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.

Field Watch

A field watch is a type of wristwatch designed to be rugged, durable, and easy to read in outdoor or harsh environments. Originally developed for military use, field watches are characterized by their functional and practical design. They typically feature a simple and straightforward dial with clear numerals and large markers, along with luminous hands and markers for easy reading in low-light or no-light conditions.

Field watches are often made from stainless steel or other durable materials. They are typically water-resistant to varying degrees. The straps of field watches are made from durable materials such as nylon or stainless steel, among others.

The main purpose of a field watch is to provide accurate timekeeping and practical performance in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and other adventures.
