Roger Dubuis La MonegasqueModel No: RDDBMG0005

The Roger Dubuis La Monegasque stands apart from traditional Swiss chronographs through its distinctive design language and undeniable presence on the wrist. While many luxury chronographs draw inspiration from the past, the La Monegasque takes a more contemporary approach, combining bold geometry, intricate detailing, and the confident character that has become synonymous with Roger Dubuis.

Its 44mm stainless steel case is defined by a striking cushion-shaped architecture that immediately sets it apart from more conventional round chronographs. Strong lines, sculpted surfaces and carefully executed finishing create a watch that feels substantial. The grey dial further enhances this modern aesthetic, showcasing a layered construction with contrasting textures, applied Arabic numerals and twin chronograph registers that add depth and visual intrigue. The chronograph display is thoughtfully integrated into the dial, balancing functionality with design. A tachymeter scale reinforces the watch's sporting credentials, while silver-tone dauphine-style hands maintain excellent legibility against the richly detailed backdrop. Every element feels intentional, reflecting Roger Dubuis' ability to combine technical watchmaking with a distinctive artistic identity.

Powering the watch is the automatic Roger Dubuis Calibre RD680, a sophisticated movement offering a 52-hour power reserve. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the calibre provides enthusiasts with a view of the mechanics behind the watch's chronograph functionality, adding another layer of appreciation for the craftsmanship within. Completing the package is a leather strap that complements the watch's refined yet contemporary character without distracting from the bold design of the case and dial.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos. Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card. A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements. We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
