Description

Without doubt one of the most striking examples of independent watchmaking. The simplicity of its dial betraying the complexity of the movement. In a final element of sophistication the moon phases aperture is displayed on the back of the watch through a 3-dimensional spherical indicator, an innovation introduced by the brand.

On the case itself, the crown at 12 o'clock and De Bethune’s hallmark bullet-shaped lugs catch the eye.

Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the caliber developed for this DBD features the patented titanium balance wheel, a De Bethune exclusive, which increases the power reserve by twenty percent (to 6 days), and the ‘triple pare-chute’ shock absorption system, a De Bethune patent too, for effective protection. Ultimately, this watch takes the codes of classic watchmaking and transposes them into the modern era.
