Richard Mille releases limited Bubba Watson edition
The Swiss Jura brand Richard Mille unveils the RM 055 Bubba Watson Boutique Edition, limited to just 50 pieces and exclusively selling at select stores
As the newest member of the iconic RM 055 range, the RM 055 Bubba Watson Boutique Edition features an upper bezel created using shot-blasted titanium carbide. The elements of titanium and carbon alloy make up the Titanium Carbide (TiC), which has a hardness of 1450 Vickers. This hardness actually allows it to endure extreme circumstances thus ensuring excellent durability.
Meanwhile, the manual winding calibre RMUL2 in grade 5 titanium from Richard Mille’s collaboration with Bubba Watson, is one of the most powerful hitters on the PGA Tour, and is capable of withstanding accelerations of over 500-G’s. The eye-catching skeletonised dial, with a PVD- and Titalyt® treated baseplate and bridges, results in a timepiece that has optimum rigidity and excellent surface flatness and finish.
To produce a smooth ‘all-grey’ effect to the case, the watch goes through a manufacturing process whereby the grade 5 titanium case is shot-blasted with miniscule glass beads at a low pressure. On the caseback, the limited edition number is engraved at the 6 o’clock position.
Richard Mille releases the RM 055 Bubba Watson Boutique Edition in limited number of 50 pieces. It is only available at Richard Mille Boutiques in Geneva, Paris, London Mount Street, Harrods, Milan, Monaco, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and at the pop-up boutiques in Porto Cervo and the Polo Club Saint-Tropez.
