This two-tone RM 055 pairs a black TZP ceramic case with a bright white rubber strap, making it the contrast sibling of the all-black configuration in the Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson line. Named for the left-handed golfer, the RM-055 (often typed rm 55, or simply 055) was Richard Mille’s first true everyday sports watch, and this black ceramic / white strap super clone reproduces that skeletonised tonneau look at a fraction of genuine money.

A Two-Tone RM 055 Bubba Watson: Black Ceramic with a White Strap

The whole point of this variant is the split palette. A matte black ceramic tonneau sits against a clean white band, so where the black-on-black edition reads stealthy and monochrome, this rm 055 reads sporty and high-contrast on the wrist. Fitted on a tonneau case, the white rubber conforms to wrist shape quickly, stays flexible across varying temperatures, and dries faster than leather after contact with water, which is why Richard Mille chose rubber for the Bubba Watson platform in the first place. As a bubba watson watch replica it keeps that athletic character while swapping the all-black uniform for something you actually notice across a room.

Black TZP Ceramic Case: Scratch-Resistant and Lightweight

The case is cut from black TZP ceramic, a zirconia-based ceramic that resists scratches far better than steel and holds its matte finish without fading. At 42.7 x 49.94 mm the case follows the standard RM 055 tonneau geometry that Richard Mille introduced as the brand’s sport-watch platform, and it is built over a skeletonised grade-5 titanium baseplate. That combination keeps this a genuinely lightweight mechanical watch, one of the lightest in its size class, so the ceramic skeleton watch sits far under what a steel-cased diver of similar dimensions would weigh. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, water resistance is rated to 50 m, and the titanium buckle at the strap end absorbs the daily stress of fastening and unfastening without adding noticeable weight.

Skeletonised Dial with a Red-Tipped Central Seconds Hand

The skeletonised dial shows a white inner ring framing an openworked movement, so you read the time over the mechanism itself in true skeleton-tonneau fashion. Importantly, this is where the RM 055 differs from the hours-and-minutes-only RM 67-02: the RM 055 does display running seconds. A central seconds hand with a red tip sweeps across the skeleton bridges, giving hours, minutes and central seconds without a date aperture. That means less dial clutter and a cleaner read, while the pop of red on the seconds hand ties neatly into the two-tone black-and-white theme.

Clone Cal. RMUL2: Manual Winding, Double Barrel

Inside sits the clone Cal. RMUL2, a manual-winding movement with a double barrel, beating at 28,800 vph. Because it is hand-wound rather than automatic, there is no rotor to obscure the view; the sapphire caseback instead reveals the balance wheel and twin barrels, adding a mechanical-viewing dimension to a manual winding skeleton that keeps its dial side relatively restrained. Power reserve on the clone runs 48 hours (genuine RMUL2: ~55 hours), which is honest dual disclosure rather than a padded number, and you wind it fully with a few turns of the crown each morning.

How the Black Ceramic / White Strap Compares in the RM 055 Range

Within the same replica RM 055 Bubba Watson range the closest relative is the RM 055 Black Ceramic Black Strap super clone, which keeps the identical case but swaps this white band for black, while the lighter-cased RM 055 White Ceramic super clone inverts the palette entirely. Buyers cross-shopping the whole collection can start from our best Richard Mille super clones guide or browse the wider Richard Mille super clone catalogue. If you want a sportier skeleton tonneau from a different icon, the RM 35-02 Nadal super clone is the natural rm 055 vs rm 35-02 comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This black ceramic RM 055 with the white rubber strap is listed at $879, which is why it is one of the cheapest Richard Mille entry points we have for sale while still using a real TZP ceramic case and a manual Cal. RMUL2. It delivers the skeleton-tonneau look and running seconds for a tiny fraction of a genuine RM 055.

How can you spot a fake RM 055 Black Ceramic White-Strap?

The honest tells on any RM 055 are the clone’s 48-hour power reserve versus roughly 55 hours on the genuine RMUL2, plus the hand-wound double-barrel movement visible through the caseback. A low-grade fake richard mille rm 055 usually botches the red-tipped central seconds hand and the crisp finish of the black TZP ceramic, both of which this super clone gets right.

What is the difference between this and the all-black RM 055?

This edition uses the same black ceramic case but fits a white rubber strap instead of a black one, turning a stealth all-black watch into a two-tone piece. Mechanically the two are identical, so the choice is purely between the discreet black strap and this high-contrast white one.

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

Yes, the RM 055 shows hours, minutes and a central seconds hand with a red tip, unlike the RM 67-02 which runs hours and minutes only. The sweeping seconds are a quick way to confirm the movement is alive on the skeletonised dial.
