The incredible mirror-polished grade 5 titanium case, titanium dial and contrasting blued titanium hands and hour-markers immediately draw the attention, indeed, it is hard not be seduced by De Bethune’s extraordinary level of finish and innovation. The titanium movement, decorated with De Bethune’s distinctive ‘microlight’ pattern, alone includes four De Bethune patent inventions, the case featuring the company’s ingenious and very comfortable ‘floating lugs’ patented in 2006 that have become such a signature of the brand.
