Roger Dubuis New Watches
Roger Dubuis New Watches: Indulging its penchant for amazing experiences, in 2019 Roger Dubuis once again served as official timer to one of the world’s most exclusive driving odyssey, the annual Run to Monaco; the brand also debuted two new horological masterpieces…
Bringing together a small number of lovers of great mechanics and thrills, this annual happening attains heights of luxury beyond the bounds of any conventional rally and offers a mind-blowing demonstration of pleasure and emotion. This year, the maison packed an even more powerful punch with the presence of a friend of the brand, Canelo Alvarez. The middleweight boxing champion is a keen devotee of raging mechanics, and his participation set tyres squealing as he joined the line-up at the wheel of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
With its fantastic scenery, stunning performance, outstanding hotels, powerful injection of adrenalin and total opulence from start to finish, the Run to Monaco doubtless qualifies as one of life’s quintessential extraordinary experiences. As its name implies, the Run to Monaco culminates in an opportunity to relish VIP exposure to the prestigious racing event.
On this occasion, Roger Dubuis enjoyed the prestigious company of its “Perfect Fit” partner, tyre expert Pirelli, exclusive supplier and official partner of what is widely regarded as the jewel in the crown of motorsport. Roger Dubuis marked the 2019 edition of the Run to Monaco with the launch of two standout timepieces: the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon and the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton. Powerful and daring, code-breaking and unconventional in the extreme, Excalibur is the perfect medium for Roger Dubuis to express itself.
Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon – Limited edition of 8
Equipped with the RD105SQ calibre, the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon features a skeleton double flying tourbillon, one of the most sophisticated complications in the world of Haute Horlogerie. For the iconic races in which Pirelli plays a crucial role, certain tyres are particularly important in achieving the desired level of performance. The Pirelli yellow tyre is the central one of the 2019 Grand Prix range, a series of tyres specially designed to promote levels of performance and increase resistance to overheating, thus providing greater consistency.
The yellow tyres are also known for their durability and extreme versatility and are indeed the most frequent choice in the Grand Prix use, thus contributing to the greatest number of race wins. All these qualities make it an ideal choice for distinctive accents on the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon. However, the big surprise comes in the strap bearing rubber inlays from certified Pirelli-winning tyres having competed in real races and reproducing the profile of a Pirelli Cinturatotm intermediate tyre, a pattern appearing on all 2019 Excalibur Spider Pirelli straps. In addition to it, the strap also features the “Pirelli Competition” inscription typically appearing on the sides of Pirelli racing tyres and thus further reinforcing its unmistakable affiliation. Limited to just eight pieces worldwide, the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon comes with a powerful blast of exclusivity along with a complementary motorsport experience for each lucky purchaser.
Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton – Limited edition of 88
Highlighting Roger Dubuis’ nature as a serial innovator, the 88-piece limited edition Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton also features the micro-rotor providing a direct view of the mechanism and enhancing the spectacular 3D effect now associated with Roger Dubuis’ extrovert approach to hyper horology with authentic mechanical content. Carrying the same exclusive Pirelli tyre profile as its double flying tourbillon counterpart, this true-blue model echoes the shade of full-wet tyres desired to ensure optimal grip even in heavy rain conditions
