Roger Dubuis Excalibur Carbon Fiber Skeleton Dial DBEX0577
Original price was: $2,599.00.$1,659.00Current price is: $1,659.00.
This is the Excalibur to choose if you want the dramatic skeleton architecture without giving up sharp contrast on the wrist. The black carbon fiber case, white rubber strap with red stitching, and red-tipped hands make this DBEX0577 far more striking than darker all-black versions that can disappear visually. Its manually wound RD509SQ layout keeps the dial open and mechanical. The detailed description matters here because this watch lives or dies by how the movement framing, bezel shape, and strap execution come together.
Black carbon fiber against a white strap is what defines this DBEX0577
The first thing that lands with this Roger Dubuis Excalibur is the contrast. The case and bezel are rendered in black carbon fiber, while the fitted rubber strap is bright white with red stitching running along both sides. That pairing gives the watch a much harder visual edge than monochrome skeleton pieces, and it keeps the 42mm case feeling intentional rather than busy. If you are choosing among Excalibur skeleton variants, this is the one for a collector who wants the architecture to stand out immediately on the wrist.
The bezel has the aggressive notched Excalibur profile, and the dial side keeps the look technical without becoming unreadable. Red accents around the minute track and the red-outlined hand tips break up the black bridges, so you still get visual orientation at a glance. The chapter ring is signed Roger Dubuis, with the movement and lower balance area fully exposed from the front.
Why the carbon fiber case changes the character
The case material is listed as carbon fiber, and the visible finish supports that dark, patterned technical look. On this watch, carbon fiber is not only a spec line. It is part of the personality. The irregular layered texture around the bezel and case flanks gives the piece a more modern and instrument-like appearance than a smooth metal case would. That matters because the skeleton dial is already highly architectural; pairing it with carbon fiber keeps the watch cohesive instead of decorative.
There is also a practical side for buyers who want a large visual statement without the burden of a heavy-feeling wrist presence. One of the provided photos shows the watch on a scale at 77.6 grams, which helps explain why this model can wear with presence while staying relatively manageable. That will appeal to anyone comparing it to heavier sports pieces in the same broad category.
The strap and clasp keep the watch from feeling generic
The rubber strap is integrated tightly to the case and continues the black-and-white theme cleanly. The top side is white with red stitching, while the underside shows a textured pattern. This is not a strap you would want to swap casually, and that is part of the appeal. It makes the watch feel like a complete design rather than a case fitted with an afterthought band.
The clasp hardware is black, matching the case and preserving the stealthier side of the color scheme. Roger Dubuis branding is visible on the clasp, and the dark buckle assembly avoids interrupting the watch with bright metal at the back of the wrist. Together, the strap and clasp make this reference feel deliberate from end to end.
Who this exact version suits best
If you are deciding between this and a darker Excalibur skeleton on black rubber, this DBEX0577 is the better choice when you want maximum contrast and stronger visual separation between the case, movement, and strap. The white strap changes the whole personality of the watch. It makes the red accents more noticeable, sharpens the black bridge work, and gives the carbon fiber case a cleaner outline on the wrist.
For a buyer who already understands the Excalibur aesthetic, that is the point of this piece. It is not subtle, and it should not be. It is a 42mm manually wound skeleton watch built around exposed mechanics, angular carbon fiber surfaces, and a high-contrast fitted rubber strap that makes the design legible from across the room.

Buyer Q&A
Questions about this Roger Dubuis watch
Does this DBEX0577 have an automatic or manual movement?
It is sold with the RD509SQ movement designation and described as manual machinery, so this is a manually wound execution.
What makes this version stand out compared with darker Excalibur skeleton variants?
The biggest difference is the high-contrast look: black carbon fiber case and bezel, a white fitted rubber strap with red stitching, and red-tipped hands. That combination makes the skeleton layout read much more clearly on the wrist than an all-dark setup.
Is the strap integrated to the case?
Yes. The rubber strap fits tightly into the case with an integrated look rather than using a loose, conventional straight-end strap.
