Richard Mille has decided to support the work of his friend and partner Bubba Watson. a member of the “RM Family” since 2011, the american golfer initiated the “Bubba & Friends drive to a Million” objective.
From the beginning of 2012, he has encouraged his fans, friends and partners to get involved in their local charities. setting an example through his website he aims to raise $1 million to support the various charities that are close to his heart. Bubba Watson will himself donate a substantial amount at the end of the year and through the year he has auctioned several of his own possessions on eBay.

- Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 038 Bubba Watson Victory Watch
The considerable sum of $790,470 has already been raised, but there is still a way to go if the desired and necessary amount is to be achieved. this is why Richard Mille chose to lend his support, touched by Bubba’s initiative and by the energy with which he defends such worthwhile causes. to do this, he decided to create the tourbillon RM 038 Bubba Watson victory Watch - such an apt name! – released in a limited edition of four timepieces. 10% of the proceeds of these watches will go to the “Bubba & Friends drive to a Million”, while the fourth will be worn by Bubba Watson as a reminder of his magnificent victory in augusta last april. this golf tournament, one of the most prestigious in the world, catapulted Bubba to the highest step on the podium and secured him the first major title of his career.
As in all his other tournaments since becoming a Richard Mille partner, Bubba wore his RM 038 wristwatch during the competition. this ultra-technical, exceptionally high-performance watch is capable of withstanding extreme golfing conditions thanks to three major specifications: it is lightweight, shock-resistant and extremely comfortable. in subtle reference to Bubba’s triumph, the four RM 038 Bubba Watson victory Watches are embellished with a green flange and each is engraved on the rear sapphire glass with Bubba’s signature.
