Introducing the RM 055 Bubba Watson, a timepiece born from a passion for precision and performance in the realm of sports, particularly golf. Inspired by the groundbreaking RM 038 Bubba Watson tourbillon watch unveiled in 2011, this watch embodies the fusion of technical innovation and sporting elegance.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the RM 055 boasts a mechanical movement encased in grade 5 titanium, renowned for its lightweight strength. The intricate skeletonization of the movement, combined with a PVD- and Titalyt® treated baseplate and bridges, ensures optimal rigidity and surface finish, critical for the smooth operation of the gear train. Designed to withstand the rigours of athletic endeavours, the RMUL2 calibre can endure accelerations exceeding 500 g’s, making it a reliable companion for the most demanding sportsmen.
At the heart of the movement lies a variable-inertia balance wheel, offering enhanced resilience against impacts and maintaining long-term accuracy. The elimination of the regulator index in favour of adjustable weights on the balance wheel allows for precise and consistent inertia adjustments, ensuring reliable timekeeping under any circumstances. The incorporation of a double barrel mechanism further enhances torque stability, dispersing energy evenly to minimize pressure and friction, thereby optimizing long-term performance.
The distinctive construction of the RM 055’s case reflects its athletic pedigree. The bezel, crafted from ATZ—a material renowned for its exceptional hardness and scratch resistance—is formed through a high-pressure injection process, guaranteeing unparalleled durability. Complemented by a grade 5 titanium middle and back bezel encased in protective white rubber, the watch is shielded from vibrations, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience.
Marrying technical prowess with athletic aesthetics, the RM 055 Bubba Watson stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence in both horology and sport. Whether on the course or off, this timepiece embodies the spirit of precision and performance, making it the ultimate companion for the modern athlete.
