Roger Dubuis Excalibur 42 DBEX0620 Stainless Steel

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Famed for their intensely aggressive aesthetics, Roger Dubuis’ timepieces have become some of the most avant-garde watches on the market. Speaking to that fact is the Excalibur 42 ref. DBEX0620. A striking fusion of high-performance watchmaking and a more classical aesthetic than Roger Dubuis typically goes for in their modern catalog, the ref. DBEX0620 features a stunning silver dial with Roger Dubuis’ signature exploding black Roman numerals, and a large running seconds subdial at 6 o’clock that adds a level of depth to the display. Made of stainless steel and offered on a 5-link bracelet, the ref. DBEX0620’s construction errs on the more classical side, with its fluted bezel feeding into its traditionalist design. Powered by the automatic cal. RD830 movement and packed with an impressive wrist presence, this timepiece is a wonderful example of Roger Dubuis’ modern stylistic flair but in a more dressed down package.

THE DIAL
THE DIAL

Featuring a silver dial with exploding black Roman numerals, the ref. DBEX0620 speaks to Roger Dubuis' famously aggresive aesthetic but with a classical and traditionalist twist.

THE CONSTRUCTION
THE CONSTRUCTION

In the same vein as its dial, the ref. DBEX0620's 42mm stainless steel construction uses a 5-link bracelet and a fluted bezel to give the watch its wrist presence instead of off-the-wall design details as their timepiece's normally feature.

Condition

The watch is in overall near-mint condition. The steel case has a well-preserved finish, with only a couple of light marks and a tiny mark on the non-crown case side. The display case back features well-defined engravings. The dial and hands are like new. The steel bracelet is excellent, with 12 1/2 links, 4 1/2 of which are removable, and 2 additional links included. It currently fits an approximately 7” wrist. Comes with boxes, warranty and card holder.

Our Perspective

Showcasing Roger Dubuis' famously aggressive design language in a toned-down monochromatic aesthetic, the ref. DBEX0620 is a display of the watchmaker's capacity to create some truly unique timepieces.
