There's always been something special with a "dress-up Day" Chrono, at least for me
DeBethune

The golden dial is classy. Itās a chronograph which do not scream itās a chronograph. Other DeBethune watches are very good designs, so this brand do a good job for me. Colleague Voutilainen the same.

R vs R Opaline vs Radial Guilloche'd Rose Gold Dial Applied Breguet vs Blue Printed (but 3d somehow) Arabics Manual (better winding feel) vs Manual In house 4hz Patek chrono vs THA monopusher movement from a few wannabes (Journe / V Halter / Flaggiolet) B...
No contest! :-)

The De Bethune for sure. The Patek 5170G would have given the De Bethune a closer fight with its pulsometer scale but the 5170R is quite plain by comparison. And I am a Patek fan by the way but this is one of the nicest looking De Bethunes I have laid my ...

The hand guilloche on the dial itself makes it no contest. If it's the re-release of the DB8 then the movement is no contest either.

I went G with black dial, which really is a super utilitarian watch that works well with evening wear as well as jeans. BR M
I would agree

The black dialed breguetās is iconic. Had I not had another black dialed chrono Iād have likely gone that direction. But I basically never wear black shoes, and while I like the tan strap, black dial combo - a lot... the opaline dial works a lot better wi...

While the 5170 is classy and impeccably made, to me it is not one of the strongest PP manual chronos. Iād take both the 5070 and 5172 over the 5170. The DB has equally strong design and excellent execution but in addition thereās the originality of a piec...
