American golfer Bubba Watson, partner for Richard Mille since 2010, stands out from the crowd with his unique physique, personality and self-taught skills in golf. After the success of the limited RM 038 Golfer’s Tourbillon released in 2010, Richard Mille has undertaken the development yet another specific tourbillon watch for Bubba Watson with added functionality to complement his powerful drives on the course.

The result is the RM 38-01 Bubba Watson, a timepiece that combines a patented G-Sensor with a tourbillon mechanism, thus providing new insights for golfers during their game.

The mechanical G-sensor, a Richard Mille world first containing more than 50 moving parts within a mere 17mm, allows the user to see the accumulated motion of their swing in G’s.

The RM 38-01 can record up to 20 G’s of acceleration, a very important insight for golfers such as Bubba Watson, renowned for his ability to hit a ball at more than 310 kilometers per hour.

The G-Sensor mechanism is integrated into the heart of a manual winding tourbillon movement with circa 48 hours of power reserve. The movement is a technological marvel with its highly skeletonised, asymmetrical flying bridges and plates machined from grade 5 titanium with PVD treatment.

On looking at the RM 38-01 Bubba Watson, one’s attention is immediately drawn to the unique green case – bubba’s favorite color - which upon closer examination again demonstrates the mastery and insight of Richard Mille in the revolutionary application of industrial materials for 21st century watchmaking.

Released in an edition of 50 pieces worldwide, the RM 38-01 G-Sensor Bubba Watson represents the perfect synthesis of Haute Horlogerie with 21st century innovation, comfort and usefulness for today’s golf enthusiasts worldwide.
