Roger Dubuis and Pirelli Unveil Excalibur Spider Pirelli Monotourbillon (MT) to Commemorate The 150th Anniversary of Pirelli

Celebrating 150 Years of Exceptional Performance

The most recent Roger Dubuis x Pirelli timepiece is a blazing example of flexible design constructed with horological excellence and high-tech materials, and it is loaded with racing rules. The new masterpiece is a tribute to Pirelli's 150 years of history, innovation, and passion. It is the result of a long-standing collaboration between a tyre performance pioneer and a serial horological designer. As the Singapore Grand Prix flag was hoisted, it was revealed.

The engines commence operation. The crowd applauds enthusiastically. Roger Dubuis x Pirelli will unveil the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Monotourbillon in celebration of Pirelli's 150th anniversary (MT).

Motivated by a desire to create adrenaline-charged masterpieces, the partners once again illustrate what happens when the finest minds from a variety of fields combine their unparalleled knowledge, pioneering research, and boundless creativity.

THRILLING MECHANICS, RAGING PERFORMANCES

The new Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT is a product of Pirelli and Roger Dubuis' mutual passion for excellence and innovation, which drives their quest of hyperperformance.

Roger Dubuis's highly-skilled watchmakers incorporate the Maison's famed Monotourbillon into the new sports masterpiece as they continue to push the edge in pursuit of their ambitious goal. This amazing achievement of intricate mechanics is located at 7 o'clock, Roger Dubuis' signature position.

The masterpiece also has a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock that mimics a fuel gauge on an automobile. With a 60-hour power reserve, the lucky owner of this watch can sprint through the whole weekend without stopping.

The Poinçon de Genève, one of the most rigorous certifications in fine watchmaking, is granted to such excellent hand-finished movements.

TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE USING HIGH-TECH MATERIALS

The Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT honours a significant milestone while uniting the partners via their mutual enthusiasm for developing innovative materials. The 45mm Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT case and bezel are crafted from pure white Mineral Composite Fibre to express this shared enthusiasm (MCF). Roger Dubuis is the exclusive owner of this hyper-tech material, which is a true demonstration of technical prowess. MCF is produced by modifying silica using a process known as Sheet Molding Compound (SMC). It is 13% lighter than SMC carbon, making it very comfortable to wear on the wrist, yet its stiff structure enables the fabrication of intricate designs.

A SPECIFIC CELEBRATION PLAN

The case, skeleton, bracelet, and astral signature of the Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT are embellished with a brilliant white finish. As a first for the Excalibur Spider Pirelli range, the colour was chosen to stand out and recognise the significance of Pirelli's landmark event.

As an unique commemorative design, the watch has additional surprises, such as a glow-in-the-dark bezel, logo, and hour markers made possible by SuperLuminovaTM* technology. Similarly, the famous Pirelli 150th anniversary symbol on the strap illuminates at night due to SuperbiwinovaTM *.

Adding to the watch's originality, the inner design of the band has the recognisable Pirelli CinturatoTM pattern and their lasting phrase, "power without control is meaningless."

SWITCH LOOKS IN SECONDS

Knowing that every second counts on and off the track for the Roger Dubuis x Pirelli family, the new Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT has a detachable strap, crown, and bezel with a single click. This Quick Release System enables the watch to be switched out and customised in a jiffy, similar to how racing requires fast adjustments. The three additional kits in Oro, Silver, and Red replicate the trademark curved contours of Pirelli's motorsports iteration. These design features honour the official colours of Pirelli's 150th anniversary in addition to enabling the user to choose the style that best suits their mood.

The 8-piece limited edition Excalibur Spider Pirelli MT has an expressive blend of new mechanics, rich materials, and a flexible design to honour a significant milestone for the Maison's loyal partner. The timepiece continues to prove that Roger Dubuis is and has always been the most exciting way to experience Hyper HorologyTM.

Roger Dubuis is not the owner of the SuperLuminovaTM and Superbiwinova trademarks.
