Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson White Legend Skeleton Dial Americas Edition Replica Watch

The Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson White Legend (Americas Edition) Replica Watch is a faithful super-clone of the original RM 055, crafted by China’s top APS factory. It features the same 42.7×50.0 mm carbon NTPT® case and skeletonized dial as the genuine model. The bold black-and-white design – a high-contrast “White Legend” aesthetic – honors golf champion Bubba Watson. With a Swiss-made RMUL2 clone movement and a 55-hour power reserve, plus a white rubber strap, this replica matches the original’s functionality. Design, materials and complications are all reproduced to be 5indistinguishable from the authentic Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson (White Legend)

RM 055 White Legend Materials and Movement

• Case & Bezel: The case is built from multi-layer carbon NTPT® (a high-tech carbon composite) measuring 42.7 × 50.0 mm. Like the genuine RM 055, it has a matching carbon NTPT® bezel and crown. Carbon NTPT® is extremely light and durable, giving the watch a sporty look with visible dark-gray weave.
• Strap & Hardware: A white rubber strap (orignal color for the Americas edition) secures the watch; it’s soft yet strong for comfort. The folding clasp and screws are finished to replicate the light titanium appearance of the real RM 055.
• Crystal & Water Resistance: The watch features a double sapphire crystal (1.50 mm front, ~1.20 mm back) with anti-reflective coating. The assembled case is water-resistant to 30 meters, so it can handle splashes or rain (though, as with any skeleton watch, we recommend avoiding immersion).
• Movement – Swiss RMUL2 Clone: Inside is a hand-wound RMUL2 replica movement – the same engine used in the genuine RM 055 Bubba Watson. This skeletonized movement runs at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and provides ~50–55 hours of power reserve. It features a variable-inertia balance and twin mainspring barrels for stable torque. In fact, the RMUL2 caliber is designed to endure over 500 g of shock – ideal for the high-impact world of sports watches. Our clone’s movement is made with Swiss parts and precise finishing so that it looks like the real RMUL2 (including decorative PVD-coated titanium bridges) and keeps accurate time.

Design & Features

The skeleton transparent dial showcases the movement’s intricacy. A black carbon-fiber flange (inner track) holds the hour markers, which are filled with bright luminescent material for night visibility. The contrasting white strap and carbon case create the “White Legend” theme – a bold look developed exclusively for the North and South American markets. The oversized tonneau-shaped case, exposed screws, and open-work movement give a highly technical, sporty appearance that matches Bubba Watson’s adventurous style. All design cues (case shape, exposed bezel screws, skeleton dial layout) are 1:1 with the genuine RM 055 Bubba Watson

Craftsmanship Details

• Skeleton Movement Work: The baseplate and bridges are grade-5 titanium, decorated with PVD coating (black) and fine graining, just like the original. Every wheel and screw is finished with polishing and chamfering. This meticulous finishing not only looks high-end, but also maintains the precise function of the gears. The movement plating and components are tested for durability, ensuring the replica’s gears mesh smoothly under stress.
• Carbon Case Fabrication: The carbon NTPT® layers are precision-machined. The bezel and case middle are milled from billets of carbon fiber, then polished or brushed to match the satin finish of the original. NTPT® carbon’s dark, striated pattern gives a unique look; no two cases are identical. The construction mirrors the genuine watch’s rigidity — the carbon composite plus titanium core yields a light yet very sturdy case.
• Comfort & Durability: A soft protective rubber covers the titanium caseband and back, as on the original model. This injected elastomer improves impact absorption and comfort. Together with the lightweight carbon case, the injected rubber makes the watch feel comfortable for all-day wear. According to Richard Mille, this combination of hard titanium and soft rubber creates an exceptionally comfortable fit. The materials are highly scratch-resistant (the NTPT® carbon bezel and sapphire crystal rank around 1400 Vickers hardness, similar to ceramic).

FAQ

Is the movement on this replica an “old” or “new” version?
This replica uses APS’s latest RMUL2 movement copy – a high-grade “super clone” movement. In other words, it uses a Swiss-made, skeletonized movement that is over 95% identical to the real Richard Mille RMUL2. Enthusiasts note that older RM replicas used a generic Japanese NH05A modified to look manual-wind, but the current APS version in this model looks like the genuine RM movement. The visible gear train, balance, and finishing emulate the authentic Richard Mille style, so only an expert could distinguish it. Performance-wise, it offers the same ~50–55 h reserve as the original.

Can I wear this watch in water or while playing sports?
The genuine RM 055 is water-resistant to 30 m, meaning it can withstand splashes and rain. We replicate this spec, but caution is advised: like all skeleton watches, avoid immersing it. Humidity or soap could degrade the seals over time. Importantly, don’t wear it while showering or swimming. On the positive side, the RMUL2 movement is engineered to withstand shocks up to 500 g, reflecting Bubba’s powerful golf swings. So it’s fine for vigorous sports on dry land (golf, running, etc.), but water exposure should be minimal.

How is the build quality compared to an authentic RM 055?
We partner with APS Factory, known for top-tier replicas. The carbon NTPT® case, white rubber strap, and dial elements on this model are crafted to match the genuine specs. Every bezel screw, crown detail, and skeleton bridge is reproduced faithfully. For example, the carbon pattern and finishing on the bezel behave exactly like the original NTPT®, and the genuine RM’s platinum-coated dots on the flange are mimicked with quality lume. Even small details – like the grade-5 titanium screws in the case – are implemented. In practice, wearers find the clone nearly indistinguishable: one enthusiast notes such high precision that only “OCD-level” inspection reveals minor differences.

What do reviewers say about owning this replica RM 055?
Replica-watch communities highlight the value of this model’s appearance. Buyers love the “cool” skeleton design and the White Legend colorway. Importantly, community feedback warns that older, cheaper clones use basic movements, so we emphasize our upgraded Swiss clone movement. A common tip is: if the price seems extremely low (e.g. <$400), it might be an outdated version. Our offering is a premium clone, so it looks and feels far closer to the authentic RM 055 experience. In short, customers feel confident wearing it for its eye-catching design and mechanical thrills, knowing it matches the real Bubba Watson edition in look and feel.

Why is this called the “Americas Edition” or “White Legend”?
The RM 055 Bubba Watson White Legend is a limited version created for North and South America. Its white rubber and black carbon contrast celebrate Bubba Watson’s unique style. “White Legend” refers to the white-and-black color scheme on this US-exclusive run. For buyers worldwide (Europe, Asia, etc.), this replica lets you wear that exclusive American edition. We note this edition was limited in production, so owning a clone is the easiest way to experience its rarity and bold looks – now available globally through our store.
