De Bethune DB28 Manual Wind Avant-Garde Titanium Silver Dial

The De Bethune DB28TIS5C6BS presents an extraordinary blend of avant-garde horology and refined craftsmanship. Housed in a mirror‑polished grade 5 titanium case measuring 42.6 mm in diameter and a slender 9.3 mm in thickness, this manual‑wind masterpiece features the iconic floating lugs and a crown at 12 o’clock, ensuring both comfort and a distinctive silhouette. Powering the watch is the in‑house calibre DB2115.263, delivering an impressive six‑day (144‑hour) power reserve, with an indicator discreetly located on the case back. The dial is a study in technical elegance, featuring a silver chapter ring with spherical hour markers, blued skeletonized hands, an exposed balance, and a three‑dimensional moonphase accurate to one lunar day every 122 years. This model embodies De Bethune’s signature innovations—from the silicon escape wheel and titanium balance with white‑gold inserts to the triple pare‑chute shock‑absorbing system—making it a compelling acquisition for collectors who value independent watchmaking, technical ingenuity, and sculptural design.
