ROGER DUBUIS


Excalibur 42 Automatic Blue Dial Japan Limited Edition


The Geneva Seal signifies that a timepiece has met the quality assurance standards set by the Canton of Geneva's cantonal law. Roger Dubuis is the only manufacture to obtain the Geneva Seal for all its products, and its exceptional quality is befitting of the finest gift.

A Fusion of Strength and Delicate Finishing


The Canton of Geneva in Switzerland, a mecca for watchmaking, has established quality standards for timepieces based on its cantonal laws. The latest standards are exceptionally stringent, encompassing not only the aesthetics of the movement but also the precision of the finished product, the beauty of its exterior, and its performance. Engraving the Geneva Seal, a mark of having cleared these rigorous examinations, is a true testament to superior quality. Roger Dubuis is the sole brand to pass such demanding scrutiny for all its products.

The "Excalibur 42 Automatic Japan Limited Edition" introduced here is one such timepiece that promises this high level of quality. With a concept of strength and excellence, it features a fluted bezel, a large, prominent seconds sub-dial, and elongated, impactful Roman numerals, embodying a truly dynamic aesthetic. The bracelet also pursues masculine strength and superior fit.

This limited edition of 88 timepieces for Japan is an exceptional piece, featuring a dial with a sunburst finish that creates beautiful shading in a refreshing blue hue, making it worthy of being called the ultimate gift.

The History of Excalibur


A Movement Adorned with Tradition and Originality
Roger Dubuis timepieces are masterpieces, showcasing the movement—the heart of a mechanical wristwatch—through a transparent case back, combining the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with exquisitely refined mechanics.

The Cal. RD640 movement powering this watch features an innovative mechanism with a micro-rotor automatic winding system, which is smaller than usual and offers superior winding efficiency. Its decoration also embodies the tradition of Geneva watchmaking, finished with great sophistication.
