  • Catalogue Essay

    The Excailbur 42 series was first launch in 2015 and it was the world debut with their new calibre RD820SQ self-winding movement. Bearing the Geneva seal, it’s a bold but minimalist mechanism. It was also Roger Dubuis first self-winding movement for their distinctive skeletonized movement.

    Roger Dubuis launched a new Blacklight Trilogy with the Excailbur 42 series successes, fitted with the manufacture signature ‘Astral Skeleton’ movement and combined with innovative technology using micro-structures made of lab-grown sapphire identical to that used in watchmaking jewels by imbuing it with the inherent ability to glow under UV light giving it the appearance of a 3D mechanical sculpture which is stunning showing lines and visual depth of the movement.

    This special ‘Rainbow’ limited edition of 28 pieces was launched in Shanghai in 2019 with precious gemstones bezel giving an explosive aesthetic feat to the watch, furthermore, this example is number 15 out of 28 and offered in excellent condition.
