The Simple Diver SED Tourbillon is massive & light. The 48mm wide case is in all titanium an feels light as a feather. Give then fact that the movement is barley there, this fact makes lots of sense. In addition to the rubber strap with a titanium deployment, there is some rubber sandwiched in to the construction of the case. Everything about the watch is sporty, but also luxurious. Look closely at the slanted chapter ring around the dial you'll notice that the hour markers are rubies. cold in my view. There is a sly nature to Rober Dubuis watches that present luxury in an unapologetically pronounced manner, without the pretention that you might expect from a luxury watch company.
This limited edition Roger Dubuis Simple Diver SED Tourbillon watch has less than 300 pieces out there. Retail cost for the watch is about $125,000 but retailers are making deals! I got to check out this icy Roger Dubuis as of their authorized dealers here in CA, at Lussori in Carmel-By-The-Sea. A nice example of a wild luxury watch from an fascinating luxury watch brand.
A lot of the design ethic of Roger Dubuis watches reminds me of Versace. Both literally and figuratively. See for example the pattern on the sides of the rubber strap and you know what I mean. Roger Dubuis is also comic with their watches. There is something fun and simultaneously sully about the watch. You require to relax and take the piece not so seriously, although it does have a lot to be impressed with. It is important to appreciate the watch on various levels, technically, horologically, and artistically. You receive a hint of this sentiment by the name that Roger Dubuis places on the rear of the watch, Tourbidiver. The notion of a tourbillon in a divers watch is foolish, so you require to appreciate it for the humor in the idea. And, the watch is a true divers watch with a rotating divers bezel, as well as 300 meters of water resistance.
