The red rubber strap on this Richard Mille RM 055 replica immediately separates it from the darker, more restrained versions in the collection. Richard Mille has always used strap colour as a design variable across its tonneau references, and the contrast of vivid red against black NTPT carbon creates one of the more assertive combinations in the RM 055 Bubba Watson range. The case measures roughly 42.7 x 49.94mm and follows the same proportions that define the entire 055 series — the model named for golfer Bubba Watson, who wore it mid-swing to prove how light it is.

Marbled NTPT Carbon Case

The appeal of this rm 055 super clone starts with the case: black NTPT carbon, built from hundreds of layered carbon sheets cut at angle so the grain reads as a marbled, almost topographic pattern. Because the sheets are sliced individually, each rm-055 shell shows a slightly different swirl, so no two pieces look identical. It is a genuine lightweight carbon watch rather than a coated metal fake, and the skeleton tonneau silhouette stays faithful to the original. Collectors cross-shopping the RM 055 Carbon Rose Gold super clone get the same NTPT shell with a warmer dial accent instead of the sport red.

Manual-Winding Cal. RMUL2 With Central Seconds

Inside sits the clone Cal. RMUL2, a manual-winding skeleton movement with a double barrel and a skeletonised grade-5 titanium baseplate. Unlike the hour-and-minute-only RM 67-02, the RM 055 does show a central seconds hand — here finished with a red tip that echoes the strap — so you read hours, minutes and running seconds. The clone carries a 48-hour power reserve (the genuine RMUL2 is rated around 55 hours) and beats at 28,800 vph. This is manual winding in the truest sense: you crown-wind it each morning, and the open architecture lets you watch the barrels work.

The Sport Red Strap

Red strap variations in the RM catalogue draw from motorsport, where high-visibility accents serve both grip and branding. On this version the red rubber contrasts against the dark carbon bezel for a two-tone effect that reads sporty without being loud. The strap fades to a deeper burgundy under indoor light and snaps back to full intensity outdoors, giving the Carbon Red Strap edition a character that shifts with the room. A titanium buckle adds structural confidence at the clasp. For a cooler palette on the same case, the RM 055 Carbon Light Blue (Marina) super clone swaps the fire for marine blue.

On the Wrist: One of the Lightest Mechanical Watches

Despite the large footprint, the NTPT construction keeps mass minimal — this is one of the lightest mechanical watches in the catalogue, and on the wrist it almost disappears. The rubber conforms quickly to wrist shape and stays comfortable in heat where leather would struggle, with 50m water resistance and a sapphire crystal cut for an anti-reflective view of the manual-winding skeleton. This bubba watson watch replica gives collectors a way to bring colour into a lineup that usually defaults to black and grey.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the RM 055 Carbon Red super clone cost?

This Carbon Red Strap edition is priced at $879, among the cheapest Richard Mille entry points for a full NTPT carbon case with a manual Cal. RMUL2, making it strong value against the five-figure genuine piece.

How can you spot a fake RM 055 Carbon Red?

A weak fake Richard Mille RM 055 gives itself away on the carbon grain and the movement: coated metal cases lack the marbled NTPT swirl, and a quartz or plain automatic is wrong because the real reference uses a manual-winding skeleton with a double barrel and a red-tipped central seconds hand.

RM 055 Carbon Red or RM 35-02 Nadal — which should you pick?

In an rm 055 vs rm 35-02 comparison, the RM 055 is a manual-winding three-hander built for Bubba Watson’s golf swing, while the RM 35-02 is Rafael Nadal’s automatic piece; both are lightweight carbon tonneaus, but the 055 shows running seconds and is wound by hand.

Does the RM 055 clone show seconds?

Yes, unlike the seconds-free RM 67-02 the RM 055 has a central seconds hand with a red tip, so the manual-winding skeleton displays hours, minutes and running seconds.
