Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon Black 45mm Men Manual

The first thing to discuss about this Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon is not only the movement or the dramatic dial layout, but how the strap and clasp setup shape the watch’s real daily feel. High-complication sports watches often look aggressive yet wear stiffly. This men’s manual-wind mechanical watch takes a different route visually: a white rubber strap with black center detail softens the contact points on the wrist, while the openworked Excalibur architecture keeps the piece visually light even when the design language is bold.

As a sports watch, this Roger Dubuis model mixes race-inspired styling with haute horlogerie theater. The Pirelli collaboration is important context, but on the wrist the comfort story starts with the strap. White rubber is a striking choice against the black case and skeletonized black dial, yet it also changes how the watch feels over long hours. Rubber has natural give, and that matters on an angular case design like the Excalibur, where the notched bezel, pronounced crown, and sculptural lugs create visual tension. The strap acts as the balancing element.

The white rubber strap adds contrast and a sport-focused wearing experience.

Visually, the watch is unmistakably part of the Excalibur family. The grey notched bezel with engraved numerals frames the skeletonized black dial in a way that feels technical rather than decorative. Roger Dubuis has long used openworked architecture as a signature, and here it serves both aesthetics and legibility. The dial is busy by conventional standards, but color placement keeps it coherent. Red-tipped hands pull the eye quickly to the reading points, and yellow hour markers add a sharp motorsport accent without overwhelming the black and grey base.

The skeletonized dial shows layered construction with vivid red and yellow accents.

The openworked tourbillon display is the visual center of gravity. On a watch named Double Flying Tourbillon, the movement is not treated as something hidden beneath a dial. It is the dial. The front sapphire crystal reveals a deep mechanical landscape, with negative space doing as much work as the bridges and structures themselves. Because this is a manually wound piece, the owner is invited into a more deliberate relationship with the watch. Winding becomes part of the routine, and that routine feels more natural when the watch is pleasant to remove, hold, and refit on the wrist.

Openworked mechanics dominate the front view and emphasize the tourbillon display.

That brings the focus back to ergonomics. The case is listed here as 45mm, which puts it firmly in modern statement-watch territory for men, but comfort is not only about diameter. A watch with an integrated visual flow from lugs to strap can wear more naturally than a smaller watch with awkward strap drop. The white rubber strap appears substantial enough to visually support the case, while the black center detail ties it back to the case and dial so it does not feel disconnected. This is a useful design decision: sporty contrast without making the strap seem like an afterthought.

Case-side detailing shows the athletic stance of the Excalibur Spider profile.

The clasp side of any luxury sports watch is easy to overlook in photos, yet it can define whether the watch feels secure or irritating after several hours. With a rubber-strap configuration like this, the expectation is a close, planted fit rather than the sliding feel that heavier bracelet watches sometimes produce. For daily wear, that matters. A double flying tourbillon watch is visually complex enough; it benefits from a strap system that reduces fuss. The likely result is a watch that stays centered better during movement, especially compared with stiffer exotic straps or full metal bracelets that can fight the case shape.

The side angle highlights the large crown and angular lugs.

Another strength of the strap choice is temperature adaptability. Rubber generally feels less formal than leather, but on a watch rooted in motorsport design that is exactly the point. The Pirelli association is not there just for branding. It supports the idea of grip, traction, and performance material language. On this watch, the white strap becomes a practical contrast to the dark case while also making the whole piece feel less visually dense on the wrist. That is an underrated comfort feature: a watch that looks less top-heavy often feels less fatiguing over time.

The black case and white strap create a strong racing-inspired contrast.

From the front, the grey bezel with engraved numerals adds another ergonomic benefit in visual terms. It creates a clear outer boundary around an otherwise highly open dial. Without that bezel definition, a skeleton watch can look chaotic. Here, the bezel works like a frame, helping the eye settle before moving inward to the hands, markers, and tourbillon architecture. The red-tipped hands are especially useful in this respect. Against a skeletonized background, clear hand visibility is essential, and Roger Dubuis uses color rather than oversized shapes to solve the problem.

The bezel numerals and color-coded hands improve visual structure on the open dial.

Turn the watch around and the movement presentation continues the same theme. Excalibur Spider models are known for displaying their skeletonized manual movements through sapphire crystals front and back, and that transparency adds to the ownership appeal. A manually wound Roger Dubuis of this type is not trying to disappear under a cuff. It is meant to be handled, examined, and appreciated from multiple angles. In practical daily use, that means the strap and clasp must cooperate. A beautiful movement is more enjoyable when taking the watch off does not feel like managing a small machine.

The rear view underscores the movement-focused design of the Excalibur Spider line.

The included smaller image files also help show how consistently the watch carries its identity across different views and scales.

In the end, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Double Flying Tourbillon stands out not only because it is a black, skeletonized, manually wound men’s sports watch with dramatic openworked mechanics, but because its wearability is intelligently supported by the strap concept. The grey notched bezel, engraved numerals, white rubber strap with black center detail, red-tipped hands, and yellow hour markers all help define a very specific character: technical, bold, and motorsport-linked. Yet the comfort angle is what makes the watch easier to imagine beyond display cases and special occasions. For a piece this visually intense, that is an important achievement.
