It is a considerably rare event to spot a Roger Dubuis timepiece in the wild, but I managed to catch one during this year's BaselWorld 2015: thanks to its owner, a fellow Purist, a red-tipped EasyDiver ChronoExcel got into my hands, a sports watch with si...  

Thanks a lot for this great review!

This is really a special watch and to be honest with you, I was not seduced by it when it was introduced. With time, I have started to understand it better and of course, who can resist to the charm of the superlative RD78 movement? Thanks for this great ...

An outstanding (and very pretty!) movement packed into a case which is 'sporty' - but yet has a lot of subtle refinements one would not necessarily expect with a sports watch. This is the secret of the EasyDiver, and - as you correctly said - it take some...
