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 Chronograph 42 ref. RDDBEX0390. A striking fusion of high-performance watchmaking and a more classical aesthetic than Roger Dubuis typically goes for in their modern catalog, the ref. RDDBEX0390 features a stunning silver dial with Roger Dubuis’ signature exploding rose gold Roman numerals, and a pairing of silver subdials for its chronograph at 3 and 6 o’clock that add a level of subtle depth to the display. Made of 18kt rose gold and offered on a leather strap that attaches to the ref. RDDBEX0390’s unique triple-lug construction, the watch errs on the more classical side, with its fluted bezel feeding into its traditionalist execution. Powered by the automatic cal. RD681 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.
