Excalibur Spider Huracán STO – a new hyperwatch based on the high-performance Lamborghini Huracán STO

 

 

@Roger Dubuis Excalibur Huracán STO hyperwatch

The latest fiery steed to exit Roger Dubuis’ Geneva stable is the 88-piece limited edition Excalibur Huracán STO.

Roger Dubuis watches are the most exciting way to experience Hyper Horology.

As its name implies, this distinctive new timepiece takes design cues from the livery of the power-packed  Lamborghini Huracán STO. The road-homologated super sports Huracán STO is itself inspired by the racing heritage of Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s one-make Huracán Super Trofeo EVO race series. It notably features rear-wheel drive and a V10 naturally-aspirated 640 hp engine, with the resulting acceleration and 310 km/h top  speed ensuring an emotion-charged track experience on every outing.

Meet Roger Dubuis Excalibur Huracán STO, the truly mean machine roars into life for those who live to the fullest.

Channeling the same exhilarating vibe as its automobile namesake, the 45 mm Excalibur Huracán STO is powered by an automatic RD630 calibre with a honeycomb motif. This truly mean machine roars into life with a 12° angled balance wheel combined with a 360° oscillating weight.

The latter reproduces the same kind of speed effect as a Huracán wheel and is a representation of the movement signature associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse. Topped with an upper calibre with a strut-bar design bridge reminiscent of those found on the V10 engine of the Lamborghini Huracán supercar itself, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Huracán STO is housed in a sleek carbon watch case with a black DLC titanium bezel. Setting a vibrant finishing touch is an original strap on which perforated blue calfskin leather allows a sizzling view of orange fabric overlaying a comfortable rubber inner.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight – an ode to vibrant cites like Hong Kong, Singapore and Beijing at the height of
their nightly splendour

Like the city, the Excalibur Blacklight watch transforms at the boundary between day and night: by day, this new timepiece from Roger Dubuis wreathes itself in subtle, dignified tones of white, black and grey; by night, the calibre and flange of the timepiece explode in a kaleidoscopic livery of other-worldly colours. Like the bevy of neon lights that make cities come alive after sundown, this hyper watch technology illuminates the timepiece in an explosion of
artistic creativity.

Featuring the luxury watchmaking Maison’s innovative automatic skeleton RD820SQ calibre, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Blacklight is distinguished by a web of crystalline UV-reactive sapphire micro-structures interwoven into its already impressive skeletonised calibre. It is thus that the timepiece transforms into an objet d’art.
