The history of this Roger Dubuis Easy Diver
The House of Roger Dubuis disrupted the codes of Haute Horlogerie from the early 2000s onwards. Carlos Dias’ ambition with the Easy Diver collection was clear: to create an extreme sports watch without any compromise on traditional finishing standards. This diving chronograph, bearing reference DBSE0282, perfectly embodies this bold vision. The true historical achievement of this piece lies in obtaining the Geneva Seal. Once reserved for ultra-thin dress watches, this hallmark of excellence proved that an imposing and water-resistant case could house a movement decorated according to the strictest standards of the Geneva canton. This limited edition of 888 pieces proves that robustness and extreme refinement can coexist.
Case, calibre and strap of this Easy Diver
Its imposing 46 mm case sculpted from stainless steel displays a complex architecture enhanced by carbon fibre and black rubber inserts. The sunburst black dial captures the light beneath the sapphire crystal, creating powerful reflections while offering optimal legibility thanks to luminous indexes and the large applied numeral 12. Red accents on the rehaut energise the whole and frame the chronograph counters. The sapphire caseback reveals the splendid calibre RD78. This automatic mechanical movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and guarantees a 42-hour power reserve. Its complex architecture includes 36 jewels and stands out through an off-centred micro-rotor, allowing admiration of the sumptuous Geneva stripes and perlage on the mainplate. The watch is fitted with a thick black rubber strap perfectly integrated into the case and secured by a robust steel folding clasp engraved with the collection name.
Why this Roger Dubuis watch
Acquiring a Roger Dubuis creation from this era represents a singular opportunity for enthusiasts of sophisticated mechanics. Production limited to 888 pieces worldwide makes this configuration particularly rare on the pre-owned market. Finding a sports chronograph bearing the Geneva Seal with such a level of hand-finishing is exceptional. This piece offers a striking contrast between an assertive, almost aggressive aesthetic and the absolute classicism of its internal mechanics. It will appeal to collectors seeking strong wrist presence far from conventional paths, while maintaining an uncompromising level of horological excellence.
