Spaniard Rafael Nadal is about to tie Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles if he can defeat Novak Djokovic in the French Open final on Sunday – he is the betting favorite. Nadal didn’t drop a sentence in his first six games at Roland Garros, all of which he played with a Richard Mille watch on his wrist that retails for $ 1.05 million. Nadal is the rare professional who starts with a watch.
Richard Mille released the RM 27-04 clock last month to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his partnership with the tennis star. Weighing barely 30 grams or an ounce, including the bracelet, the watch is considered to be the lightest tourbillion in the world. Nadal says his Richard Mille watch is like a “second skin” for him.

Nadal’s opponent in the final, Djokovic, is linked to Seiko, although like most players he waits until after the games to get his watch. Seiko’s Novak Djokovic Astron GPS Solar costs around $ 3,000, with 1,500 limited edition pieces made.
