Top 3 Excalibur watch designs by Roger Dubuis

While the majority of Roger Dubuis’ watches gravitate towards a more elegant and simple design, the company has their fair share of sporty watches amidst the collection of watches it has. The collection which includes more of the masculine, sporty designs of Roger Dubuis watches is the Excalibur collection. Listed below are the top three Excalibur Roger Dubuis watches.

1.    Aventador S




This gorgeous watch has a combination of black and yellow. The strap of the watch is made from a black rubber material with a bright yellow stitching detailing on the strap. the crown of the watch has a black centre while the base is yellow. As the name suggests, this watch is made in collaboration with Lamborghini and is a limited edition watch with just 88 pieces of it available. The dial of this watch is similar to a skeleton design dial. It has 3 watch hands, the second's hand is bright yellow while the minute and hour hands are greyish black with bright yellow luminescent detailing on the tip of the hands. This watch offers a 40-hour power reserve feature and 312 components were used to manufacture this watch.

2.    Quatuor chrome cobalt micro melt


This watch is one of the most futuristic Roger Dubuis watches which uses an RD101 Quartuor. The purpose of this mechanism is that the gravity adjustment mechanism which a regular tourbillon uses takes around at least 1 minute to come into effect. With the Quartuor feature in this watch, the 4 balances with springs within this watch nullify the effects of gravity on the watch mechanism instantly.

The best part about this watch is that Robert Dubuis is the only watchmaking company in the whole world which has been able to successfully implement such a complicated mechanism into its watches. Along with the mechanism of this watch, the design is equally futuristic. With a bright blue alligator skin leather strap with a denim design on it and red thread detailing, this watch will surely be turning heads in your direction. The watch case is made from a chrome-cobalt micro melt material and is a limited edition design of just 8 pieces.

The dial has a lot of details within it. The 3-hour, 6-hour, 9-hour and 12-hour marks have a silver design on a background of bright blue while the outline of the dial is a bright red colour. The watch dial is an open design, in the sense that the inside mechanism is visible from everywhere except the centre. This partial skeletal design makes the four spring balances visible through the watch dial and makes this watch look as if it was designed way ahead of its time. The centre of the watch has the actual dial with the watch hands in silver with red detailing on the tips. The hourly markings are bright right on a bright blue shiny steel background which makes the red look even more vibrant.

3.    Knights of the round table


This watch has an artistic design within the dial. A rose watch case fitted with black alligator skin leather strap intensifies the look of this watch. This watch design is inspired by the legend of King Arthur. The dial is a black jade with gorgeous detailed engravings that depict Old England designs. The hourly markings are 12 sculpted knights who are aiming their swords to the centre of the dial.
