Lot Essay
Visually outstanding, the striking contrast of black and gold echoes the legendary and iconic John Player Special Lotus F1 racing colors, paying homage to one of the most famous motorsport liveries of the 1970s.
Made in a limited edition of only 50 pieces, the chic styling of the DB27 Titan Hawk JPS ensures it is equally suited as a casual everyday wearer or as a highly sophisticated and ultra-smart evening dress watch. The black ‘microlight’-decorated dial features gold Roman hour numerals, Arabic minute markers, and matching two-tone sandblasted De Bethune-designed hands.
Cased in polished black zirconium, which subtly shifts in color from dark gray to jet black under different lighting, the middle section of the case band is decorated with De Bethune’s signature ‘microlight’ pattern. The short-version ‘floating’ lugs, patented by De Bethune in 2006, are also crafted from black brushed zirconium with yellow titanium inserts. A tinted sapphire crystal display back reveals the AUTOV2 automatic movement, allowing its beauty and technical virtuosity to be fully admired. With hand-crafted finishing and decoration, as well as a 60-hour power reserve, the movement features De Bethune’s 2016 patented titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a balance spring with a flat terminal curve (patented in 2006), a steel escape wheel, and an optimized oscillating weight in titanium and white gold.
