MONOBALANCIER TITANIUM
Roger Dubuis brings a new masterpiece into the world of watchmaking as it unveils the Excalibur Monobalancier (MB) Titanium, a remarkable blend of material mastery, expressive design, and horological expertise. Crafted from titanium Grade 5, the hyper-modern timepiece is a strikingly light variation of the iconic original Excalibur MB, boasting peak levels of comfort, aesthetics, and performance.
Showcasing its game-reinventing approach, Roger Dubuis has crafted its iconic Excalibur MB anew from titanium. 33% lighter than stainless steel and legendary for its strength-to-weight ratio, the space-age metal boasts many innate benefits: from its naturally soft and hypoallergenic nature, to its high anti-corrosion and antimagnetic properties.
Skin-friendly, comfortable, and durable, titanium is the finest choice for connoisseurs searching for a timepiece fit for modern living.
Roger Dubuis’ watchmakers continue to perfect the art of technical material mastery, crafting the bezel and the case in the Maison’s complex and expressive signature shape despite the challenges brought by working with a soft metal like titanium Grade 5. To ensure that the timepiece is just as expressive at night as during the day, SuperLuminova® is applied on the hour markers, the tips of the hands, and the logos.
To achieve a fully metallic look, the completely skeletonised timepiece’s bracelet is also crafted with titanium. Utilising expertly shortened links, this subtle articulation rework has a big impact, with better adhesion to the wrist. An evolution that entirely enhances the way the bracelet rests and moves when worn would not be complete without the signature quick release system, ensuring both comfort and versatility for the owner wherever they choose to wear it.
Modern and edgy, the Excalibur MB Titanium is adorned with a premium matte metallic sheen that is complemented by shiny polished bevels on the bracelet. Creating this crisp contrast showcases the continued technical prowess of the watchmakers, overcoming the challenges coming from titanium.
Attention to detail is pushed further still with the case’s central lug featured on the bracelet links demonstrating even more harmonious aesthetics. Finally, the advanced mechanics of the diamond-coated silicon escapement wheel paired with diamondcoated silicon pallet-stones ensure an impressive 72 hours of power reserve, bringing even more practicality and comfort to the wearer. Hallmarked with the Poinçon de Genève, each element of the timepiece is meticulously hand-finished with the utmost care. Exceptionally light and comfortable, it perfectly adapts to the most demanding lifestyles.
