whatsappDescription
The dial is the primary feature of the watch, as is the case with many of De Bethune's DB models. The DB28xs' dial is composed of polished and blued grade 5 titanium, surfaced with a "random guilloché" pattern (De Bethune claims this is the first in the world), and finished with a series of white-gold stars that seem to float on the wavy surface of the dial. Thus, Starry Seas.
The DB28XS was designed primarily to satisfy collectors' demands for a scaled-down version of the watch. The mission has been completed. De Bethune produced a thinner watch by reducing the caliber DB2005 to fit a smaller diameter by eliminating the moonphase and power reserve indicator of the normal DB28. The XS reduces the thickness of the core DB28 "Kind of Blue" to 9mm from 11.4mm.
