THRILLING MECHANICS , RAGING PERFORMANCE
The new Excalibur Spider Huracán MB reflects the DNA of Lamborghini Squadra Corse combined with the horological excellence of the Maison . Powered by an automatic RD630 calibre , the 45-mm diameter Excalibur Spider Huracán channels the same exhilarating performance as its motoring namesake . Strong visual cues are inspired from the Huracán GT3 EVO2 , including the honeycomb motif made famous by the supercar , with its hexagonal dashboard paralleled in the shape of the calibre . Built like an engine , the calibre ’ s twin barrels and 12 ° tilted balance wheel also represent the movement signature associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse . When viewed from the back , the skeletonised movement reveals the 360 ° oscillating rim weight . This reproduces the like-for-like speed effect of a Huracán wheel rim , as well as emulating its design . Finally , a crown inspired by the supercar ’ s racing nuts is paired with an upper calibre strut-bar bridge design reminiscent of those found on the V10 engine itself . When visionary engineers meet incredible watchmakers , iconic timepieces are born .
HYPER-TECH MATERIALS MEET INSPIRING RACING CODES
Both Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse compulsively seek out hyper-tech materials to fulfil their obsession with shaping the future . Just as Lamborghini Squadra Corse chooses carbon fibre for its racing cars , Roger Dubuis crafts the new Excalibur Spider Huracán MB case and bezel from pure white Mineral Composite Fibre ( MCF ). Exclusively developed in-house , this hyper-tech material illustrates the Maison ’ s technical mastery . The 100 % integrated Manufacture found that engineering silica via a Sheet Molding Compound ( SMC ) process could produce a material 13 % lighter than SMC carbon . Not only does this lightness make it extremely comfortable to wear on the wrist , it also enables the creation of intricate designs thanks to a sturdy structure . Always seeking out the most expressive aesthetics , the pure white MCF is further elevated with embellishments in striking green , intense red and electrifying yellow to honour the design of the Huracán GT3 EVO . The same shades are also found on the white rubber strap , which features green calf leather perforated with tiny holes to reveal the red beneath .
Intricate stitching in red adds to the audacious look , while a Quick Release System ensures ultimate versatility . As exclusive as the Festival of Speed Driver ’ s Club , the Excalibur Spider Huracán MB is reserved for a select tribe only and therefore limited to 88 pieces .
