Roger Dubuis Excalibur DBEX0542 Size:45mm 1:1 Replica

Introducing the Roger Dubuis King Series DBEX0542 (0543) Watch
It took a full 17 months from the purchase of the original components to shipment—a process with no reference points and no precedents.

Regarding the movement, even the single small seconds sub-dial at the 9 o’clock position features a pearl-rotor movement that was custom-made exclusively for this model. Extensive effort was devoted to ensuring stability, resulting in a standard high-frequency 28,800-vibrations-per-hour movement.

The case measures 45mm in diameter and is crafted from solid titanium alloy. It features a cutting-edge polishing technique distinct from other titanium watches, elevating the precision of the titanium finish to a new level—the actual piece is even more stunning in person.
The dial is the highlight.

The dial is the standout feature of the entire watch. Its construction represents a completely new approach—unlike standard printed dials with uniform hour markers—it is assembled in three layers. The hour markers come in 30 distinct styles, with a separate mold for each one, totaling over 30 molds, all filled with Swiss-imported luminescent powder.

As for other components, starting with the strap: setting aside the alligator skin pattern for a moment, the craftsmanship utilizes alligator leather with full-edge wrapping. I believe those familiar with this know that full-edge wrapped alligator leather costs nearly twice as much as half-edge wrapped leather. Furthermore, the patterns are selected from whole, carefully chosen alligator hides, with all scraps discarded. The titanium alloy clasp overcomes the industry’s greatest challenge—the difficulty of welding and polishing titanium alloy—resulting in the finest hardware available on the market.
