Catalogue Essay
First released in 2014, the RM055 Bubba Watson was the result of the collaboration between Richard Mille and long-time friend, ambassador, and 12-time PGA American champion golfer, Bubba Watson. With a quest to create the best wristwatch to be worn for golf, the aim was to design a wristwatch able to withstand vibration whilst maintaining its precision timekeeping.
Cased in white ceramic with a rubber-coated grade 5 titanium caseband within the firm’s most iconic tonneau-shape, it displays a fully skeletonized dial showcasing the firm’s innovative cal. RMUL2. Extremely well-executed, the movement weighs an impressively light 4.3 grams. It is cleverly secured by four shock absorbers that create a link between the external framework and the movement itself, therefore protecting the movement against all vibrations.
Presented in excellent overall condition and complete with its original accessories including a desirable new-style Richard Mille vented rubber strap, this RM 055 is a highly sought-after collector’s piece, embodying cutting-edge performance and modern design—a perfect fusion of technical mastery and contemporary aesthetics.
