Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Carbon (Updated with Live Photos and Price)

However, the brand’s many male fans still found a few new timepiece made with them in mind, notably the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Carbon.The new watch continues the skeleton theme that dominated last year’s SIHH output from Roger Dubuis (more on which here).
