In keeping with the joyous spirit of Diwali, the festival of lights, Roger Dubuis, Swiss creator of the finest luxury watches presents watch lovers in India with two exquisite offerings.
Resplendent in rose gold, the Excalibur 36 Automatic for women and the Excalibur 42 Automatic for men, are a couple of exceptional timepieces that superbly represent Roger Dubuis’ masterly craftsmanship and are ideal as gifts over the festive season.
« We are glad to be able to celebrate the festival of giving that Diwali symbolizes along with our valued Indian customers, » said Jean–Marc Pontroué, CEO of Roger Dubuis. On this occasion we present the highly discerning Indian watch lover with two outstanding models from our unique product line, » he said.
The Excalibur 42 Automatic conveys a sense of masterful authority to the wearer with the distinct Roman numerals prominent on the central dial. Clearly legible are the hours and minutes indicated on the main dial with the date appearing in a window 6 o’clock and the seconds in a small counter at 9 o’clock. The watch is powered by the automatic mechanical movement RD640 comprising 198 components. The pleasingly crafted case in pink gold is enhanced by rhodium-coated pink gold appliques and its elegance extends perfectly into the pink gold bracelet.
Elegance is the lifeblood that courses through the Excalibur 36 line. The pure design of its graphic 36 mm case indicates its fine watchmaking pedigree. The Excalibur 36 Automatic shows off its satin-brushed dials resplendent in a sunburst pattern finished with a semi-matt varnish or a rhodium-coating. The 36 mm case emphasizes its shape and curves with alternate polished and fine-brushed finishes. Its transparent sapphire case-back reveals the careful finishing and “Côtes de Genève” decoration of the Roger Dubuis mechanical calibre RD821.
In the tradition of uncompromising excellence that has built the reputation of the Geneva watchmaker, these models are all stamped with the prestigious Poincon de Geneve seal of watchmaking excellence.
