Roger Dubuis, who has been a guest of our pages by its amazing boutique that opened in our country recently, pushes the limits of Hyper Horology with the recently introduced Roger Dubuis Excalibur Monobalancier Titanium.
Inspired by the legend of King Arthur, the Genevan brand's Excalibur series has been decorating the brand's catalogs since 2005. The Monobalancier Titanium model, newly added to the Excalibur Collection, which emerged as a recreation of King Arthur's Round Table, impresses with its lightness as well as its strong visual appeal.
The new model comes with a 42mm diameter case. The front of the case, which is made of Grade 5 titanium alloy, has a classic Excalibur-style bezel made of the same material, with recesses on it. On both sides of the case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating are used. The sporty case also offers resistance to average water activities with its 100M water resistance.
The model is accompanied by a fully skeletonized dial. The dial, in which the time is displayed by thick hands and an inner scale with hour/minute indices, reveals all the beauty of the movement that brings the model to life.
At the heart of the new model is the Caliber RD720SQ, designed and produced by the brand itself. The automatic movement, powered by its micro-rotor, beats at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800vph) and offers up to 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The elegant movement, which was designed completely from scratch instead of skeletonizing an existing movement, carries the Poinçon de Genève certificate.
The stylish model is worn on the wrist with a multi-piece metal bracelet made of Grado 5 ultra-light titanium alloy. RD signed folding clip completes the bracelet, which stands out with its comfort as well as its durability.
List price set for the model is EUR 71,000.
