De Bethune DB25xs Sand Winds
De Bethune has introduced the DB25xs Sand Winds, a new variant of its DB25 collection featuring a unique dial inspired by desert sands. This model retains the signature design elements and the DB2005 manual-winding movement, presented in a smaller 40mm case.
- Price: CHF 70,000 before taxes
- 40mm grade 5 titanium case
- DB2005 manual-winding movement
- 6-day power reserve
- 3 ATM water resistance
The dial features random guilloché and natural oxidative heat treatment, creating a yellow surface with a hypnotic shimmer evoking wind ripples across sand.
The DB25xs is a 40mm 'extra small' version of the DB25 case, which typically measures 42mm.
The movement, Calibre DB2005, incorporates a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a flat terminal curve balance-spring, a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system, and a silicon escape wheel.
The case features slender lines and hollowed-out, tapered lugs designed for comfort, crafted from hand-polished grade 5 titanium.
Hands and hour markers are made of polished yellow titanium with white gold inserts, complementing the dial's hue.
The watch is paired with a supple lined brown alligator leather strap and a matching polished titanium pin buckle.
