The Heritage

The Excalibur DBEX0945 features the Roger Dubuis RD108SQ caliber with a tourbillon escapement and a skeletonized movement. The timepiece presents hour and minute indications through a completely open structure that exposes the internal mechanics. The technical configuration includes a visible tourbillon that regulates the watch's timekeeping.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Roger Dubuis Excalibur the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Can a strap be fitted to the Roger Dubuis Excalibur DBEX0945?

No, not a standard strap: the DBEX0945 lug attachment is integrated into the case and proprietary, incompatible with traditional straight bars. However, there is a solution: a bespoke strap constructed on the watch by <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, tailored to the exact proportions of your case.

How does the bespoke strap construction work for this model?

Casati Milano measures the watch in situ, capturing the lug geometry, inclination angle, and specific dimensions of the DBEX0945. Based on these data, the strap is hand-stitched, tooled, and finished, ensuring flawless craftsmanship and aesthetic alignment with Roger Dubuis's design intent.

Which leather is recommended for a Roger Dubuis Excalibur DBEX0945?

The aggressive character and rose-gold tone of this model are enhanced by vegetable-tanned leathers with pronounced grain (aged full-grain, hand-stained vegetable-tanned) in medium-dark brown or deep black with warm undertones. Alternatively, alligator or crocodile reflect the light play of the case's skeletonised surfaces, creating refined visual symbiosis.

How long does a well-made artisanal strap last?

A strap crafted according to Casati Milano's bespoke methods, using quality vegetable leather and sartorial stitching, lasts for years with proper maintenance. Longevity depends on use, climate, and periodic leather conditioning, which significantly extends the strap's lifespan.

Why does the RD108SQ calibre make the DBEX0945 so special?

The RD108SQ calibre combines a tourbillon escapement with complete structural skeletonisation: every mechanism remains visible through front and caseback crystals, transforming the movement into a hypnotic choreography of micro-gears and spiral springs. This constructive transparency is Roger Dubuis's signature and sets it apart from conventional luxury watches.
