Roger Dubuis produces only a few specimens of each design. All the pieces that go into a timepiece are designed, made and assembled in-house. Roger Dubuis is one of only two companies specialising in luxury watches to receive the Poinçon de Genève (the top certificate of origin for watches) for every single model it has produced. Pirelli offers another example of extreme precision and technical excellence in its own field, with its premium racing tyres appearing in the world's flagship motor sports competitions and a long history of developing products in partnership with prestigious automobile makers.

Unique stylistic features and magnetic colours characterise the latest two versions of the Excalibur Spider Skeleton Automatic Pirelli, made of elegant black titanium with deep blue or bright white accents. In these Pirelli special editions bearing the Calibre 820SQ, a grooved skeleton bezel with a black DLC coating is completed by a crown overprinted in blue or white rubber. The matching strap, with blue or white stitching, celebrates the spirit of high performance representing the two prestigious brands' shared heritage, made using an exclusive Pirelli certified tyre rubber that has won motorsports competitions. The union is sealed by the legendary tread motif reproducing the profile of a Pirelli CINTURATO™ Intermediate tyre. 
Unconventional, extreme, rocketing toward the future at full speed, the new limited edition Excalibur Pirelli is an engine of time, redefining the very concept of exclusivity.
