Hearts race hard and fast at the sight of the RD630 calibre elevated by CCF, a high-technology material inspired by other ground-breaking industries. Roger Dubuis saw the ingenuity of aerospace’s use of CCF in the production of space rockets and from there went on to develop its own CCF material after months of research and development. Representing the Maison’s technical prowess and desire to charter new ground, the independent Manufacture found that combining resin with resistant ceramic fibres could produce an entirely new and exceptionally light material twenty per cent lighter than carbon and with a distinctive white marble-effect. Not only does this lightness make it exceptionally comfortable to wear on the wrist, it also takes design to its epic extremes. Used to create its white case and as embellishment within the movement itself, the new Excalibur Spider Huracán is a veritable feat of innovation and adrenaline in a single timepiece.

Powered by an automatic RD630 calibre, the 45-mm diameter Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracán is inspired by the Lamborghini Huracán. With a honeycomb motif made famous by the supercar, the hexagonal dashboard of the Lamborghini Huracán is reflected in the timepiece. Twin barrels and a 12° tilted balance wheel represent the movement signature associated with Lamborghini Squadra Corse. When seen from the back, the semi-skeletonized movement shows the 360° oscillating rim weight that reproduces the like-for-like speed effect of a Huracán wheel rim. A crown inspired by the supercar’s racing nuts is paired with an upper calibre strut-bar design bridge reminiscent of those found on the Lamborghini Huracán V10 engine itself. A Quick Release System on the buckle and strap ensures the watch is easily interchangeable.
The watch’s upper flange and hands are filled with Super-Luminova. The same material is also used in the timepiece’s tilted surfaces, deposited on the strut-bars thanks to an innovative process first used in a Roger Dubuis world-premiere last year. Likewise, a vulcanization process known as SuperBiwiNova melts Super-Luminova directly inside of the watches’ white rubber inlay strap to create an impressive finish.
