The Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier pays homage to the legendary racing colors of the 1980s and 90s. The iconic fusion of red, white, and blue encapsulates the spirit of Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s emblematic racing livery. This timepiece is a testament to Roger Dubuis’ commitment to innovation, driven by their partnership with Lamborghini.

At the core of the Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier lies the innovative RD630 Calibre, a result of the marriage between visionary engineers and meticulous watchmakers. This high-powered movement boasts a 60-hour power reserve and takes inspiration from the aerodynamic shape of supercar air intakes. The caliber’s design features twin barrels positioned between 5 and 7 o’clock, a distinctive hallmark of Roger Dubuis’ Huracán watches.

The most audacious aspect of the movement is the tilted balance wheel at 12 o’clock. Mirroring a supercar’s rev counter view, this unique design element maintains the balance wheel’s horizontal position, regardless of the wearer’s wrist orientation. The 12° angle enhances both performance and aesthetics, with the oscillations of the balance wheel visible through the sapphire crystal case back.

Roger Dubuis’ attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier. The case is crafted from black DLC Titanium, ensuring durability and protection for the caliber. The bezel, made from Mineral Composite Fibre (MCF), is both lightweight and resilient, echoing the spirit of modern supercar engineering.

The watch’s crown takes inspiration from Lamborghini’s wheel nut, with a red racing stripe and winglets for a secure grip. The caseback showcases the Excalibur Huracán logo, reinforcing the watch’s emblematic connection. The Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier’s strap is designed with blue with red perforations, featuring calfskin leather inlays and the pattern of a Pirelli Trofeo R tyre on the underside’s black rubber.

Limited to just 88 pieces, the Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier encapsulates the dynamic essence of supercar racing.
