In the world of high-end horology, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Revuelto Flyback Chronograph 45mm emerges as a masterpiece that marries the thrill of high-performance supercars with cutting-edge watchmaking. Inspired by the Lamborghini Revuelto, this watch is designed for those who appreciate both innovative engineering and a bold aesthetic, embodying Roger Dubuis’ vision for Hyper Horology™.
Inspired by the Lamborghini Revuelto
This Excalibur Spider model pays homage to the revolutionary Lamborghini Revuelto, an icon in the realm of high-performance, electrified supercars. Just as the Revuelto redefines what a hybrid supercar can be, Roger Dubuis’ chronograph sets a new standard in watchmaking innovation.
From the supercar-inspired orange and green accents to the dial’s striking “Y”-shaped bar—a tribute to the Revuelto’s headlights—every element is meticulously crafted to capture the spirit of speed.
Power and Precision: The RD780 Calibre
At the heart of this watch is the impressive RD780 calibre, a fully-integrated chronograph movement visible through the skeletonised dial. This calibre is a marvel, offering a 72-hour power reserve, allowing wearers to enjoy its power and precision even if it sits off the wrist for a few days. The visible column wheel, central to the chronograph’s operation, is a signature feature for chronograph aficionados. It provides tactile feedback and visual intrigue, making every watch interaction feel purposeful.
Adding to its precision is a vertical clutch mechanism, a sophisticated engineering choice that reduces wear on the chronograph’s components and minimises any jitter in the chronograph hand. The RD780 also includes an innovative Second Braking System (SBS), which enhances the stability of the chronograph’s second hand, ensuring that each start and stop is precise.
A Unique 120° Rotating Minute Counter (RMC)
One of the watch’s most captivating features is its 120° Rotating Minute Counter (RMC) positioned at 3 o’clock. This feature adds a dynamic element to the chronograph, with a patent-pending tripartite hand that rotates numbers 0, 1, and 2 around the 0-9 digits on the right. This creative, isotoxal design enhances readability and adds a playful yet technical look, giving wearers an entirely new way to track time in a chronograph.
Aesthetic Appeal and Exceptional Craftsmanship
The Excalibur Spider Revuelto Flyback Chronograph isn’t just about performance; it’s a work of art. The Poinçon de Genève certification is a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship, with each detail carefully considered and crafted to perfection. The “Y” shape on the dial—a nod to the Revuelto’s headlights—is a design flourish that gives the watch a distinctly automotive edge. On the back, the caseback rotor shaped like wheel rims continues the supercar-inspired theme, adding to the timepiece’s multi-dimensional, aerodynamic design.
The watch’s openwork dial, supercar-inspired colours, and skeletal frame give it a modern, edgy look, reflecting the bold character of the Roger Dubuis brand.
The Fifth Generation of Roger Dubuis Chronographs
Roger Dubuis’ journey in chronograph innovation, which began in 1995, has reached a new milestone with this model. Representing the fifth generation of chronograph designs, the Excalibur Spider Revuelto Flyback is an ambitious achievement highlighting the brand’s continuous push toward Hyper Horology™. Its flyback chronograph function allows instantaneous resetting of the chronograph without stopping it—a highly desirable feature for sports and speed enthusiasts.
The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Revuelto Flyback Chronograph 45mm is not for the faint-hearted; it’s a bold statement piece, designed for those who live and breathe high-performance machines. With its supercar-inspired design, intricate engineering, and revolutionary features, this timepiece is a testament to Roger Dubuis’ vision for the future of Hyper Horology™.
For fans of luxury watches and supercars alike, the Excalibur Spider Revuelto is more than a timepiece—it’s a thrilling fusion of art, engineering, and adrenaline that celebrates both tradition and innovation. If you’re looking for a watch that combines precision mechanics with daring aesthetics, the Excalibur Spider Revuelto is a compelling choice, marking a defining achievement in the brand’s chronograph legacy.
