Roger Dubuis' New Pirelli and Lamborghini Limited Editions

The most recent edition from the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton - following in the red, blue, and yellow-highlighted models introduced captured - is made to stimulate the feel of race track tarmac using its black DLC titanium situation and white-colored highlights (another model can be obtained with blue highlights), such as the numerals around the bezel and also the contrast stitching around the strap. The 48-mm situation features the fluted bezel representational from the Excalibur collection and also the overmolded black DLC crown with white-colored rubber coating, combined with the triple openworked lugs that anchor the timepiece to the bi-material strap - here, as on preceding Pirelli models, boasting an exterior surface built of rubber from actual Pirelli tire rubber from race-winning cars over an inside layer made from a softer rubber enhanced having a Pirelli tire tread pattern.

The skeletonized movement, Caliber RD820SQ, was created on your own (instead of becoming an existing movement skeletonized afterwards) and incorporates the now-familiar “star” motif seen out of all Spider models, using the tips from the five-pointed star also becoming hour pointers. It’s operated by a micro-rotor that gives winding power (along with a 60-hour power reserve) equal to what bigger central winding rotor despite its reduced weight and openworked structure. Made up of 166 meticulously hands-finished components, including NAC-coated plates and bridges, the movement continues to be awarded the esteemed Geneva quality hallmark, the Poin?on de Genève - a distinction shared by all Roger Dubuis movements. The timepiece is a special edition of 88 pieces.

Named after Lamborghini’s flagship high-performance roadsterThe Excalibur Aventador S Pink Gold is provided inside a new situation calculating 45 mm across and mixing a multilayer carbon and titanium middle and back having a notched Excalibur bezel made from rose gold. Like its predecessors within the brand’s lately launched Lamborghini series, it's outfitted having a highly skeletonized movement, Caliber RD103SQ, that takes design cues from your Aventador S engine. Rose gold can also be employed for the hour indices, as the hands are constructed with black-coated gold with luminous SLN-filled tips. The rose-gold crown is overmolded in black rubber.

The hands-wound movement, displayed through azure crystals in the back and front from the watch, consists of 312 components, including 48 jewels, featuring a dual sprung balance and power reserve of 40 hrs. The movement is distinguished by engine strut bars inspired by Roger Dubuis’s Astral Skeleton motif, and evoking the feel of an electric train engine under a wide open hood. Echoing the performance-enhancing longitudinal keeping Lamborghini engines, the double balance wheel is inclined in a similar position, supported and highlighted by holders formed like triangular wheel suspension assemblies. It's, obviously, also certified using the Poin?on de Geneve. This watch can also be installed on a bi-material strap having a quick-release system for simple changeability here the types of materials really are a black rubber base as well as an inlay made from Alcantara, exactly the same materials within the cockpit seats of Lamborghi cars.  The strap closes having a black DLC-coated titanium folding buckle. The Aventador S Pink Gold is restricted to twenty-eight pieces.

Another new Aventador model

The Aventador S Blue, shares all of the technical and style features of the Pink Gold edition, but is much more carefully linked to Lamborghini DNA, having a situation built in the same C-SMC carbon utilized on actual Lamborghini cars. Its bimaterial strap includes a  black-and-Neptune-blue color plan, blue rubber over-moulding around the situation and crown, and blue markings around the fluted carbon bezel.

Roger Dubuis also announced at its SIHH press conference that it'll dominate like a sponsor from the Super Trofeo Championship 2018, a Lamborghini-only number of races, replacing the prior watch-brand sponsor, Blancpain. For additional around the Super Trofeo, click the link
