The history of this Roger Dubuis Hommage
The Hommage collection was launched in 1995 at the very beginnings of the Geneva manufacture. It embodies a tribute to the master watchmakers of past centuries by reviving classical aesthetic codes such as deep guilloché work and elongated Roman numerals. In 2014, the House redesigned this line to pay direct tribute to its founder. Reference DBHO0569 perfectly illustrates this intimate approach. A strong technical and emotional detail distinguishes this chronograph, as the handwritten signature of Mr Roger Dubuis is directly metallised onto the sapphire crystal of the caseback. This detail symbolically links the creator to the cutting-edge mechanics beating at the heart of the watch.
Case, calibre and strap of this Hommage
The 42 mm case crafted in rose gold stands out through its entirely polished finish and its bold concave lugs. It frames a sumptuous two-tone dial featuring a deeply sunburst silver-grey centre and an anthracite outer ring. The display relies on elegant openworked rose gold hands gliding above 2 finely snailed sub-counters. This face houses the automatic calibre RD680. This chronograph movement is composed of 261 components including 44 jewels and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The integration of a tungsten micro-rotor allows the overall thickness to remain refined while opening the view onto the remarkable hand-finishing certified by the Geneva Seal. The power reserve extends to 52 hours. Water resistance of 3 bar protects this complex mechanism. The ensemble is fitted to the wrist with a hand-stitched brown alligator leather strap secured by a rose gold pin buckle.
