Roger Dubuis Rubber Strap Watches

Swiss watchmaker Maurice Lacroix has paired up with tennis champ Roger Federer to create three Roger Federer-brandedspecial editions. The one shown here, which Federer wore at Wimbledon, is the Masterpiece Croneo COSC. It has astainless steel case and a silver dial with both the Maurice Lacroix and Roger Federer namse, luminous hands and achronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters, weekday and date indication, small seconds. The other two watches inthe collection reflect the different sides of Federer. The Miros Chronograph is sporty and has a crown in the shape ofa tennis ball and a caseback decorated with a tennis ball design and Federer's signature in red on the back. The thirdwatch, my personal favorite is the Pontos Small Seconds edition. It has the Roger Federer name on the dial and thesignature of the Swiss tennis star on the crystal caseback.  It is the most elegant and understated of thethree.

In 2011, Roger Dubuis is pleased to debut its Excalibur Lady watch collection. The seductive lady�s watches demonstrate elegant dials created in pure Roger Dubuis style. They are animated by in-house mechanical movements crowned by the prestigious Poincon de Geneve quality hallmark. The case of the new Roger Dubuis watches measures 36mm in diameter and is sculptured in steel, white gold or rose gold. The collection also comprises diamond-decorated models. The case construction of the new lady�s watch features the signature indented bezel and triple lugs of the Excalibur collection. The elegant dial is completed with originally tapered Roman numerals contrasting nicely with the satin sunburst surface of the dial. The rose gold version of the Excalibur Lady watch has a bezel embellished with 48 diamonds. The timepiece is 30-meter water-resistant.The Excalibur Lady accommodates a self-winding mechanical movement synonymous to Fine Watchmaking - Caliber RD821. The 168-part, 33-jewel movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 48-hour power-reserve.Besides the Poincon de Geneve, the movement has also won the COSC-chronometer certification, a guarantee of its precision and reliability. It animates hour and minutes functions, as well as small seconds presented at 6 o'clock.
