EXCALIBUR THE PEERLESS COLLECTION FROM ROGER DUBUIS

The new subtly remodelled Excalibur collection has been modernised. The bezel has become more pronounced thanks to more dynamic, deeper fluting. While preserving its strong personality, the crown-guard has become more streamlined and merges more closely with the case middle. And the ingenious effect of a double flange around the dial gives it new depth by highlighting each identifying feature of this collection.

EXCALIBUR AUTOMATIC TOURBILLON
Equipped with the brand new self-winding mechanical movement, one of the collection’s very latest models, the pierced tourbillon, reveals both its micro-rotor and flying tourbillon. The rose gold fillets outline the mother-of-pearl area on a dial designed with a circle theme and accentuate the strength of the large Roman numerals. The rose gold case is complemented by a hand-stitched alligator strap fitted with a rose gold folding buckle. This exclusive model comes in a limited series of 88.
