Replica Richard Mille RM055 Bubba Watson — White Ceramic Skeleton Edition
ZF Factory 1:1 Super Clone
The ZF Factory RM055 Bubba Watson White Ceramic Skeleton is an evolution of performance and precision. Originally developed for PGA champion Bubba Watson, this timepiece captures the fusion of sports engineering and haute horlogerie — every gram and contour designed for endurance, speed, and resilience.
The case is crafted from ATZ white ceramic, renowned for its high scratch resistance and pure matte texture. Beneath the surface, the skeletonized movement floats within a titanium inner case — fully visible through the sapphire crystal — revealing the same “air-suspended” construction that defines the genuine RM055. The bridges and gear train have been recreated with meticulous depth, providing a dynamic, three-dimensional view into the movement’s mechanics.
ZF Factory’s refinement of this model is particularly evident in the blue inner bezel, which contrasts cleanly against the white case and enhances the visibility of every component. The manual-wind skeleton caliber offers crisp winding feedback, smooth rotation, and visible spring tension — proof of mechanical authenticity rather than aesthetic mimicry.
The white FKM rubber strap and matching crown insert complete the design — light, comfortable, and immediately recognizable as a Richard Mille sports icon.

Collector’s Perspective
The RM055 Bubba Watson is widely regarded as the purest sports Richard Mille — minimalist yet powerful. ZF’s 1:1 version preserves the very traits collectors value most: featherweight comfort, dimensional skeleton architecture, and a tactile, athletic presence on the wrist.
Every detail — from the depth of the sapphire crystal to the curvature of the lug profile — feels engineered rather than replicated. The matte white ceramic plays beautifully under soft light, emphasizing contrast between case and movement, just as in the genuine model.
For collectors, the ZF RM055 offers more than visual accuracy — it delivers the authentic feel of precision and performance, distilled from one of the most recognizable modern watch designs in the world.
