2011 doesn't have a ton of new Roger Dubuis watches for women (in fact, I think it has less), but some of the new models are more polished and refined versions of the existing collection. Here is the 36mm wide Roger Dubuis Excalibur Lady. I really like this watch because it has a nice jewelry side and a nice mechanical watch side. The new dial is also symmetrical, which I think suits the Excalibur design a lot. You actually don't need to get the watch with all the diamonds - so those are optional. Plus, Roger Dubuis offers the case in steel, or white or rose gold. I don't always understand why brands offer watches in both white gold and steel, but whatever.

Inside the watch is the in-house made RD821 automatic movement. The decoration is real nice, and it is also COSC Chronometer certified for accuracy - which is really rare in watches like this. The diamond studded version of the Excalibur Lady is limited to 88 pieces, and has a massive 5.7 carats of stones on it. Because 8 is a lucky number in China, and 88 means nothing here, the amount of the limited edition pretty much tells you that Roger Dubuis expects to sell most of these in Asia.
