The stunning new Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Italdesign Edition features a highly technical combination of shock resistant and lightweight materials, carbon and ceramic, paired with a black rubber strap with titanium adjustable double folding clasp. The watch picks up the emblematic features of Roger Dubuis skeleton watches, including their star-shaped movement design, tourbillon carriage shaped like a Celtic cross, and traditional hand-made finishing.

The Excalibur Spider Italdesign Edition is powered by the hand-wound Calibre RD505SQ, which is assembled from 197 components and 19 jewels. Finely adjusted in six positions, the skeleton movement reveals its plate and bridges circular grained and coated with NAC treatment. Small seconds are shown by the flying tourbillon carriage, which appears at 7:30 o’clock position. The movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph, and provides around 60 hours of power reserve.
