The Excalibur Bi-Retrograde Calendar by Roger Dubuis

This year, Roger Dubuis celebrates its 30th anniversary, and for the occasion, the company pays tribute to its co-founder’s favourite complication: the bi-retrograde display.

This function, previously featured in the Excalibur Grande Complication alongside a dozen other highly complex mechanisms, takes centre stage once again. The Maison has also introduced a less complicated, more classic edition to further honour the bi-retrograde display.

Also referred to as “the ecliptic counters” by the Maison a nod to their elliptical shape and distinctive role in indicating the months and date the design showcases a symmetrical dial layout. Enhanced by refined detailing, it pays homage to the Maison’s early creations from 1996.

The Hublot Classic Fusion collection epitomizes the brand's approach to simple yet elegant time display. Known for a variety of releases, this collection includes vibrant dials by calligraphy artist Wissam Shawkat and the Titanium Gradient Blue Oman.

Now, Hublot introduces the Classic Fusion Essential Grey, a new addition to the Essential Grey collection. This collection is one of the brand’s rarest, featuring a single model and color, available only once a year. Collectors who have acquired the previous releases, the Big Bang Unico Essential Grey in 2022 and the Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey in 2023, can now complete their set.

The Classic Fusion Essential Grey comes in a case made from brushed and polished titanium, with the iconic 6 H-shaped screws. The timepiece is available in two sizes, 45 mm or 42 mm in diameter, with thicknesses of 10.95 mm or 10.4 mm. The elegant sunray grey dial is protected by a sapphire crystal and features a simple three-handed time display with a date window positioned at 3 o’clock.

The 45mm variant is powered by the HUB1112 caliber, and the 42mm variant is powered by the smaller HUB1110 caliber. Both calibers are automatic, and operate at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offer a 42-hour power reserve.

The watches are paired with a grey rubber strap with grey fabric, featuring a stainless steel deployant buckle. They both share a price of CHF 7,700, which is equivalent to AED 31,700.
