Description

That "De Bethune" blue was discovered by accident by Denis Flageollet, who was attempting to heat treat titanium balance wheels to reduce instability and, in the process, found that when heated over 700º Celcius, titanium took on this almost cosmic color. That color has come back time and time again in different forms and dials, but the real standout is the brand's "Kind of Blue" releases, which, in person, are – nearly from top to bottom – one of the most strikingly blue watches you'll ever see.

De Bethune is revisiting its classics and reasserting its identity codes through the DB28 collection, a strongly identifiable timepiece endowed with the signature House style features and conveying its resolutely avant-garde vision of the watchmaking art. The wearer comfort of the DB28 stems from the surprising lightness, and to the presence of “floating lugs”, a patented system that easily adjusts to the size of the wrist and its various movements.

Blending the timeless elegance of the DB28XP with the captivating charm of the DB28 Kind of Blue to create the new DB28XP Kind of Blue, an exceptional timepiece that embodies the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
