7 by 7 - De Bethune origins
I call this my "7x7 DeBethune"
It is about 7mm thick and has a power reserve of 7 days (manual wind). From the early days of the brand, the origins of this new unique brand with their unique creative vision
I have not seen many others of this reference ever surface. The bullet lugs are amazing in person - the case work is superb - and on the side the piece looks like a spaceship.
I love the mix of traditional elements - just look at the dial - and the subtle splash of modernity with the case. The solid case back adds some nice heft to an otherwise thin piece.

Astonishing one.
Wonderful lugs, expression of the great skills of the house. De Bethune is always on top!
Love it.
It looks like a very comfortable watch to wear. And it really is beautiful. Well done, again, DB.
You might be disappointed here - its modified Jaquet J4000 movement - but I have not found any pics
I just remember optically it was similar to the Baume & Mercier Clifton movement: Best, Magnus ...
Its a stunning watch .
I was lucky to strap one on the wrist a few weeks ago and it is even more stunning in real life . Would love to own one in the near future . ...
Ah.... The torpedoes lugs
Early generation, I have one too. gonna dig mine up. Wear in good health. Best, horo
The DB9R, with your post on the screen
From a bygone era. Haven't worn it for a looooooooong time. Thanks for the reminder. Best, Horo ...
Very nice, rarely see that one!
Love the hands on yours and I believe also 7-8 day manual wind movement!
Is it the DB2?
Their early models had a lot of charm indeed, I loved the Chronograph DB1 too (though it was a little big for my wrist). Enjoy it well Best, Mark
Looks that way in the picture indeed
But in person wears more like a 40mm since the lugs don't extend far. Wears perfectly and doesn't extend past the wrist edges. Highly recommend this case from DB even on smaller wrists
