Named for Rafael Nadal and built around the way Rafa actually wears it on court, this Richard Mille RM 35-01 super clone pairs a white ceramic case with the black woven Velcro strap he straps on between points. The full reference — Richard Mille RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal, also typed as rm35-01, rm 35 01 or simply 35-01 — anchors one of the most recognisable tonneau silhouettes in modern watchmaking, and this replica keeps the monochrome, sport-first character intact.

White Ceramic Case Built for the Court

The tonneau case measures roughly 44.5 x 49.94 mm yet wears flat and feather-light, because the white ceramic shell sits over a skeletonised grade-5 titanium baseplate rather than a solid metal block. A red rubber-coated crown breaks up the white and echoes the red central seconds tip on the dial. This is a ceramic skeleton watch in the truest sense — you read straight through the movement, and the whole piece stays among the lightest mechanical watches you can wear every day.

The Hand-Wound RMUL3 Inside the Ceramic Nadal

Unlike the automatic RM 35-02 and RM 35-03, the RM 35-01 is a hand-wound watch, and this super clone follows that layout faithfully with a manual clone Cal. RMUL3. It is a true three-hand movement: hours, minutes and a central seconds hand tipped in red — the same configuration as the RM 055 Bubba Watson and unlike the hours-and-minutes-only RM 67-02. Beating at 28,800 vph, the clone carries a 48-hour power reserve (genuine RMUL3: ~55 hours), and the skeletonised bridges are finished so the gear train reads cleanly through the blue-tint crystal.

The Velcro Fabric Strap Nadal Wears

The detail that sets this edition apart from its siblings is the strap. Instead of rubber, it ships on a black woven fabric strap with a Velcro closure — the exact comfort fit Nadal uses so the watch stays put through a serve. It is light, it breathes, and it keeps the white ceramic RM 35-01 looking like the on-court tool it was designed to be rather than a dress piece, which is also why this manual-winding skeleton reads so differently from the carbon versions of the line.

How the White Ceramic Nadal Compares

Within the RM 35-01 replica collection, colourway is the main choice. If you want a flash of colour on the wrist, the RM 35-01 White Ceramic Blue Strap super clone keeps the same ceramic case with a brighter band, while the RM 35-01 White Ceramic Grey Nylon super clone goes quieter and more utilitarian. Cross-shopping the line, the RM 35-02 Nadal automatic super clone is the self-winding alternative for buyers who would rather not hand-wind. For the full picture before you buy, our best Richard Mille super clones guide and the wider Richard Mille replica catalogue show how each sits on price and spec, and this white ceramic Nadal remains one of the better-value RM 35-01 pieces for sale.

FAQ

How much does the RM 35-01 White Ceramic Black Velcro super clone cost?

This White Ceramic Black Velcro RM 35-01 is priced at $879, which makes it one of the better-value Rafael Nadal super clones for sale and one of the cheapest routes into a white ceramic skeleton tonneau without dropping to a generic build.

How can you spot a fake RM 35-01 White Ceramic Black Velcro?

The quickest tell is the movement: a genuine RM 35-01 runs the manual RMUL3 with a red-tipped central seconds hand, so any White Ceramic Black Velcro piece sold as automatic, or missing that live seconds hand, is wrong. Check the ceramic case finish and the Velcro fabric strap against the photos too.

What is the difference between the White Ceramic Black Velcro and the RM 35-02 Nadal?

The RM 35-01 White Ceramic Black Velcro is hand-wound with the manual clone Cal. RMUL3, while the RM 35-02 Nadal is automatic. Both are Rafael Nadal tonneau pieces, but this 35-01 is the manual three-hand version with a central red-tipped seconds hand.

Is the White Ceramic Black Velcro RM 35-01 automatic or manual?

It is manual — the RM 35-01 uses a hand-wound movement with hours, minutes and a central red-tipped seconds hand, a 48-hour power reserve and 50 m water resistance, beating at 28,800 vph.
