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.

Ebel is a Swiss watchmaker with roots dating back to 1911 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, with a legacy built on dedication to innovation and design. In 1989, Ebel introduced the Voyager, a world timer admired for its beautiful map dial. Today, Ebel revives this iconic timepiece with the launch of the Ebel 1911 Globe, bringing the Voyager’s classic charm into the modern generation.

The case is available in a stainless steel variant or a two-tone (stainless steel and yellow gold plated) variant, measuring 42 mm in diameter and 10.8 mm in thickness. It features a black ceramic bezel displaying 24 major locations. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, and the movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back.

The dial displays continents that are either rhodium-plated or yellow gold-plated, with a 24-hour scale in either white and black or green and white. The skeletonized hour and minute hands have lume-filled tips, while the GMT hand features a red arrow-shaped, lume-filled tip. The seconds hand also includes a red-highlighted tip, and the date window sits at 6 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the Sellita SW330-2, an automatic movement operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering a 56-hour power reserve. It comes with a stainless steel or stainless steel and yellow PVD-finished link bracelet, along with an additional black or brown calfskin leather strap.

The stainless steel variant is priced at CHF 3,000 / AED 12,600, while the two-tone variant is priced at CHF 3,700 / AED 15,500.
