Last weekend had the fast and the furious tearing down Marina Bay in the annual Formula One Singapore, while the nights ensued in revelry and epic after-parties. Today, something else revs up on the proverbial race track.
Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse just unveiled the stunning new Excalibur Aventador S, in a collaboration that some say is a long time coming. Call it a meeting between the quintessential Italian flair for high-performance supercars and the signature Swiss watchmaking precision, but this collaboration is more than symbolic. The new Duotor calibre takes inspiration from two racing goddesses, the Aventador S and the HuracĂ n Super Trofeo EVO.

Both watches are powered by a hand-wound mechanical RD103SQ caliber featuring finely positioned double sprung balances, equipped with a power reserve of 40 hours. Engine strut bars come between in a stunning juxtaposition against the rest of the movement, bringing to mind a transparent engine âhoodâ. And, like the performance-enhancing longitudinal placement of Lamborghini engines, the double balance wheel is angled similarly and supported by holders resembling triangular wheel suspension assemblies. Like a charismatic Lamborghini, the watch flaunts an enigmatic power control display in the middle of the watch like a signature.

The 45 mm Excalibur Aventador S is available in two limited editions, with bezels fashioned from the carbon famously used in Lamborghini cars, overmoulded with coloured rubber. The 88-piece bears the signature Lamborghini âGiallo Orionâ yellow, while the 8-piece edition is offered in the fiery âArancio Argosâ orange.
âLike Lamborghini, we deliver âenginesâ distinguished by their extreme quality and cutting edge performance,â says Roger Dubuis CEO Jean-Marc PontrouĂŠ. âBut like the owners of such exceptional Italian hypercars, our customers are above all interested in standout aesthetics that ensure instant recognition matched by ultra-exclusivity and rarity.â
