At ROGER DUBUIS creativity is the trend, originality is the motto, and passion is the driving force.

Presented by the manufacture ROGER DUBUIS, The La Monegasque Chronograph belongs to the La Monegasque collection of elegantly contoured timepieces driven by exceptional mechanical movements, each bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève and including a new chronograph caliber.
The La Monegasque collection stands out for the flowing line of its case whose round dial stretches the contours of the bezel to produce a uniquely distinctive form.  Audacity and excellence underlie this new collection which incorporates only exceptional mechanical movements that have been designed, developed and produced by Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS.
A work of art that holds up the style of ROGER DUBUIS, The La Monegasque Chronograph is driven by the new self-winding mechanical RD680 movement.  Designed, developed and produced by Manufacture ROGER DUBUIS, the RD680 chronograph calibre represents the new generation of mechanical movements at ROGER DUBUIS, matching beauty with performance and building on cutting-edge production technology.

Incorporating the signature features of ROGER DUBUIS movements, such as the shape of the bridges, springs and levers, this new Fine Watch movement will give rise to a new family of calibres that fully respect the aesthetic of the brand and the exacting standards of the Poinçon de Genève.
The La Monegasque Chronograph is presented on a genuine alligator strap with a steel folding buckle.  Its case is water-resistant to 5 bar (50 metres).With 42 jewels finely adjusted in five positions
