Quick TakeImagine a watch built to defy the laws of physics, where featherlight materials mask an unyielding core. That's the experience of the Richard Mille RM 038 Tourbillon Bubba Watson. Its airy magnesium WE 54 case, hardened with a ceramic coating, wouldn't look out of place in a spaceship, yet it shrugs off the immense G-forces of a champion golfer's swing. The exposed titanium heart of its movement pulses with precision, every gear and jewel honed for split-second accuracy. This is more than a timepiece; it's a declaration of high-performance worn on the wrist.

DescriptionThe Richard Mille RM 038 Tourbillon Bubba Watson is a remarkable feat of horological engineering designed specifically for the rigors of professional golf. Its core strength lies in the manual winding calibre RM038 movement. The essential components of this movement – the baseplate, bridges, and balance cock – are meticulously crafted from grade 5 titanium. This lightweight and highly resistant material ensures a strong yet comfortable presence on the wrist, crucial for golfers like Bubba Watson. Individual components undergo extensive testing to guarantee their ability to withstand the forces generated during a powerful swing.

To optimize performance, the RM038 employs several technical innovations. The watch incorporates a fast-rotating barrel, a design choice that significantly minimizes the periodic sticking of the mainspring. This translates to a smoother and more consistent release of power. Additionally, careful attention has been paid to the gear train, with the winding barrel teeth and third-wheel Pinion featuring a central involute profile. This specific design promotes excellent torque transmission while mitigating any potential variations within the gear train, further enhancing the watch's reliability and accuracy.
