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.

MeisterSinger is renowned for its unique single-hand mechanical wristwatches. This distinctive design philosophy harks back to the earliest methods of time measurement, reflecting a historical lineage that begins with sundials and continues through the first mechanical watches of the Middle Ages to the advent of the first portable timepieces. MeisterSinger's commitment to this single-hand tradition not only celebrates the artistry and precision of mechanical watchmaking but also connects modern wearers with the timeless heritage of horology.

MeisterSinger has consistently showcased this time display method across a variety of releases, with one of its most famous being the Unomat collection, first introduced in 2021. This year, the brand is expanding this collection with two new releases featuring striking black cases and vibrant colors.

The new watches feature a stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter and 13.4mm in thickness, enhanced with a black DLC coating and a polished bezel. Both models boast a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, along with a sandblasted midcase and caseback. The crown is positioned at 3 o’clock for the international edition (blue) and at 9 o’clock for the Netherlands market edition (orange).

The watch features a matte black dial with a single hand and applied hour indices made of luminous material, available in blue or orange. The dial includes an outer minute track marked with white 15-minute intervals, and a circular date window positioned at 6 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the automatic Sellita SW 400 movement, which has been specially modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand design. It is enclosed in layers of soft iron, providing protection against magnetic fields. The movement operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The watches are available with either blue or orange rubber straps, depending on the edition. Each version is limited to 50 pieces and is priced at EUR 2,690, equivalent to AED 10,600.
