LIMITED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 4 PIECES
Tourbillon RM 038 Bubba Watson Victory
Richard Mille supports "Bubba & Friends drive to a Million"
Richard Mille has decided to support the work of friend Bubba Watson.
The American golfer initiated the "Bubba & Friends drive to a Million" objective.
From the beginning of 2012, he has encouraged his fans, friends and partners to get involved in their local charities. Setting an example through his website he aims to raise $1 million to support the various charities that are close to his heart.
Bubba Watson will himself donate a substantial amount at the end of the year and through the year he has auctioned several of his own possessions on eBay.
Tourbillon RM 038 Bubba Watson Victory
The RM 038 contains a skeletonised, manually wound, tourbillon caliber.
The baseplate, bridges and balance cock are made of grade 5 titanium, giving the whole assembly great rigidity as well as exemplary surface flatness.
The fast rotating barrel enables periodic internal mainspring adhesion to be considerably reduced and its performance enhanced.
The case is crafted from an extremely robust and lightweight alloy called magnesium WE 54, which has undergone an electro-plasma oxidation treatment
called Miarox, thus improving the metal’s durability and, in consequence, its resistance.
