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 Spider Tourbillon ref. DBEX0747. Launched in 2019 as a limited edition of only 88 pieces for Pirelli, the iconic tyre manufacturer, this timepiece is a striking fusion of high-performance watchmaking and automotive excellence. Featuring a skeletonized design, it proudly showcases its intricate automatic cal. RD820SQ movement. Completely skeletonized like its black and red-accented dial (one of Pirelli’s brand color combinations), this timepiece puts its intricate mechanics at center stage as it highlights the precision and technical mastery behind the watch, a level of engineering excellence that Roger Dubuis shares with Pirelli. Featuring a 45mm case crafted from titanium with black DLC coating, this timepiece is both a lightweight and impactful presence on the wrist. Its vibrant red accents are inspired by Pirelli's winning tire color, adding a sporty flair to the watch. The rubber strap incorporates Pirelli tire inlays from tyres that won Grand Prix races during the 2016 season, this limited edition timepiece boasts a unique connection to motorsport heritage.

THE DIAL
Completely skeletonized, the Excalibur Spider's dial perfectly blends into the skeletonized movement that resides beneath and the construction that holds it all together.
THE CONSTRUCTION
A large watch at 45mm, the Excalibur Spider's DLC titanium construction is light on the wrist, meaning its commanding presence is somewhat alleviated.
