The Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson in Carbon Rose Gold wraps a skeletonised tonneau movement in black NTPT carbon, then warms the whole piece with a rose-gold flange and matching gold hands — the dressiest reading of the RM 055 super clone. This replica rm 055 keeps the layered carbon weave across the bezel and caseback, a surface that shifts between matte grey and glossy black as the light moves, while the gold tones lift it clear of the all-industrial look its siblings wear. Named for golfer Bubba Watson, the rm-055 was built to survive a full swing, and this clone carries that lightweight, skeleton-tonneau character over to the wrist.

The Dressiest RM 055: Carbon Warmed by Rose Gold

Most RM 055 variants stay monochrome — black ceramic, white ceramic, raw carbon. The Carbon Rose Gold breaks that habit: the flange ring and the hour, minute and seconds hands are finished in rose gold, so warm reflections sit against the cold black NTPT weave. The central seconds hand is tipped in red, a small signal that separates this reference from the RM 67-02, which drops seconds entirely. If you want a Bubba Watson watch replica that reads a touch more formal without losing the sports-skeleton DNA, this is the one in the rm 55 range that does it.

NTPT Carbon Case and Skeleton Tonneau

At 42.7 x 49.94 mm the tonneau silhouette is consistent with the rest of the 055 family, but the full NTPT finish gives it a visual density that brushed titanium or ceramic versions cannot match. NTPT carbon is built by layering thin sheets of carbon filament at alternating 45-degree angles, then fusing them under heat and pressure; the result is a material lighter than titanium yet stiffer than steel, with a wood-grain pattern unique to each individual case. Over a skeletonised grade-5 titanium baseplate the whole watch stays feather-light, which is why the RM 055 ranks among one of the lightest mechanical watches to wear — a genuine lightweight carbon watch rather than a heavy dress piece pretending to be sporty.

Inside the Clone Cal. RMUL2

The movement is a clone Cal. RMUL2, manual winding with a double barrel, and it corrects the most common mistake made about this model: the RM 055 is NOT automatic. You wind it by hand, and in return the double mainspring stack delivers a stated 48-hour power reserve on the clone (genuine RMUL2: ~55 hours). It runs at 28,800 vph and drives a central hours, minutes and seconds display — a true manual-winding skeleton, with the gear train and balance visible through the sapphire caseback. Keeping the layout to time only, with no date, is consistent with the Richard Mille RM-055 philosophy of stripping away everything non-essential.

How the Carbon Rose Gold Compares

Within the RM 055 replica collection the choice usually comes down to case material and strap. The closest relative is the RM 055 Carbon Red Strap super clone, which shares this exact NTPT case but swaps the rubber for a red band, while the crystal-clear RM 055 Sapphire super clone goes the opposite way for buyers who want transparency over carbon texture. Cross-shopping outside the collection, the RM 35-02 Nadal super clone is the automatic tennis counterpart to this manual golf watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the RM 055 Carbon Rose Gold super clone cost?

This Carbon Rose Gold RM 055 is priced at $879, which puts a skeleton-tonneau watch with a manual clone Cal. RMUL2 far below any genuine Richard Mille and makes it one of the cheapest Richard Mille entry points that still runs a double-barrel movement. For the material and finishing on offer, the 055 is strong value next to ceramic variants in the same price band.

How can you spot a fake RM 055 Carbon Rose Gold?

The quickest tell on a fake Richard Mille RM 055 is the seconds hand: the real layout shows a central seconds hand with a red tip, so any piece missing it — or borrowing the RM 67-02’s no-seconds dial — is wrong. On this super clone, also check that the rose-gold flange sits flush to the NTPT carbon and that the hands match the flange tone exactly.

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

The RM 055 is a manual-winding, hours-minutes-seconds skeleton tonneau named for golfer Bubba Watson, whereas the RM 35-02 is an automatic built around Rafael Nadal. In the rm 055 vs rm 35-02 decision it comes down to winding habit and sport association — hand-wound golf watch versus self-winding tennis watch.

Does the RM 055 Carbon Rose Gold have a running seconds hand?

Yes — unlike the RM 67-02, the RM 055 shows a central seconds hand with a red tip alongside hours and minutes, all driven by the manual clone Cal. RMUL2 and its double barrel. It is a genuine three-hand skeleton, not a two-hand time-only dial.
