DB25 Digitale
De Bethune has revived its "Digitale" jumping hours concept with the new DB25 Digitale, presented in the brand's classic DB25 case style. This iteration features an elaborately decorated dial combining wavy guilloché and a star-studded blued titanium sky, housing a jumping hours display and a spherical moon phase complication.
- Jumping hours, minutes, and spherical moon phase
- Manual wind movement with five-day power reserve
- 42mm polished titanium case
- Blued titanium dial with guilloché and starry sky decoration
- Water resistant to 30 meters
- Not a limited edition
The dial combines wavy, "random" guilloché on blued titanium evoking the sea, with polished blued titanium embedded with gold spheres representing the night sky, separated by barleycorn guilloché.
The dial features a deep blue "random" guilloché that extends onto the movement's bridge.
The spherical moon phase, composed of palladium and flame-blued steel hemispheres, tracks phases with an accuracy of one lunar day every 1,112 years.
The spherical moon phase is composed of two halves of palladium and blued steel.
A flat, polished titanium disc at the center is set with tiny golden pins to evoke a starry sky, framing the spherical moon phase and the jumping-hour aperture.
The random guilloché is framed by a silver ring with barleycorn guilloché, and a peripheral blued titanium ring with grey gold stars and an arrow-shaped minutes indicator.
The movement's 5 Hz balance wheel is blued titanium with white gold regulating weights, secured by a blued titanium balance bridge featuring a proprietary "triple para-chute" shock absorber.
The movement's polished titanium deltoid bridge carries the same random guilloché pattern as the dial.
