The present titanium De Bethune DB25V can only be described as stunning. A perfect example of De Bethune’s mission to integrate scientific advancements with mechanical and aesthetic craftsmanship.
The impressive large and very lightweight titanium case is fitted with an 1800 Vickers hardness sapphire crystal over the superb star-studded sky dial in blued and polished titanium. Hand-fitted with gold pins depicting the stars, the milky way pattern is created by laser beam micro milling which is then gilded with 24-carat gold leaf. The star constellation can be customized to show the night-sky at the owner’s location. Such is its beauty that it is hard not be seduced by both the striking aesthetic and De Bethune’s extraordinary level of finish and innovation.
The display back reveals the distinctive movement with grade 5 titanium bridge covers beneath a further 1800 Vickers protective sapphire crystal. The DB25V calibre movement alone includes at least four De Bethune patent inventions that have become such a signature of the brand, it offers a six-day power reserve from the self-regulating twin barrel (patented 2004); titanium balance with white gold inserts (patented 2016); silicon escape wheel; triple pare-chute shock protection system (patented 2005) and De Bethune balance spring with flat terminal curve (patented 2006).
