Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson Watch
Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson: The Pinnacle of Sports Horology
The Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson is a masterclass in ultra-lightweight architecture, designed to withstand the violent accelerations of a professional golf swing. Born from the collaboration with legendary golfer Bubba Watson, this timepiece features a striking white ATZ ceramic bezel, renowned for its incredible scratch resistance and unchangeable matte finish. The skeletonized design reveals the grade 5 titanium movement, which is suspended within the case to absorb shocks of over 500 Gs. It is an avant-garde “racing machine for the wrist” that balances high-impact durability with a ghostly, ethereal aesthetic.
Innovative Materials and Mechanical Transparency
Beyond its robust exterior, the RM 055 is a showcase of mechanical transparency and technical ingenuity. The manual-winding Calibre RMUL2 is a marvel of weight reduction, weighing a mere 4.3 grams while offering a 55-hour power reserve. Every bridge and baseplate is PVD-treated and Titalyt-coated to ensure optimum rigidity and perfect surface flatness. Encased in a rubberized grade 5 titanium caseband and paired with a high-comfort white rubber strap, this watch offers an ergonomic “second-skin” feel. For the serious collector, the RM 055 represents the ultimate intersection of elite sports performance and haute horlogerie.
