Intriguing. Accomplished. Disruptive. Bearing all of the hallmarks of a work of art, Roger Dubuis is proud to unveil the Excalibur Monobalancier. Crafted from EON GOLDTM, a specific 750/1000 5N gold alloy that is more resistant to tarnishing when exposed to extreme conditions. It is a timepiece that proves the only limit for Hyper Horology is one’s own imagination.

Both contemporary and sophisticated, this EXCALIBUR watch comes with a series of mechanical and aesthetic improvements.

Inside the watch beats RD 720SQ calibre, a brand new self-winding movement with improved performance. It offers increased power reserve up to 72 hours thanks to a new gear-train toothing and escapement optimization through its geometry.

It also has improved durability thanks to new lube, and increased precision thanks to 4 Hz frequency.

The micro-rotor is optimised to minimise its vibrations, and crafted from Pink Gold 750/1000 and Tungsten finished with an engraving of the Roger Dubuis’ monogram to modernise its design.

The Maison has doubled the balance wheel inertia to improve stability and make it less sensitive to shocks.

n the same way, better efficiency and energy transmission is achieved by optimising the shape of the escapement wheel, now constructed from diamond-coated silicon, and paired with adjustable, diamond-coated silicon pallet-stones, and a new lube.

The EXCALIBUR Monobalancier watch comes with clean cut lines, fluted bezel and sharp notches, while the signature star is reshaped to levitate freely above the barrel.

A contemporary approach is further evident in the decorations amplifying the expressive nature of this 42mm timepiece, including highly contrasted decorations such as sandblasted, satin-brushed surfaces, and polished angles.
