Measuring 48mm in stainless steel, the RM 35-02 follows Richard Mille's distinctive tonneau case geometry — a curved silhouette designed to sit comfortably on the wrist. A stainless steel bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal complete the case, while a transparent case back allows an unobstructed view of the movement from the reverse. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters (3 ATM).
Rather than a solid dial, the RM 35-02 opts for a fully skeletonized configuration with no applied numerals, leaving the internal mechanical structure exposed. The automatic winding movement is visible through the openworked layout, drawing attention to the technical construction at the heart of the watch. This orientation toward mechanical transparency over decorative finishing is a defining characteristic of this reference.
The watch is worn on a black rubber strap secured by a stainless steel double-fold clasp, contributing to a lightweight and secure fit on the wrist. This combination of stainless steel case, skeleton dial, and rubber strap represents a clean, wearability-driven expression of the RM 35-02 lineup.
