Since the founding of Roger Dubuis in 1995, two famous initial collections were born: the classic and minimalist round Hommage series, and the bolder Sympathie series with its pointed cushion-shaped case. The Sympathie series later became the brand's signature design, while the Hommage chronographs are still considered among Roger Dubuis' most collectible timepieces. Besides its design, another iconic feature of Roger Dubuis is the first double retrograde perpetual calendar module developed by Roger Dubuis in collaboration with Jean-Marc Widrecht. While this design may seem commonplace today, it was truly groundbreaking at the time. Best Breitling Superocean Heritage clone watches online, buy replica watches at firstwatchclone.co.
This new Hommage perpetual calendar not only perfectly recreates two iconic features from Roger Dubuis' history, but also boasts an understated and refined overall style. The 38mm diameter, 11mm thick rose gold case is rounded, simple, and exquisitely crafted, exuding a traditional charm. The smooth, polished bezel features an elegant concave profile, while the mirror-polished, beveled lugs contrast sharply with the lightly brushed case sides. Although its overall design is consistent with the brand's style from 30 years ago, it has been optimized for modern aesthetics. The lugs are shorter and thinner, achieving a relaxed yet confident and assertive presence. Therefore, strictly speaking, it is not a dress watch, but rather a luxurious casual watch more suitable for everyday wear.
This watch's perpetual calendar function benefits from the RD72 module, first introduced in 1999. Despite using known technological foundations, Roger Dubuis remade half of the components, including the bridges, gears, and plates. This module, paired with the RD14 base movement, forms the RD1472 movement used in this watch. This movement comprises 307 parts, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, has a 48-hour power reserve, and features a swan-neck regulator. The movement's finishing incorporates 15 entirely hand-finished techniques to ensure compliance with the stringent standards of the Geneva Seal.
