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.

Limited Edition

A limited edition is a special type of watch that is produced in a limited quantity. These watches often feature distinctive elements that set them apart from regular watches. Limited edition watches can be created to commemorate a specific event, honor a famous person, or showcase innovative and unique designs.

Limited edition watches are primarily used as a marketing strategy by watch manufacturers to create exclusivity and desire among watch collectors. Sometimes, the limited production is due to the limited capacity of an independent watchmaker, making the watch more rare and valuable.
