Product Overview

The BBR Factory Richard Mille RM 35-01 combines a factory-stated 42mm case with a white carbon-fibre exterior and a skeleton dial.

Central hour, minute and seconds hands provide a straightforward time display. Meanwhile, the open dial design reveals visible movement details and gives the watch a mechanical appearance.

A natural rubber strap complements the sporty styling. In addition, a titanium folding clasp secures the watch around the wrist.

Movement and Functions

The factory describes this version as using an RMUL3-style automatic mechanical movement. However, the winding system needs confirmation on the actual BBR watch.

This distinction matters because the genuine RMUL3 uses manual winding. Therefore, its name alone does not establish how this factory version winds or how its internal mechanism works.

Central Hour Hand

The shorter central hand displays the current hour.

Together with the minute hand, it provides the main time display.

Central Minute Hand

The longer central hand indicates the minutes.

Meanwhile, the skeleton dial provides a view of the visible mechanical components beneath the hands.

Central Seconds Hand

The central seconds hand displays normal running seconds. It continues moving while the movement operates.

Unlike a chronograph seconds hand, it does not require a separate timing function to start.

Case and Bezel

The factory lists a 42mm case and describes both the case and bezel as white carbon fibre. This pale exterior contrasts with the open mechanical dial.

However, the supplied information does not identify the precise fibre composition or manufacturing process. Therefore, this page does not claim genuine Carbon TPT® or Quartz TPT® construction.

The complete case dimensions also remain unspecified. The listed 42mm should serve as the factory’s size reference until a physical measurement confirms it.

Dial and Crystal

The skeleton dial gives the watch an open appearance and places the visible movement details at the centre of the design.

At the same time, central hours, minutes and seconds keep its listed functions simple.

A sapphire crystal covers the dial. In addition, its anti-reflective coating helps reduce glare under different lighting conditions.

Strap and Clasp

The natural rubber strap adds flexibility and complements the white case. The factory has not specified the strap colour, so actual product photos should confirm that detail.

A titanium folding clasp completes the strap assembly. Before wearing the watch, close the clasp fully and check that it holds securely.

Winding and Daily Use

Follow the operating instructions for the actual BBR movement. Because the winding system remains unconfirmed, do not assume wrist movement alone will keep this watch running.

When winding or setting the time, operate the crown gently. If you feel unusual resistance, stop and request guidance.

Water Resistance

The factory states 50 metres of water resistance. However, no independent pressure-test report confirms this rating for the individual watch.

Avoid swimming, showering and immersion until a professional test establishes its water resistance. Also, keep the crown secured and do not adjust it while the watch is wet.

Care Instructions
Clean the case with a soft microfibre cloth.
Avoid heavy impacts and abrasive cleaning products.
Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields.
Keep solvents and perfume away from the rubber strap.
Follow the confirmed winding procedure for the actual movement.
Check the folding clasp before wearing the watch.
Arrange an inspection if the watch stops unexpectedly or develops unusual noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the watch?

The factory lists 42mm. However, it has not supplied the complete case dimensions or identified the measurement axis.

Is the movement automatic or manual winding?

The factory describes this BBR version as automatic. Its actual winding system still requires confirmation, since the genuine RMUL3 is a manual-winding calibre.

What functions does this version offer?

The supplied specifications list central hours, minutes and running seconds.

Does it have a chronograph?

The factory specifications do not list a chronograph. The central seconds hand serves normal timekeeping.

What material does the case use?

The factory describes the case and bezel as white carbon fibre. The exact composite material and manufacturing method remain unverified.

Does the watch use sapphire crystal?

According to the supplied specifications, it uses sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating.

What type of clasp does it have?

The factory lists a titanium folding clasp paired with a natural rubber strap.

Will you inspect the watch before shipment?

Yes. Our team will inspect the movement, confirm the winding system and check the exterior and clasp after the watch arrives from the factory.

We will then provide two QC videos showing movement operation and the actual watch. Finally, we will confirm the model and delivery details before shipment.
