Finished in white ATZ ceramic, this Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson super clone flips the stealth aesthetic of the black version into something far more visible and contemporary. The reference RM 055 — the model Richard Mille named for golfer Bubba Watson — keeps every mechanical and structural detail of the skeleton tonneau platform while wrapping it in a case material that catches light from every direction. The contrast between white case walls and the dark skeletonised bridges makes the movement layout more legible than on darker case variants, and the central seconds hand with its red tip sweeps across the open dial.

White ATZ Ceramic: Scratch-Resistance and the Monochrome Look

The angle here is simple: white ATZ ceramic gives you the scratch resistance of a technical case with a clean monochrome finish you can actually read. ATZ (alumina-toughened zirconia) carries a Vickers hardness many times that of stainless steel, so the bezel and case flanks shrug off the hairline scratches that dull a metal watch within months. White ceramic never yellows and stays cool to the touch; the only trade-off against black is that it shows fingerprints a little more readily. Under direct light the surface takes on a faint translucency at the thinner edges, which is part of why the white colourway reads as modern rather than sporty.

Clone Cal. RMUL2 and the Central Seconds Hand

Inside sits the clone Cal. RMUL2, a manual-winding skeleton movement with a double mainspring barrel built on a grade-5 titanium baseplate. Unlike the hours-and-minutes-only RM 67-02, the RM 055 shows hours, minutes and a central seconds hand — the red-tipped sweep is the quickest way to recognise this reference on the wrist. The clone runs at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and carries a 48-hour power reserve; the genuine RMUL2 is rated at roughly 55 hours, so we disclose the gap rather than overstate it. Hand-winding the double barrel each morning is part of the ritual with this manual-winding skeleton.

Skeleton Tonneau Architecture Through a White Case

The tonneau case measures roughly 42.7 mm x 49.9 mm and frames a fully skeletonised dial with a black inner ring. Because the baseplate is cut from titanium and the case from ceramic, this skeleton tonneau watch stays genuinely light for its size. Dark-toned bridges stand out sharply against the white bezel, so you can trace the double barrels and the going train at a glance — far harder to do on a dark-cased ceramic skeleton watch. Sapphire crystals front and back keep both sides of the architecture on show, and water resistance is rated to 50 m.

Lightweight on the Wrist

At well under 60 grams on its white rubber strap, the RM 055 is one of the lightest mechanical watches you can wear, and the ceramic case stays cool against the skin. A white watch is a deliberate style choice that works best against darker clothing or a tan; paired with the clean rubber strap the whole package reads intentional rather than technical. It is the most visually forward option in the 055 range for anyone who treats the watch as the centrepiece of an outfit.

RM 055 White Ceramic vs the Rest of the Range

If you prefer the stealth look, the RM 055 Black Ceramic super clone runs the identical movement in a darker shell, while the RM 055 Sapphire super clone swaps opacity for a transparent case at the top of the collection. You can line all of them up in the replica RM 055 Bubba Watson range or browse the wider Richard Mille super clone catalogue. Golf fans cross-shopping tennis editions often compare it with the RM 35-02 Nadal super clone, and our best Richard Mille super clones guide ranks where each one lands on build quality and value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the RM 055 White Ceramic super clone cost?

This RM 055 Bubba Watson white ceramic super clone is priced at $879, which puts a titanium-and-ceramic skeleton tonneau far below the cheapest genuine Richard Mille. For that money you get the clone Cal. RMUL2 manual movement, a working central seconds hand and a real ATZ ceramic case rather than coated metal, which is why buyers rate it good value.

How can you spot a fake RM 055 White Ceramic?

The surest tell is the movement: a genuine RM 055 uses the RMUL2 with a ~55-hour reserve, while this super clone runs a 48-hour clone calibre, which is exactly why we disclose the figure. Side by side the white ATZ ceramic case, skeleton dial and red-tipped central seconds track the original closely, but the power reserve and the finishing of the bridges are where the two separate.

What’s the difference between the white and black ceramic RM 055?

Both share the same clone Cal. RMUL2 and tonneau case, but the white version uses white ATZ ceramic for a high-contrast, legible skeleton look while the black ceramic sibling keeps the original stealth aesthetic. Scratch resistance is effectively identical, so the choice between them is purely visual.

Does the RM 055 White Ceramic have a running seconds hand?

Yes — unlike the RM 67-02, the RM 055 displays hours, minutes and a central seconds hand with a red tip. It is driven by the manual-winding clone Cal. RMUL2 with a double barrel and a 48-hour power reserve.
