Bubba Watson drives innovation
Richard Mille is known for testing watches under real conditions such as race tracks and tennis courts. American golfer Bubba Watson has proven to be the perfect partner for this Swiss brand, known for being one of the longest riders on the PGA Tour. Left-handed multiple championships are not typical golf championships.RICHARD MILLE RM 50-01 G-Sensor Lotus F1 Team Romain Grosjean
His numerous titles include two Masters titles in Augusta in 2012 and 2014. He was born in Florida, taught himself to play golf, and played wiffball near his home. In such a technical sport, this is an amazing feat. He stands out for his eccentric personality in a sport that is mainly regarded as conservative.
Watson is known for his incredible shooting, mammoth drive and his pink shaft drive. His kick-off distance exceeds 320m, and his ball speed is as high as 312km/h. He has won the first place in kick-off distance statistics five times in his career.
He became a partner of Richard Mille in 2011. He wears a watch while playing, which is an ideal scene for luxury watchmakers. They want to design and manufacture an innovative tourbillon watch to work under the specific conditions of golf, with three main goals: lightness, shock resistance and comfort.
Since then, a variety of models have been manufactured specifically for Watson,men watches cheap RM038 Tourbillon, RM038-01 Tourbillon G-Sensor and RM055. This is a thriving partnership, and when discussing it earlier, Watson said:
"Richard likes what makes me different: my upbringing experience and background, the fact that I have taught myself...becoming a powerful left-handed hitter."
RM038-Tourbillon Bubba Watson
The RM038 movement released in 2011 was a manual winding tourbillon with hour and minute movement, limited to 38 pieces. Its bottom plate, bridges and balance bridge are made of grade 5 titanium, with a total of 19 gems. This gives the components high rigidity and precise surface flatness, which is essential for the perfect operation of the gear train. They have undergone individual and extensive verification tests to ensure that they meet the best strength requirements.
The movement has an ideal power reserve/performance and regularity ratio. Its design ensures excellent torque transmission and a significant improvement in performance. The RM038 case is made of the extremely strong lightweight magnesium alloy WE 54. It is one of the lightest metals used in construction and has excellent performance retention at high temperatures.watches online shop
The alloy undergoes an electric plasma oxidation process called Miarox® to produce a crystalline oxide ceramic with excellent electrical resistance. This improves the durability and scratch resistance of the alloy as well as its wear and corrosion characteristics. This treatment of magnesium WE 54 can be used in aerospace, automotive industry and medical fields.
The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters.
RM038-01-Manual winding tourbillon gravity sensor Bubba Watson
"Bubba Watson is a somewhat atypical athlete and one of the greatest golfers in the world. His motivation is one of the strongest on the international circuit. Therefore, Bubba is an ideal for highlighting the performance of g-sensor Candidate, this is a lot of strength in the game."-Richard Miller.
The RM038-01 tourbillon was developed for Watson and has additional features to supplement his strong motivation on the court. It is limited to 50 pieces. This timepiece combines a patented gravity sensor with a tourbillon mechanism to provide golfers with new insights during the game.
The movement is a technological marvel, with its highly hollow asymmetric fly bridge and a base plate made of grade 5 titanium. Material and surface treatment ensure the rigidity, flatness and resistance of all moving parts. The hollow soleplate and bridge have undergone individual and extensive verification tests to ensure that they meet stringent strength requirements.
The patented Richard Mille mechanical gravity sensor contains more than 50 moving parts within a range of only 17 mm, allowing users to see the cumulative movement of their swing in g. The sensor is located below 12 o'clock and can record the force generated by the golfer's swing, especially in the last segment.replica AUDEMARS PIGUET CODE 11.59 Watches
RM038-01 can record accelerations of up to 20 g, which is very important for golfers such as Bubba Watson, who is known for hitting the ball at a speed of more than 310 km/h. In addition, the mechanism ensures higher reliability when subjected to shocks and during assembly or disassembly of the movement, providing better timing results over time.
The case can choose green ceramic or quartz TPT®. The green ceramic shell is made of low-density material, which has a high degree of scratch resistance and low thermal conductivity. Diamond tools are needed to create complex forms of borders. The case is made of grade 5 titanium with a white protective rubber case.
The Quartz TPT® housing is composed of hundreds of layers of quartz filaments. It is heated to 120 °C in an autoclave similar to that used to manufacture aerospace components and is ready to be processed at Richard Mille's factory. The strap is made of grade 5 titanium with a white protective rubber case.
The waterproof depth of both versions is 50 meters and is ensured by two nitrile rubber O-ring seals. It is assembled using 20 grade 5 titanium spline screws and 316L stainless steel wear-resistant washers. replica Franck Muller watches
