About the Richard Mille RM 055

The Richard Mille RM 055 was developed through a collaboration between the Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille and professional golfer Bubba Watson.

The starting point was straightforward but technically demanding: to create a watch capable of withstanding the full swing of a professional golfer, which produces significant shock on the wrist, without adding weight that could interfere with performance on the course.

The result is a manual-winding watch with extremely low weight and proven mechanical durability. The RM 055 has become one of the most recognized references in Richard Mille’s sport collection, appreciated by both golf enthusiasts and watch collectors who value a technical approach to design.

History of the RM 055

The development of the RM 055 began from a real requirement on the golf course. Bubba Watson, known for his powerful and aggressive swing, needed a watch that he could wear during competition without concern.

Rather than being an accessory removed before tee-off, the watch was intended to function as an instrument designed for that environment.

From this point, the Richard Mille engineering team worked backward: defining the level of shock the watch would need to tolerate, then selecting materials and movement architecture capable of meeting that requirement.

This process resulted in the RM 055, which introduced a new benchmark for golf watches, a segment that had previously received limited technical attention within traditional horology.

Specifications and Key Features

The case of the RM 055 is typically made from Grade 5 titanium or technical ceramic. These materials are selected for their balance of light weight and structural strength.

In practice, this means the watch feels almost weightless on the wrist while remaining robust enough to handle repeated impacts and physical pressure.

The manual-winding movement is built with an aerodynamically inspired baseplate and bridges. Structurally, this architecture helps absorb and distribute shocks across the movement.

Its resistance to vibration has been tested to more than 5,000 g. While this figure may seem abstract, a full golf swing can generate forces within a similar range.

The skeletonized design that reveals the internal components is not simply an aesthetic choice. For Richard Mille, this transparency reflects confidence in the quality of the craftsmanship there is nothing intended to be hidden behind the dial.
