Golf has been always know to be a highly rewarding sport. However, this is especially the case for someone like Bubba Watson, who has won a total of 14 times in his professional career. And, for someone like the professional to boast, a luxurious watch collection does not seem out of place.

The golfer is not alone in these endeavors as many, including the likes of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Nelly Korda among others sport such watches on their wrists. Moreover, just like these professionals, Watson has also been long since associated and known for his partnership with a luxury brand, the Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille, the wristwear that has grabbed the attention of many in the community!

Although the 45-year-old is currently playing on LIV Golf, he has managed to rake in a lot of accolades, which consists of 12 wins on the PGA Tour, including 2 majors. Therefore, due to the golfer boasting massive influence in the sport, many heads turn in his direction whenever he sets out to play, especially his choice of watches. And, his wristwear at the 2012 Masters caught the eyes of many.

The 2X major champ agreed to partner with the brand in 2011 after which he has been spotted many times sporting its products on the greens. Moreover, during the 2012 event, the champ garnered significant attention with his Richard Mille 038 tourbillon, which was custom-made for him. The timepiece that was on full display was made of a magnesium alloy with a special tourbillion that was created to help a comfortable golf swing while sporting the same.

However, the RangeGoats GC skipper made the headlines owing to another one of his watches, a couple of months back after LIV Golf Jeddah. The pro shared a post of Tyson McGuffin wearing the luxury wristwear, which costs $356,429.78. Why is it special, you ask? Simple, because the timepiece that the pickleball athlete sported was the Richard Mille 055, a piece which, as per claims, only four people in the world own including the likes of Watson, Lil Baby, and the singer Drake.

However, if you think that the two iconic products are the only luxury items that the Swiss brand made for him, you’re sorely wrong! Since being a part of the watch family in 2011, a total of four models have been made specially for the athlete, including the famous RM 038 Tourbillon he wore for his first Masters win, the RM 38-01 G-Sensor Tourbillon, the RM 055 and the RM 38-02 Tourbillon, the last of which is a true work of art!

Bubba’s pink wristwear; the RM 38-02 Tourbillon

The exceptional product of design was something that the 45-year-old had been pushing Richard Mille for around ten years. Being the fourth and latest watch of Watson’s collection, only 50 of the timepieces have been manufactured, making it nothing short of a limited edition wristwear envied by many.

Nicknamed the “pink watch,” the RM 38-02 Tourbillion boasts a power reserve of around 70 hours, give or take 10%. Moreover, the baseplate of the luxury item is made from Carbon TPT, a material that is made of multiple layers of parallel carbon filaments and is known for its resistance to scratches and cracks. Adding on, an alloy of grade 5 titanium was used to make the bridges in the unique design in a bid to increase the watch’s shock resistance, all the while providing the athlete with a comfortable experience.
