Introducing the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, ROGER DUBUIS 0

Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini write another page in their partnership with the launch of the new Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato MB, a limited edition of 28 mechanical pieces designed in hyper-tech materials.

On the outside, the new Excalibur, inspired by the design of the Lamborghini Huracán’s monocoque chassis and body panels, is fitted with a 45mm diameter case made of hyper-tech materials characterized by their lightness and resistance, such as SMC Carbon, a composite nine lighter than gold. While the black DLC titanium bezel features six Arabic minute markers that evoke Sterrato’s inimitable fender protectors. The Excalibur Spider Huracán’s distinctive crown also reflects a racing-inspired design.

At its heart lies the Caliber RD630 which can be seen operating in its magnitude through the semi-skeletalized dial, whose design was conceived specifically to reflect the hexagonal air intakes of Lamborghini Squadra Corse racing cars, as well as the symmetry of the twin barrels, which offer up to 60 hours of power reserve and evoke the multi-fuel tanks of these supercars. The balance wheel at 12 o’clock comes with a 12º inclination in order to reach the maximum performance, tries to reflect the counter-rotation of the Sterrato, and is counter-balanced by the date window at 6 o’clock. Last but not least, the two clear lines that extend from 12 to 7 o’clock and from 12 to 5 o’clock are also highlighted, reminiscent of the well-defined lines of Sterrato’s roof rack.

The open case back exposes the 360° oscillating mass that tries to reproduce the speed effect of a Huracán wheel rim.

The details in hues of electrifying orange, audacious red and burgundy are present throughout the watch, extending from the case to the dial and consolidating in the rubber strap that features a camouflage pattern on the outside, and a Pirelli Super Trophy R tire pattern on the inside. The strap also comes with Quick Release System (QRS) and a black DLC titanium clasp.

The Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato MB is already available in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers, and can be purchased for €75,000.

Roger Dubuis Presents Black Ceramics

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, ROGER DUBUIS 0

Hyper expressive, hyper mechanical and hyper-technical are the words chosen by Roger Dubuis to mark the turn of the Swiss brand towards ceramic material, and if the date does not mark its baptism in this field, the option for the black ceramic material is a complete debut and to mark this milestone, Roger Dubuis launches two new watches, the Excalibur Double Tourbillon and the Excalibur Monobalancier.

With the ceramic material being four times harder than stainless steel, both watches are designed to withstand and be used in any situation. Unlike many other brands that already use ceramic material in their watches, Roger Dubuis is proud to distinguish itself from others by its design process, choosing to mould the raw ceramic to its own shapes and not the other way around, that is, the ceramic case is designed to fit the material, thus taking ten times longer than any other of its parts.

It all starts with a mixture of a blend of powders made of Zirconia combined with 3% stabilizing Yttrium, which results in its hyper-resistant hardness, then through highly specialized technicians these powders are transformed into a blank, then passed through the machining process, six times lengthier than the standard, and finally through a sintering and heating process which results in black ceramic with an immutable and highly scratch-resistant finish.

Excalibur Double Tourbillon Black Ceramic

So the new Excalibur Double Tourbillon is an improved evolution of its predecessor from 2021, which comes in a 45mm diameter case, with a skeletonized dial, inside it is powered by the RD108 transparent calibre, whose two tourbillons guarantee remarkable precision and guarantee up to 72 hours of power reserve. The watch is offered with a black calf leather strap that comes with the Quick Release System, priced at €278,000 and limited to 28 pieces worldwide.

Excalibur Monobalancer Black Ceramic

After Roger Dubuis presented an improved version of the Excalibur Monobalancier in March during WatchesAndWonders, now comes with a black ceramic variant, which is presented in a 42mm diameter case with a fluted bezel and sharp notches, skeletonized dial, through from which it is possible to observe several elements of its RD 72OSQ calibre such as the escapement wheel, the micro-rotor, the balance wheel, among others that offer a generous 72 hours of power reserve. Like the Excalibur Double Tourbillon, it is offered with a black calf-leather strap and can be purchased for €69,000.

One of the things I like most about the watch world alongside the friendly community is the sense of solidarity the industry embraces, often on its own that makes us feel proud to belong to this tiny community. And so it is with pride that I am back here today to talk about a very interesting project the Pink Dial Project, which aims to fight breast cancer, a fatality that affects us all around the world, directly or indirectly by hand from family and friends.

The Pink Dial Project is a project created by Time+Tide, Fratello, Eye of Jewelry, Revolution, The Rake with Eric Ku, the project consists of raising funds for the research and treatment of breast cancer. Among several initiatives is the challenge for watch brands to design a watch of any of their models, which contain a pink dial or contain at least some pink elements, these watches will be auctioned in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month, through Loupe This and the total amount of money raised will be donated to selected breast charities, one in each of the following countries United States, Australia, Netherlands, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

There are 15 watch brands that have already confirmed their participation and they are BAMFORD, BVLGARI, BALTIC, CHOPARD, IWC, MAXIMILIAN B SSER, MONTBLANC, ORIS, PANERAI, PIAGET, RADO, ROGER DUBUIS, SINN, TAG HEUER, and ZENITH. However, other brands have also shown willingness to participate and, therefore, it is likely that in the coming weeks the number will increase.

Below are some of the models that are up for auction and we challenge everyone who can and wants to participate to do so for this noble cause.
