Roger Dubuis Excalibur Skeleton Tourbillon RDDBEX0838

42mmSuper Clone Watch

Original price was: $2,599.00.Current price is: $1,599.00.

If you want the Excalibur tourbillon look with the right visual drama on the wrist, this is the version to focus on. The deciding details are the true flying tourbillon at 7 o’clock, the sharply notched 42mm titanium alloy case, and the blue skeleton dial with matching blue strap that gives this watch a colder, more technical presence than darker monochrome variants. NEWF’s lighter case execution is also a meaningful advantage over heavier alternatives. The detailed description matters here because this watch is bought on movement layout, weight, and finishing cues.

The blue astral skeleton is what changes the whole watch

This RDDBEX0838 stands out immediately because the skeleton architecture is not presented in a neutral black or grey scheme. Here, the openworked star bridge layout sits over a vivid blue chapter ring and matching blue structural accents, then continues into a blue integrated strap. That combination gives the Excalibur case a more contemporary, technical character and makes the polished hands and bright hour markers read clearly against a very busy dial. If you are choosing between skeleton tourbillons that can look impressive in photos but confused on the wrist, this stronger blue contrast is one of the reasons this piece earns attention.

The dial furniture stays faithful to the Excalibur idea: bold applied markers around the flange, broad central hands, and an exposed lower-left tourbillon opening that becomes the visual anchor of the watch. The result is dramatic, but still legible enough for regular wear.

A real flying tourbillon at 7 o’clock, not a simple open-balance display

The most important technical point in this watch is the movement itself. It uses a clone RD512SQ manual-wind movement with a fully functional flying tourbillon positioned at 7 o’clock. That matters because many watches in this style imitate the look of a tourbillon with a visible balance area, while this one is built around a true rotating escapement. For a collector who knows what to look for, that changes the appeal completely: you are not just buying an openworked case design, you are buying a movement layout with an active mechanical focal point.

The movement offers approximately 36 hours of power reserve and is hand-wound through the crown. Hours and minutes remain the primary display, allowing the tourbillon and skeletonized bridge work to stay visually dominant instead of being crowded by extra complications. If your priority is mechanical theater first and everyday date or chronograph utility second, this is exactly the right balance.

Why this 42mm NEWF build deserves attention

The 42mm case is specified in titanium alloy, with a stated weight of 98.2g. On a watch with this much architecture and visual mass, that lighter overall build is a real buying point because it keeps the Excalibur shape from feeling top-heavy. The case profile also benefits from the brand’s aggressive geometry: angular lugs, exposed side structure, and a deeply notched bezel that gives the front view constant light play.

NEWF is worth mentioning here for one specific reason: this execution is positioned as a lighter alternative to heavier versions often associated with steel-based builds. On a skeleton tourbillon, that difference is not abstract. It affects how balanced the watch feels after a full day on the wrist and helps this large visual design remain practical to wear.

Case finishing and strap integration make the design believable

The bezel is described as fluted titanium alloy with alternating brushed and polished finishing, and the side view supports the sharp, faceted case treatment. You can see the contrast between brushed surfaces and polished edges clearly around the mid-case and lugs, which is essential on an Excalibur because flat finishing would make the case lose its sculptural depth.

The front crystal is sapphire with colorless AR coating, helping the dial stay readable despite the many polished bridge and hand surfaces underneath. The strap is an integrated blue rubber style fitted tightly to the triple-lug case, and it closes with a folding deployant clasp. Visually, that integrated fit is important: a skeleton Excalibur should look continuous from case to strap, not like a generic round case placed on an aftermarket band. Here the transition is clean and keeps the watch looking purpose-built.

Who this RDDBEX0838 suits best

This is the right choice for someone who wants the Excalibur formula at its most architectural: open dial, visible mechanics, sharp case geometry, and a functioning tourbillon as the centerpiece. The blue execution makes it especially appealing if you want something less stealthy than a monochrome skeleton watch but still serious enough for an experienced collector.

It is not a quiet watch and it is not meant to disappear under a cuff. It is for the buyer who appreciates how the notched bezel, star-shaped bridge layout, manual-wind interaction, and lightweight titanium alloy case all work together. If those details are what draw you to the reference, this version makes a convincing case for itself.

Buyer Q&A

Questions about this Roger Dubuis watch

Is the opening at 7 o’clock a real tourbillon or just an exposed balance display?

It is a fully functional flying tourbillon on the clone RD512SQ manual-wind movement, rotating as the actual escapement rather than serving as a decorative balance opening.

What gives this RDDBEX0838 its distinctive look compared with a darker skeleton version?

This watch pairs the Excalibur star-shaped skeleton layout with a blue flange, blue bridge accents, and a matching blue integrated strap. That gives it a brighter, more technical appearance than a monochrome skeleton execution.

What clasp style does this watch use?

It is fitted with an integrated rubber strap and a folding deployant clasp.
