Bending boundaries, breaking rules, reinventing the game. Underscored by hyper technical craft and hyper expressive design. A place where bigger is better and going bolder is mandatory: welcome to Roger Dubuis. Showcasing some of the most excessive creations yet, the future of fine watchmaking has arrived with a remarkable evolution of the Excalibur Monobalancier. Determined to mark the physical return of Watches & Wonders with outstanding masterpieces, Roger Dubuis continues to elevate its art and technical mastery to new heights, always striving for excellence, and constantly challenging itself to go further.
The last in the evolution of the Roger Dubuis 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 Roger Dubuis 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 Roger Dubuis 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 GOLDTM* case and an embossed black calf-leather strap, the other one also with an EON GOLDTM* 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 GOLDTM is a specific 750/1000 5N gold alloy that is more resistant to tarnishing when exposed to extreme conditions

The work of hyper-skilled craftsmen is at the forefront of each watch with a direct view on the creative mechanics making these pieces more alive than ever.
Specific Highlights
The new development of the Excalibur Original collection. A calibre with improved performances: increased power reserve up to 72 hours thanks to a new geartrain toothing and escapement optimization through its geometry. Improved durability thanks to new lube, and increased precision thanks to 4hz frequency. The case of the watch is made of a new and patented type of pink gold alloy which is tarnishing a lot slower than standard pink gold. Besides, the new alloy is more resistant to challenging conditions such as saltwater.
This new material is called EON GOLD*.
