Introduction to Lewis Tan
Lewis Tan is a British-Chinese actor and martial artist who built his reputation through physically demanding, fight-heavy roles across film and television. Born in Manchester to a martial arts family — his father is action choreographer Philip Tan — Lewis trained from childhood and parlayed that background into a screen career that spans major genre productions. He is best known for playing Lu Xin Lee in Netflix's 'Wu Assassins,' Cole Young in the 2021 'Mortal Kombat' reboot, and Gaius Chau in AMC's 'Into the Badlands.' Beyond fighting roles, he has appeared in 'Shadow and Bone' and 'Deadpool 2,' establishing himself as a credible presence across both action and dramatic work.
The Lewis Tan watch collection, as far as Watch Paparazzi has been able to document, centers on Roger Dubuis — a Geneva manufacturer known for pushing movement architecture toward the theatrical without abandoning the rigorous finishing standards demanded by the Seal of Geneva. Tan has been spotted wearing the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Monobalancier in 18-carat rose gold, reference RDDBEX0698. The piece runs a 45mm rose gold case housing the in-house caliber RD505SQ, a manually wound, fully skeletonized movement beating at 21,600 vph with roughly 60 hours of power reserve. The Monobalancier's defining technical feature is its single-arm balance wheel, a regulating system that sits visually at the center of the open-worked dial and gives the watch its name.
Choosing the Excalibur Monobalancier says something concrete about where Tan's taste sits. This is not a dress watch or a sportsman's diver — it is a high-complication, manually wound piece with obvious mechanical drama, the kind of watch that rewards someone who understands movement architecture rather than just brand recognition. For an actor whose entire career has been built on physical precision and technical discipline, the choice of a movement that makes its own mechanics the visual centerpiece feels less like a coincidence and more like a coherent preference.

The Excalibur Monobalancier carries one of the few single-balance-wheel escapements in modern haute horlogerie — a proprietary flying single-arm balance developed entirely in-house at Roger Dubuis's Geneva manufactory, where every movement holds the coveted Poinçon de Genève hallmark. The RDDBEX0698 presents that architecture in 18-carat rose gold with a fully skeletonized dial, making the mechanics impossible to ignore. Chinese-English actor Lewis Tan, known for his martial-arts-inflected film and television work, was spotted wearing the piece — a fitting match for a performer who trades in precision and spectacle.
