What does the word “avant-garde” stand for? Roger Dubuis must have a good answer. As a synonym for “unique and distinctive”. Roger Dubuis luxury has been presenting us with a wide range of fashion masterpieces with outstanding designs since its inception. Among them, there are many cooperation models of famous cars, which have become a unique existence in the watchmaking industry with their unruly and subversive designs. Today, we will appreciate a Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini collaboration watch – Excalibur Huracán watch. Now, come and enjoy the details of the watch with me: (watch model: RDDBEX0829)
Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini have been cooperating since 2017 and have launched a lot of cooperation models. The Excalibur Huracán watch above is inspired by Lamborghini’s Huracán (“Calf”). The oscillating weight that resembles the rim and the movement originating from the pull rod in the engine room of the supercar are in this square-inch timepiece. Perfectly displayed.
This Excalibur Huracán watch is made of black DLC-coated titanium alloy, which is not only light in texture, but its dull black appearance gives the watch a domineering and handsome charm. The case and bezel are made of this material, and the bezel is also equipped with the iconic triangular pit pattern of the King series, which is highly recognizable.
The crown resembles the shape of a super sports car wheel nut. All details are inspired by sports car elements. The fashion watch is equipped with a rubber strap, which is lined with Alcantara® Alcantara material.
The bottom of the watch also adopts a back-through design. Through the bottom cover, we can clearly appreciate many supercar elements: the oscillating weight is designed to imitate the rim of a supercar, and the RD630 movement inside it is Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini. The second movement jointly developed by the sports department, the upper plywood of the movement comes from the “engine room lever” design of the V10 engine of the Huracán supercar. At the same time, this movement is equipped with a double barrel, which can provide the watch with 60 hours of power reserve.
To sum up, the design of this all-black Excalibur Huracán watch is very good. Not only does the overall shape give a strong sense of impact, but its details perfectly integrate the design elements of supercars, interpreting the car in its unique way. A fusion of aesthetics, timepieces and supercars.
