Such exceptional, hand-finished mechanics are rewarded with the Poinçon de Genève, one of the most demanding certification in fine watchmaking.
with hyper-tech materials
The Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT celebrates a momentous anniversary while binding the partners through their common interest in innovative materials. Bringing this shared fascination to their latest creation, the case and bezel of the 45mm Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT are crafted from pure white Mineral Composite Fibre (MCF). Owned exclusively by Roger Dubuis, this hyper-tech material is a true demonstration of technical mastery. Thanks to a process known as Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), silica is engineered in a way that produces MCF. 13% lighter than SMC carbon, its lightness makes it extremely comfortable to wear on the wrist, while its sturdy structure enables the creation of intricate designs.
A dedicated celebration design
From case to skeleton, bracelet, and iconic astral signature, the Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT is dressed in stunning white. A first for a timepiece from the Excalibur Spider Pirelli collection, the shade was chosen specifically to stand out and honour the significance of Pirelli’s landmark occasion.
As a dedicated celebration design, the timepiece includes additional unexpected features, such as the bezel, logo, and hour markers’ ability to glow in the dark with SuperLuminova™* technology. Likewise, the distinctive Pirelli 150
th anniversary logo featured on the strap also shines at night thanks to Superbiwinova™*.
Making the timepiece even more remarkable, the inner design of the strap displays the recognisable Pirelli CinturatoTM pattern, as well as their unforgettable motto
“power is nothing without control”.
Knowing every minute counts on and off the track for the Roger Dubuis x Pirelli tribe, the new Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT features an interchangeable strap, crown, and bezel – all with a simple click. Just as swift changes are crucial in the world of motorsports, this Quick Release System ensures the timepiece can be switched up and customised in no time. The 3 additional kits in shades Oro, Silver, and Red feature Pirelli’s distinctive iconic curved lines in a stylish nod to its motorsports alter ego. While these design details allow the wearer to decide what look best suits their mood, they also honour the official colours of Pirelli’s 150
th anniversary.
