There was a double tourbillon \u2014 the famed twin rotating escapements of the brand \u2014<\/a> and a time-only automatic, with the micro-rotor that features in so many Roger Dubuis movements. These pieces were paired with straps made partially of rubber taken from race-winning Pirelli tyres, and bright blue accents on the crown, dial-crystal gasket, dial flange, barrel bridge and hands.<\/p>\n Now, I know zero things about cars and motorsports in general, but I asked Google and it told me that Pirelli tyres are colour coded and blue specifically identifies its range of Formula 1 tyres that are specifically for wet weather. That blue should be the colour chosen to distinguish the first Roger Dubuis Pirelli watches is entirely appropriate to me, since the Excalibur Spider represents the same kind of powerful yet stripped-down engineering principles that go hand-in-hand with high-performance racing tyres.<\/div><\/div> Now, Roger Dubuis have released another two models in partnership with Pirelli, swapping out the blue accents with yellow or red \u2014 the two colours that make up the Pirelli logo.<\/p>\n The Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton Yellow and the Excalibur Spider Pirelli Automatic Skeleton Red are being launched right now at the 2017 Run To Monaco, which takes place from May 23 with Bordeaux as an origin point and culminating at the Monaco Grand Prix.<\/p>\n What I really want to know, however, is whether we can expect to see the watches featured in the next Pirelli calendar. Fine watches and gorgeous women \u2014 that\u2019s something to get the pulse racing. We at Revolution know one or two things about that.<\/div><\/div>
