The Richard Mille RM 38-02 Tourbillon Bubba Watson watch is a striking new timepiece inspired by the world of golf. Collaboratively designed with professional golfer Bubba Watson, this distinctive model features a vibrant pink color that mirrors his favorite PING driver, bringing a refreshing and joyful aesthetic to its wearer.
The innovative watch case combines pink and white quartz TPT with carbon fiber for the bezel and case back, while the middle case uses both carbon fiber and pink quartz TPT. Each case boasts a unique interwoven pattern. The tonneau-shaped case offers a snug fit on the wrist, and the crown design cleverly imitates the texture of a golf ball, adding a playful touch to the overall design.
The open-worked dial allows a clear view of the movement’s operation, with skeletonized bridges forming a striking ‘V’ shape across the face. The pink hand-painted patterns echo the club head used by Bubba Watson. The tourbillon at the 6 o’clock position can withstand shocks up to 10,000 g’s, ensuring stability even during intense golfing swings.
Powered by the RM 38-02 manual winding movement, the watch operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 52 hours. The movement features a carbon fiber baseplate, renowned for its exceptional shock resistance, and grade 5 titanium bridges for added durability. Touches of pink also adorn the rear of the watch, demonstrating a seamless blend of function and style.
