About this reference
The De Bethune DB28 in polished titanium was introduced in 2011 and remains a cornerstone of the brand’s catalog, though production volumes are limited to approximately 150 to 200 total watches across the entire brand annually. Collectors prioritize this reference for its patented floating lugs, which pivot to conform to the wrist, and the caliber DB2115 movement featuring a silicon/white gold balance wheel and a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system. The dial is characterized by a spherical moon-phase indicator at six o'clock, accurate to one day every 122 years, and a hand-polished grade 5 titanium finish. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade between $85,000 and $115,000 depending on condition and provenance. A notable milestone for the series occurred in 2011 when the DB28 won the Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, establishing its technical significance.
