Top 2 La Monegasque watches by Roger Dubuis

With the several different watch designs that Roger Dubuis watches have available in their boutiques and even online, the La Monegasque collection is their most elite collection so far. The top 2 watches within the La Monegasque watch collection are listed below.

1.    Chronograph with micro-rotor

This watch is amongst a unique Roger Dubuis watches’ designs. Starting from the black, alligator skin leather strap, the strap has a very different design; it has bumps/ bubbles which gives it a very different look than the other Roger Dubuis watches that have been designed so far.

The case is a rose gold colour but it has a square shape with all the four faces of the square being a bit curved. The inside of the dial includes a lot of different features and a unique design as well. There are many layers within this dial. Going from the outside to the inside of this watch, the first layer includes the tachymeter which has a maximum value of 500.

The second layer includes the seconds’ markings. The third layer displays the hourly markings which have a very different display design. Each hourly marking has a rose gold background while the number itself is written with black. The 12-hour mark is not included in this layer, instead of that the company name “Roger Dubuis” is printed. The centre of the dial is a wooden texture detailing with the 12-hour mark and 2 subdials. One subdial displays 30 minutes of an hour while the other one displays 60 seconds of a minute.

2.    Perpetual calendar

This is yet another beautiful design by Roger Dubuis watches. With a similarly shaped dial to that of the micro-rotor watch design, this watch also has a black, alligator skin strap. The inside of the dial is what is interesting about this watch. The dial outline of the watch includes the second's markings. The hourly markings are placed on a background of rhodium plated silver background, with the markings in rose gold fitted in steel grey squares.

The Roger Dubuis brand name is printed on the top. Within this layer, there is another layer in dark steel grey with the 12-hour mark and a leap year feature below the 3-hour mark. Right below the 12-hour mark is the perpetual calendar feature which shows the day of the week along with the month of the year. This watch includes two subdials within the design of the dial both of which are placed right beside each other. The subdial on the right displays the dates of the month.

The second subdial displays the moon phase feature which is basically placed within the dial so that it can inform about the size and shape of the moon currently, depending on which time of the month it is. This watch uses a total of 358 components which bring together this magnificently designed watch. To add to that, this watch can resist till the 50m mark.
