Description

The De Bethune DB28 Kind of Gold is a very exclusive 10-piece limited edition exclusively available for the U.S. market. A watch that clearly embraces the principles and values of the manufacture, this time is fitted with a 5N rose gold round shaped middle case with a diameter 42.60 mm and a thickness of 9.20 mm, featuring the traditional short and long floating lugs in mirrored polished blued grade 5 titanium. The finish of the middle case and the floating lugs is as exceptional as it gets and the blued open worked dial and lugs create an endless symphony against the warm tones of the 5N rose gold middle case.

The blued dial in mirror polished grade 5 titanium features an hours ring with polished steel hour markers, a sunken minute rign and the signature De Bethune spherical moon-phase indication in palladium and flame-blued steel at 6 o’clock. The skeletonized polished hands this time in 5N rose gold, evoke the design of the traditional Breguet hands but with a strong modern touch. Right above the moon-phase indication, a beautifully finished blued bridge supports the elegantly finished De Bethune balance wheel and its flat-terminal curve spring. A performance indicator is located between 2 and 3 o’clock.

Flipping the watch over, reveals full and unobstructed views of the hand decorated De Bethune manual-wound calibre DB2115V4 composed of 297 parts, a self regulating twin barrel, 38 jewels, a spherical moon-phase indication accurate to a degree of one lunar day every 122 years, a snailed mainplate, Côtes De Bethune and a power reserve indicator with rose gold solar-tip shaped hand. The movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph while providing a long lasting power reserve of 6 days.
