Back to collection

De Bethune reaffirms its identity and revisits its classics with the DB28 collection, a timepiece that unmistakably embodies the brand’s signature style while showcasing its bold, avant-garde vision of horology. The DB28’s exceptional wearer comfort is a result of its surprising lightness, complemented by the innovative “floating lugs”—a patented system that effortlessly adapts to the wrist, ensuring a perfect fit and accommodating its natural movements.
