The Richard Mille RM 035 Americas is Richard Mille’s tribute to the Americas Cup sailing competition — an event where lightweight materials and technical precision are paramount. At approximately 33 grams complete, the RM 035 is one of the lightest mechanical chronograph watches ever made. Grand Watch Club offers a super clone version of this extraordinary ultra-light timepiece.
Weight Engineering: 33 Grams of Precision
The RM 035’s extraordinary lightness comes from its NTPT Carbon (North Thin Ply Technology) case — a material developed for high-performance sailing and Formula 1 applications. NTPT Carbon is produced by stacking and pressing hundreds of layers of carbon fiber at alternating 45-degree angles, creating a structure of exceptional rigidity and low weight. The distinctive marbled appearance of NTPT Carbon is unique to each case, making every watch slightly different — a feature that collectors value highly.
Our super clone RM 035 replicates the visual character of the carbon case with a dark, textured material that captures the aesthetic appeal of the original. The tonneau case shape, dual sapphire crystal construction, and titanium spline screws are all reproduced accurately. Explore our full Richard Mille super clone collection.
Calibre RM035-02: Manual Wind Precision
Unlike many luxury chronographs, the RM 035 uses a manual-winding movement — a deliberate choice that allows a smaller, lighter movement architecture. The Calibre RM035-02 features a free-sprung balance wheel, variable inertia balance, and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. The skeletonized movement is visible through both sapphire crystals, showing the bridges and plates that form the mechanical architecture of the watch.
For Whom Was the RM 035 Designed?
The RM 035 was conceived for the active, high-performance lifestyle that Richard Mille represents. Athletes, adventurers, and collectors who want a watch that can survive their activities — sailing, motorsport, golf, tennis — while looking extraordinary find the RM 035 compelling. Rafael Nadal famously wears his RM on the tennis court during Grand Slam tournaments, demonstrating the RM’s resilience under the most demanding conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is NTPT Carbon?
A: North Thin Ply Technology Carbon is a composite material originally developed for high-performance sailing boat hulls. It consists of hundreds of thin carbon fiber layers pressed at alternating angles, resulting in exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and the distinctive “marble” pattern appearance.
Q: How does the RM 035 compare to the RM 011 in complexity?
A: The RM 011 is more complex — it features a flyback chronograph, annual calendar, and GMT. The RM 035 is a time-only watch (hours, minutes) with power reserve indicator, prioritizing simplicity and lightness.
Q: Is the RM 035 available in colors other than carbon?
A: The RM 035 is produced in titanium and various carbon configurations (NTPT, standard carbon). Each material gives a different visual character while maintaining the same case architecture.
