This is the Excalibur to choose if you want the boldest version of Roger Dubuis’ skeleton tourbillon look without losing case definition. The green flange, rose-gold-tone case, and pixel-pattern rubber strap make the watch instantly recognisable, while the openworked dial keeps the flying tourbillon fully in view. Compared with plainer strap executions, this one has far more character on the wrist and a stronger match between dial accents and strap design. The detailed description matters here because this watch stands or falls on how those visible elements work together.
A green flange and pixel strap change the whole character
The first thing that decides this watch is not the case size or even the tourbillon opening. It is the way the bright green inner bezel frames the skeleton movement and then carries that color into the strap. On many skeleton pieces, the open dial does all the work and the strap feels like an afterthought. Here, the patterned green-and-black rubber strap gives the watch a much stronger identity, so it reads as a complete design rather than a standard skeleton watch with a colored accent added later.
The rose-gold-tone case keeps that boldness under control. It adds warmth against the green ring and the dark bridges, which is important because this model already has a lot happening visually. The contrast is sharp, but it is also balanced. If you are choosing between this and a more neutral Excalibur execution, that color discipline is the reason to pick this reference.
The skeleton layout keeps the watch technical, not cluttered
This RDDBEX0939 uses a skeleton dial with broad star-shaped bridge architecture and a flying tourbillon visible at the lower left side of the display. The dial remains easy to read because the rose-gold-tone hands stand apart from the darker movement structure beneath them. That matters on a watch like this. A skeleton piece can look impressive in photos and become tiring in person if the hands disappear into the movement. Here, the hand shape and tone give enough separation to preserve practical time reading.
Close views also show the watch is relying on layered contrast rather than just exposed mechanics. You get dark structural elements, silver-toned movement parts, rose-gold-tone hands and case surfaces, then the green chapter ring with exposed screws around it. That mix gives the watch depth from every angle. It is an extrovert design, but not a careless one.
Manual-wind RD509SQ and a real tourbillon display
The watch is fitted with the RD509SQ manual-winding movement and is presented with hours, minutes, and a flying tourbillon. The manual format suits this model. On a fully openworked watch, winding becomes part of the ownership experience rather than a hidden function, and that fits the mechanical feel the Excalibur line is meant to deliver. The stated 70-hour power reserve is also useful in real rotation, especially for collectors who alternate between several watches during the week.
If your main interest is seeing the mechanism rather than just owning a skeleton-style dial, this is the relevant point. The lower-left tourbillon aperture is not treated like a small accent. It is a defining visual anchor of the entire front view, and the surrounding openwork is arranged to keep it exposed.
42mm proportions with the integrated rubber look
The 42mm case gives this watch the scale most buyers looking for from an Excalibur without pushing it into oversized territory. That matters for both US and European buyers who like the sharp lugs and assertive bezel style of the line but do not want the watch to become unmanageable under regular wear. The rubber strap integrates tightly into the lugs, which helps the case wear as one continuous shape instead of a large head with a separate strap attached.
The strap itself deserves attention because it is a major part of the purchase decision. It is green rubber, but visually it is far more interesting than a plain matte strap thanks to the pixel-style surface pattern. The clasp is rose-gold-tone and keeps the metal color consistent across the watch. If you are buying this model, you are buying it as a complete color-and-shape package, not simply for the name on the dial ring.
Why this exact execution stands out
There are plenty of skeleton watches that lean on exposed movement alone. This one works because the visible elements are tied together properly: the notched Excalibur-style bezel, the green flange with exposed screws, the rose-gold-tone case and hands, the openworked movement, and the patterned rubber strap. Remove any one of those and the watch becomes less convincing.
That is why this RDDBEX0939 makes sense for the buyer who already knows the category and wants a version with a clear point of view. It is technical enough to satisfy someone shopping specifically for a skeleton tourbillon display, yet bold enough to feel distinct across the room and on the wrist.
