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.

Ever since Oris began its journey into luxury watchmaking, diving watches have been one of its best features. The brand has offered numerous versions of this model across different collections, including the chronograph collection, which features the "Aquis" , a classic design that reflects the spirit of diving. Today, we present the brand’s latest evolution in diving watches, the new Diver’s Date collection, launched to celebrate the approaching 60th anniversary of its first diving watch. This collection includes three versions, each available in a different color.

The watch comes in a multi-piece stainless steel case with a 39 mm diameter. It includes a unidirectional rotating bezel accented by a black ceramic, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. The top glass is crafted from domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating on the inside, ensuring clarity and scratch resistance. The case back is made of stainless steel with a screwed design, that allows a glimpse of the intricate movement within. Additionally, the watch is equipped with a stainless steel screw-in security crown, providing water resistance up to 200 meters, making it suitable for various aquatic activities.

The watch dial is available in black, blue, or beige, each offering a distinctive look that complements the overall design. It features Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and applied indexes, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light conditions. A white printed minute track encircles the edges, enhancing readability and allowing for precise timekeeping. Additionally, a date window positioned at 6 o'clock provides added functionality, making it a practical choice for everyday wear while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.

The watch is powered by the Oris 733 caliber automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1, which includes a stop-second mechanism for accurate setting. It has a power reserve of 41 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz).

It comes with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a folding clasp and a quick strap change system. Additionally, it includes an extra black rubber strap with a stainless steel buckle. And priced at CHF 2,450 which is equivalent to AED 10,780.
