The DB25 Digitale moves the jumping hour concept to the DB25 platform, featuring shorter, fixed, and openworked lugs compared to the DB28 model.
The case measures 42mm in diameter and just under 12mm in height, offering a more compact feel on the wrist than the previous 45mm DB28 Digitale.
The dial presents a more complex and detailed appearance than the DB28 Digitale, with a blued titanium base featuring a random guilloché pattern and a silvered minute sector with a barleycorn motif.
The hand-wound Calibre DB2144V3 movement incorporates De Bethune's innovations including a titanium balance wheel with grey-gold inserts, a silicon escape wheel, and a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system.
The spherical moon-phase indication is accurate to within one lunar day every 1,112 years.
The movement's decoration includes a concave titanium mainplate, a titanium barrel bridge, and hand-beveling and polishing, with a blued titanium insert featuring random guilloché.
