, the RM 27-05 is tested to withstand shocks of over 14,000 g—a true testament to its structural resilience.
The manually wound movement provides a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, housed within a monobloc case design for superior strength and rigidity. Every component reflects the brand’s obsession with performance, from the hand-finished bridges to the ultra-efficient gear train.
With its unparalleled combination of extreme lightness, precision, and robustness, the RM 27-05 is not just a watch—it’s a technical achievement born from the spirit of sport and innovation.
Richard Mille Automatic Tourbillon
Ref: RM 74‑01
The RM 74‑01 houses Richard Mille’s in‑house CRMT6 calibre, an ultra‑skeletonised automatic tourbillon movement offering around 50 hours of power reserve. At its core is a free‑sprung balance with variable inertia, adjusted via four micro‑weights for superior accuracy and shock resistance.
The case measures approximately 52.6 × 34.4 mm and is crafted in grey Cermet—an exclusive Richard Mille composite combining the lightness of titanium with the hardness of ceramic—while the caseband, baseplate, and bridges use Grade 5 titanium for strength and durability.
Unique to this model is the variable‑geometry rotor, allowing owners to adjust rotor inertia to suit their activity level, ensuring optimal winding efficiency.
The dial features a fully skeletonised layout, showcasing the movement’s intricate mechanics with visibility down to the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, all protected under a sapphire crystal and paired with a rubber strap for sporty comfort.
To sum up, the RM 74‑01 blends avant‑garde materials, technical innovation, and minimalist elegance in a slim tonneau‑shaped form—ideal for those seeking haute horology with a modern edge.
