W&W 2022 Roger Dubuis Excalibur Monobalancier EON GOLD™ 42 mm

The last in the evolution of the Excalibur collection is the new Excalibur Monobalancier. Bringing visionary engineers together with incredible watchmakers, the timepiece is enhanced with a series of mechanical and aesthetic improvements that give birth to a sophisticated creation of contemporary flair. 

Performance is pushed to its maximum for the new RD 720SQ calibre with technical developments designed to increase the power reserve to 72 hours.

Meanwhile, 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 continuously seeks solutions for better performance and precision too, hence doubling the balance wheel inertia to improve stability and make it less sensitive to shocks. In 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.

Hyper contemporary design

Reinterpreted for the modern world with sophistication and flair, the Excalibur Monobalancier is designed 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.

Meeting the exceptional high standards of the Poinçon de Genève, two editions are available, one with an EON GOLD^TM* case and an embossed black calf-leather strap, the other one also with an EON GOLD^TM* case and adorned with 60 round-cut diamonds and an embossed purple calf-leather strap. Both straps feature a patented Quick Release System to ensure ultimate versatility for the wearer.

*EON GOLD™ is a specific 750/1000 5N gold alloy that is more resistant to tarnishing when exposed to extreme conditions
