Roger Dubuis Replica collection has produced another record-breaking timekeeper. The newcomer, like the two previous times, is the thinnest timepiece in the world for its category. It is currently the thinnest mechanical self-winding piece available on the market. Octo Finissimo Automatic is a flat caliber with a thickness of just 2.23mm.Roger Dubuis Replica This beats the previous record by Piaget, by up to 8mm. The piece can have a profile of only 5.25 mm. The watch has a simple design and is also set in a case made of titanium. This gives it a formal, masculine look. The price of the new Octo Finissimo clockkeeper varies depending on the attachment. It ranges from $11,900 to $12,900.
In-House Caliber 138 Sets New Record Roger Dubuis Replica series is where the Italian brand has already introduced two ultra-thin timepieces that were unmatched in their respective categories (the world's flattest minute repeater and tourbillion). Baselworld 2017 saw the addition of another record piece to the collection, which was much simpler than the two previous pieces. It is still a major achievement, as it breaks the record of the thinnest automatic watches with its BVL 138 calibre. The movement of the Piaget Altiplano with its 1208P calibre is easily beaten by 8 mm.
The Swiss Le Sentier facilities developed and produced the proprietary movement, which is based on a previous hand-wound BVL 128 movement (which is also very thin). This movement was extensively remodeled to adapt it for a different type of piece. These include a micro-rotor to allow automatic winding and a new mainspring. The new BVL 138, with its 36 integrated jewels, operates at a slower rate of 3 Hz. It has a power reserve of up to 60 hours. This is a lot for an automatic watch (Breitling Replica), let alone for incredibly thin piece. The most noticeable decorations are the Geneva striping and anglage, which can be seen on the back of the watch.
Roger Dubuis Replica has a titanium housing that is recognizable and allows for the watch to be very light. The material was sandblasted for a more appealing finish. The 40 mm housing has a sapphire crystal on each side and a bezel that is fixed. The basic water resistance is 30 meters.
The dial matches the gray case of this newcomer and is quite simple. The black sword-shaped hands and hour markers are complemented by two Arabic numerals (top and bottom) and black baton hour markers. A small seconds counter is also visible in the unusual lower left corner of the dial. This is so that it sits directly above the seconds wheel to make the piece as thin as possible.
