The Excalibur Bi-Retrograde Calendar by Roger Dubuis

This year, Roger Dubuis celebrates its 30th anniversary, and for the occasion, the company pays tribute to its co-founder’s favourite complication: the bi-retrograde display.

This function, previously featured in the Excalibur Grande Complication alongside a dozen other highly complex mechanisms, takes centre stage once again. The Maison has also introduced a less complicated, more classic edition to further honour the bi-retrograde display.

Also referred to as “the ecliptic counters” by the Maison a nod to their elliptical shape and distinctive role in indicating the months and date the design showcases a symmetrical dial layout. Enhanced by refined detailing, it pays homage to the Maison’s early creations from 1996.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, which is arguably the most famous chronograph in the world, gained a huge popularity among watch enthusiasts, as it tells a story of innovation, style, and a strong connection to the world of motorsports since its name is taken from the Daytona race track in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States.

Amidst the flurry of novelties unveiled by Rolex during Watches & Wonders 2024, the "Le Mans" White Gold Daytona has been discontinued, and it's now been replaced by a yellow gold version. However, that's not all for the Daytona; Rolex is releasing two versions of the Cosmograph Daytona. One features a white dial with black counters, while the other showcases a reverse dial with a black disk and white counters.

What both timepieces have in common is the mother-of-pearl tri-compax counters and dials, and their 18k white gold 40 mm case, accentuated by a bezel adorned with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds and 8 diamonds on the indices. The new Cosmograph Daytona is powered by caliber 4131, an automatic movement with a Perpetual rotor, operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz), and offering 72 hours of power reserve.

The white version comes with an Oysterflex bracelet and a price of AED 251,000, while the other comes with an Oyster bracelet and a price of AED 286,300.
