NEWF Edition — Imported Natural Rubber Strap
The NEWF iteration of the Richard Mille RM 035 is an ambitious technical exercise in alternative case materials. Rather than standard carbon or titanium, this factory has engineered a full green crystal glass case, boasting a hardness rating of 7 Mohs. Forum consensus highlights NEWF’s precise CNC machining, which allows the upper and lower crystal shells to mate with the lateral flanks without visible gaps—a notoriously difficult manufacturing tolerance to achieve in synthetic sapphire and glass composites.
At the core of this reference is a custom manual-wind tourbillon clone movement, featuring an integrated architecture rather than a simple decorative plate. Each caliber is engraved with an independent serial code, mimicking the genuine production sequence. While the tourbillon cage provides the correct visual animation and acts as the true escapement, the power reserve is strictly standard for this tier of clone mechanics, yielding approximately 36 hours of continuous operation on a full wind.
The dial flange is constructed from black carbon fiber treated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, providing sharp contrast against the transparent case and the subtle dark green dial accents. Grade 5 titanium alloy spline screws secure the structural assembly, ensuring proper torque distribution across the brittle crystal material without causing micro-fractures.

This piece is designed for the collector seeking avant-garde materials and a functional tourbillon complication. Given the brittle nature of the crystal case, it is best suited for controlled environments rather than high-impact daily wear.
