Richard Mille RM 35-01 Super Clone Rafael Nadal Blue NTPT Carbon with White Rubber Strap

Tonneau Case, Crown and Spline Screw Layout 49.94mm Blue NTPT Carbon Build

The Richard Mille RM 35-01 super clone carries a tonneau case measuring 49.94mm long by 44.50mm wide and 13.15mm thick, machined to the curved Richard Mille profile that the Rafael Nadal collaboration made famous. The case uses blue NTPT carbon for the bezel and caseback ring, paired with a grade 5 titanium caseband that anchors the structural rigidity of the build. Six polished titanium spline screws ring the bezel and lock the case stack to the band, matching the screw count and layout of the genuine RM 35-01. The screw-down crown at 2 o'clock carries an integrated rubber grip ring for non-slip winding and seals the case for water resistance to 50 meters.

Blue NTPT Carbon and Grade 5 Titanium Construction

The blue NTPT carbon bezel and caseback ring of the RM 35-01 super clone deliver a hard, light, shock-resistant surface with a layered weave pattern that runs differently across every individual case. NTPT carbon, an aerospace composite of thin carbon filaments soaked in resin and pressed under heat and pressure, sits among the toughest case materials in modern watchmaking and gives the case its blue-tinted directional finish. The grade 5 titanium caseband provides a strong, light core that keeps the watch under 75 grams on the white rubber strap. This super clone follows the genuine NTPT carbon construction in fibre direction, blue tone, and edge bevel so the RM 35-01 reads correctly on weight, surface texture, and shock feel during sport use.

Sapphire Crystal and Sapphire Caseback

Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating covers the skeletonised dial and lets full light through to the bridges and rotor below. The curved sapphire follows the tonneau profile and holds clarity under angled light, a signature look across the Richard Mille sports references. The sapphire caseback shows the automatic clone movement from below, including the variable geometry rotor and the gear train, and the screw-down crown supports the 50-meter water resistance of the reference for daily wear, hand washing, and light water contact.

Skeletonised Dial with Open Bridges

The skeletonised dial of this RM 35-01 super clone shows the movement bridges, the going train, and the mainspring barrel from the front, with no traditional dial plate covering the architecture. The open design lets the buyer read both the time and the inner mechanics through the sapphire, which is the visual signature Richard Mille builds into every sports reference. This super clone matches the bridge cut-out shape, the satin finishing on the upper bridges, and the open architecture of the genuine RM 35-01 blue.

Blue Hour Markers, Blue-Tipped Hands and Applied Branding

The RM 35-01 carries applied blue hour markers placed around the chapter ring, with blue printed minute track segments and the applied "Richard Mille" branding on the upper bridge. The skeleton hour and minute hands run in baton form with blue tips for high-contrast time reading against the open bridges, and a small seconds register sits at 6 o'clock with a skeletonised counter hand. The marker placement, the colour balance, and the upper-bridge logo follow the blue NTPT carbon reference layout.

Tonneau Layout and Legibility

The tonneau case shape extends the dial vertically, giving the skeletonised display extra real estate for the visible movement architecture. The blue-tipped baton hands stay legible against the open bridges through the colour contrast, and the chapter ring carries the minute track around the outer edge for precise reading. The small seconds at 6 o'clock confirms running rate at a glance, useful for the active Rafael Nadal positioning that the reference targets. The blue carbon bezel frames the dial with its woven texture, which keeps the focus on the movement architecture underneath.

Swiss-Grade RMAL2 Clone Automatic Skeleton Movement

The Richard Mille RM 35-01 super clone runs on a Swiss-grade automatic mechanical movement engineered to match the genuine Richard Mille RMAL2 caliber in feel, frequency, and architecture. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, winds automatically through a variable geometry rotor, and holds a power reserve close to 55 hours for over two days off the wrist. The caliber drives the central hours, minutes, and small seconds at 6 o'clock across a grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges, the architectural choice the genuine RMAL2 uses for shock resistance and weight reduction during athletic wear.

Accuracy, Shock Resistance and Daily Performance

Daily deviation holds within -5 to +8 seconds per day after factory regulation, close to the chronometer band that buyers expect from a Swiss-grade automatic build. The grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges give the movement a strong, light core that handles shock during sport use, which is the architectural reasoning behind the genuine RMAL2 inside the Rafael Nadal reference. The variable geometry rotor adjusts winding efficiency to wrist activity, helping the watch hold full power across a range of daily movement intensities. The 50-meter water resistance and the screw-down crown let the RM 35-01 super clone hold its seal through daily wear, sport, and light water contact.

White Rubber Strap and Grade 5 Titanium Folding Buckle

The RM 35-01 super clone carries a white rubber strap, a brighter visual choice for the blue NTPT carbon case than the standard blue-on-blue configuration. The strap uses a soft, flexible rubber compound that holds its shape across long-term wear, with integrated lugs that flow into the tonneau case for the continuous Richard Mille silhouette. A grade 5 titanium folding buckle closes flush against the wrist for a secure hold and lets the buyer remove the watch without flexing the strap repeatedly. The white rubber strap is the only meaningful point of variation between this listing and the standard "RM 35-01 Blue" configuration, which ships on a blue rubber strap.

Wrist Feel, Sizing and Comfort

The watch weighs approximately 70 grams on the full white rubber strap, which gives the RM 35-01 the light wrist presence buyers expect from an NTPT carbon and titanium Richard Mille. The 49.94mm by 44.50mm tonneau case wears closer to a 44mm round watch on the wrist due to the curved geometry and the short lug stretch, and the 13.15mm height clears most shirt cuffs. The RM 35-01 super clone sits comfortably on wrists from 6.5 to 8 inches with the folding buckle adjusted across the strap holes.
