ROGER DUBUIS
DIRECT FROM SIHH 2017: EXCALIBUR 36
Direct from SIHH 2017 in Geneva, Roger Dubuis presents this smaller-sized interpretation of the Excalibur design that echoes the collection’ s trademark fluted bezel and triple lugs, together with the radiating Roman numerals. The black DLC-treated titanium case is topped by a bezel set with 48 blue sapphires. These gems are nicely set to reflect blue PVD-coated dial with its shimmering sun-brushed finish. The glitter is offset only with a small seconds subdial and a small date display. Not strictly a watch for ladies, the new model is just the first of several new and colorful gem-set 36mm diameter watches Roger Dubuis will add in January to this increasingly popular collection. The watch is equipped with the RD830 caliber featuring a 22-karat pink gold rotor that may be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case-back and ensures a 48-hour power reserve. As a finishing touch, the matching blue alligator leather strap is fitted with DLC-treated titanium folding buckle. Only twenty-eight will be made. Prices to come.
