O golfista norte-americano Bubba Watson, 33 anos, embaixador Richard Mille, ganhou recentemente o Masters da Geórgia,, no Augusta National Golf Club.
No pulso, Bubba usa em todos os torneios um modelo que Richard Mille criou especialmente para si, o RM 038 Turbilhão. Seguindo a mesma filosofia que já tinha usado para relógios criados especialmente para
Na Baselworld deste ano, a Richard Mille apresentou um novo modelo, o RM 055, capaz de resistir a uma aceleração de 500 G. O RM 055 é semelhante ao RM 038 que Bubba Watson usa quando compete.
Da marca:
RM 038 Tourbillon
The RM 038 tourbillon is able to work in golf’s extreme conditions with 3 specifications: lightness, extreme shock resistance and comfort. The baseplate, bridges and balance cock are made of grade 5 titanium, this allows the whole assembly to be given great rigidity, as well as precise surface flatness. The fast rotating barrel provides significant decrease of periodic internal mainspring adhesion which increases performance. The RM 038 case is made of an extremely rugged and light alloy called magnesium WE 54, an alloy composed of 89% magnesium, 6% yttrium and 5% rare earths. After a long and delicate machining phase, this alloy is given a new electro-plasma oxidation treatment called Miarox®. This improves both the durability and scratch resistance of this alloy as well as its wear and corrosion properties.

Tonneau shape – numbered Limited Edition- available in Magnesium WE54 with Miarox® treatment.
Dimensions: 48 mm x 39.70 mm x 12.80 mm
New RM 055 Bubba Watson
Its mechanical movement in grade 5 titanium displays extreme skeletonization, with a PVD- and Titalyt® treated baseplate and bridges. This combination provides the whole structure with optimum rigidity and excellent surface flatness and finish, essential aspects for the perfect functioning of the gear train. The caliber RMUL2 is thus capable of withstanding accelerations of over 500-G’s. The ATZ bezel is made from tubes of aluminum oxide powder injected at a pressure of nearly 2,000 bars. This high-pressure injection increases rigidity by 20 to 30% and reduces the material’s porosity to an absolute minimum. ATZ is known for its high scratch-resistance (1,400 Vickers) and its unchangeable color. Next to diamond, it is one of the hardest materials in the world. Long and difficult machining using diamond tools is required to create a perfect example of this complex, curved bezel and satin finish. The case middle and back bezel are in grade 5 titanium with a protective white rubber casing. This rubber is injected at high pressure around the titanium components, thus insulating the movement from all vibrations. This special surface treatment also makes the watch very comfortable to wear.
