The New Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier & Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato Get Unleashed in Courchevel

Let us set the scene: The Huracán Sterrato made by Lamborghini is tearing through the snow-covered streets, turning heads like a rare find in a hidden stash. Meanwhile, the racing-inspired Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier from Roger Dubuis, intended for folks who understand that time is a luxury, is the perfect wrist companion.

Of course, this excursion wasn’t just your average spin around the block; it was a rare opportunity to go fast with an amazing crew and to witness the sublime intersection of power and class. It was a thrilling adventure, to say the least.

Lastly, to round out the Huracán Sterrato’s impressive specs, the 0 to 60 mph giddy-up is just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 160 mph, which results in loads of fun, unforgettable emotions, and the irrepressible urge to hit the gas repeatedly to bask in the raw power of this car.

Still, despite the Huracán’s barrage of impressive stats designed to dazzle, Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier defies quantification. It’s not about the digits; it’s all about strapping the Lamborghini experience onto your wrist.

Not only did we get to hit the road in the new Huracán, but we had it all to ourselves with only my co-pilot, the Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier, for company. But let’s back up a bit.

The Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini Squadra Corse collaboration kicked off in 2017 with a mission to blend the expertise of both brands in precision engineering, avant-garde design, and a mutual love for performance and innovation. As a result of this partnership, Lamborghini’s designers and Roger Dubuis’ watchmakers have created no fewer than five new calibres in only seven years – bold when you think about how long it takes to make a new calibre!
 

Among the calibres created under the remit of this powerful collaboration is the impressive RD630 inside the Excalibur Spider Huracán Monobalancier, which flaunts a robust 60-hour power reserve thanks to the twin barrels strategically placed between 5 and 7 o’clock acting as the watch’s fuel tanks.

Meanwhile, its rotor, which resembles a wheel ring, is a 3D marvel with mind-bending angles and finishings. Unsurprisingly, crafting this intricate piece demanded a sky-high level of expertise, a testament to Roger Dubuis’ accumulated prowess from years of crafting high-end watchmaking marvels.
 

However, it is the RD630’s balance wheel (which draws inspiration from the rev counter on the Huracán’s dashboard) that takes the prime spot on these new Excalibur Spider Monobalancier model because of its clever 12° angle. It’s a game-changer because this innovative tilt compensates for the wearer’s wrist position on a table, ensuring the balance wheel stays horizontal, enhancing performance without altering the watch’s proportions.

All contained within a 45mm black DLC titanium and titanium DLC bezel, Lamborghini’s iconic hexagonal air intake grilles have been seamlessly incorporated onto the watch, creating a sort of micro-grille on the watch that mirrors the front of the car and adding that unmistakable Lamborghini flair to your wrist.
