Đồng hồ Richard Mille Bubba Watson RM 055

REVISITING THE AESTHETICS OF GOLF

We had set our hearts on developing this watch, directly linked to the developments that led to our creation of the tourbillon model for Bubba Watson. The physical motions involved in this sport combine amplitude with precision, and the surprising sequence that contrasts moments of Zen-like preparation of concentration followed by the instantaneous shock of the shot, the long period of the ball’s trajectory and the subsequent walk to the next tee.

RM 055

The RM 055 Bubba Watson is inspired by the RM 038 Bubba Watson tourbillon watch presented in 2011. Its mechanical movement, crafted in grade 5 titanium displays extreme skeletonisation. The RM 055 is a highly technical creation that is innovative, sporty and hand-finished in the finest watchmaking tradition.

CALIBRE RMUL2

Manual winding skeletonised movement with hours, minutes and seconds.

POWER RESERVE

Circa 55 hours (± 10%).

BASEPLATE AND BRIDGES MADE OF GRADE 5 TITANIUM

This mechanical movement in grade 5 titanium displays extreme skeletonisation, with a PVD- and Titalyt® treated baseplate and bridges. This combination confers great rigidity on the whole assembly, as well as the precise surface flatness essential for perfect functioning of the gear train.

The skeletonised baseplate and bridges were subjected to intensive and complete validation tests to optimise their resistance capacities. The Calibre RMUL2 is thus capable of withstanding accelerations of over 5000 g’s.

FREE-SPRUNG BALANCE WITH VARIABLE INERTIA

The free-sprung balance offers better reliability in the event of shocks, movement assembly or disassembly, and also guarantees better chronometric results over time. The regulator index is eliminated, and a more accurate and repeatable calibration is possible thanks to 4 small, adjustable weights located directly on the balance.

DOUBLE-BARREL SYSTEM

The double-barrel system helps to improve the torque stability over a longer period. This is achieved by distributing the stored energy across two winding barrels instead of one, which increases the number of rotations and reduces pressure on the teeth, bearings and pivots, resulting in better long-term performance.

SPLINE SCREWS IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM FOR THE BRIDGES AND CASE

This permits better control of torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.
