Richard Mille & Bubba Watson Collaborate On a Third Tourbillon In Watson’s Lucky Color
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami’s Strawberry Moon restaurant at David Grutman and Pharell’s hot spot, Goodtime Hotel, Richard Mille and professional golfer Bubba Watson reveal their latest creation: the Tourbillon RM 38-02 Bubba Watson. As the third tourbillon developed with Watson (and fourth timepiece overall), the new limited-edition watch pays tribute to Watson’s “lucky charm” color, pink.

“I have been pushing Richard for a pink watch for ten years, and here it is!” Bubba Watson said he saw the RM 38-02 Tourbillon for the first time. The timepiece was tailor-made for ultra performance as it is designed to withstand 10,000 G’s, which is an impressive watchmaking feat.

Inspired by the audacity of the previous calibres signed Bubba Watson, the RM 38-02 is built around a baseplate in Carbon TPT®, which comprises many layers of parallel carbon filaments. The asymmetrical case tapers between 2 and 5 o’clock and cancels out any friction with the torque-limiting crown on the wrist. The open-work bezel provides visual power and accentuates the sportiness of this timepiece, while the Carbon TPT® and pink Quartz TPT® caseband provides that fantastic contrast of genres that ultimately defines the identity of this colorful timepiece. This watch collaboration is a true hole in one.
