Roger Dubuis unveiled the next generation of the Excalibur Blacklight Monobalancier (MB) – one of the brightest expressions of the Maison to date. The metal micro-beams of the calibre are tri-dimensional for the first time, taking the shape of Roger Dubuis’ signature star. Bright yellow and orange by day, they reveal their secret luminescence and glow neon under UV light.
In the heart of the signature star, the watchmaker put a hyper-precious and vividly fluorescent diamond. To ensure the spotlight remains on the micro-beams, 60 non-fluorescent diamonds were also specifically selected to decorate the bezel. The finished look proves their absolute control over where the fluorescence shows up.
Bright yellow shade enhanced by vibrant orange touches creates the watch’s distinctive aesthetic, letting the details of the expressive calibre reveal themselves layer by layer. This 42mm white gold timepiece features bright yellow rubber and calf-leather strap, micro-beams, hour and minute markers. The owners can change the strap in just a few clicks as it is equipped with a hyper-versatile and quick-release system.
The latest edition of the Excalibur Blacklight MB is fitted with the RD720SQ calibre, which has an increased power reserve of 72 hours. The micro-rotor and balance wheel are also optimized to minimize vibrations, improve stability, and make it less sensitive to shocks. To achieve even better efficiency and energy transmission, the shape of the escapement wheel is updated, paired with diamond-coated silicon pallet-stones, and completed with a new lube. The watch is hand-finished with meticulous care and rewarded with the Poinçon de Genève, one of the most demanding certifications in fine watchmaking.
The Excalibur Blacklight MB is limited to 28 pieces.
