New Bubba Watson Watch in 2012: Richard Mille RM055

I am not a golfer, so I know Bubba Watson merely as a man who wears a big belt buckle on the links. He’s the one following Anthony Kim to put his name written on the buckle. Richard Mille seems to know him much better. Although he’s only #16 on Official World Golf Ranking today, the watch making company must have seen any marketable potential over him. Watson still holds the record of longest driver on PGA Tour (made in 2007) and he’s not that bad at all. BUBBA is exceeding other brand ambassador such as Audemars Piguet’s Graeme McDowell (ranked #17) and Anthony Kim (#120), Rolex’s Tiger Woods (#18), Omega’s Sergio Garcia (#21) and K. J. Choi (#23), also Piaget’s Miguel Ángel Jiménez (#51).

Even, RICHARD MILLE the premium watchmaker dedicates one of its three new series to Gerry “Bubba” Watson: the RM 055. The self-taught Floridian golfer will always sport the half million dollar watch when playing golf, same as Rafael Nadal when playing tennis; thanks to the variable-inertia balance wheel which ensures reliability in the events of impacts and the double-barrel mechanism which improve and equalize long-term torque stability.

In order to meet the requirements of sportsmen, the watch case (49.90 mm x 42.70 mm x 13.05 mm) includes the lightest yet most rigid material: a high-pressure-treated ATZ bezel! It’s one of the hardest materials in the world next to diamond, known for its high scratch-resistance (1,400 Vickers) and its unchangeable color. In addition, a white rubber casing which protects the grade 5 titanium case middle and back bezel, insulates the movement from all vibration. Acordingly, it makes the watch very comfortable to wear.
