De Bethune DB25 Reference DB25
The DB25 represents De Bethune's entry in the 44.5mm manual-wind category, distinguished by its silver dial configuration within the DB25 series. This reference launched in 2006 and continues the brand's approach to contemporary haute horlogerie complications.
The 44.5mm case is crafted from 18k white gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. Water resistance extends to 30 meters. The manual-winding caliber DB2105 movement provides a substantial 120-hour power reserve. The watch features a leather strap attachment.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking De Bethune's technical approach to timekeeping in a precious metal case. The extended power reserve and manual-wind operation position it for enthusiasts who appreciate hands-on interaction with their timepieces. The 44.5mm sizing places it in contemporary proportions within the independent watchmaking segment.
Those are great shots. I love the photos on the lake, and your cufflinks are super cool. Best, Tim
Really make the watch colors pop
Spectacular watch Christian! Hope to see you around Copenhagen soon for a catchup!
Among the DB catalog it's really the piece which speaks to me the most as you get the best of both classic and innovative design (just my feeling of course). Thanks for sharing. Best, Emmanuel
I always want to post the photos immediately after the purchase but these were not as nice as the new ones!
very content with my version! but I heard the new XS models of the DB 28 are also very wearable. Difficult watch to try as distribution is limited, but Bucherer just added it to their brands!
