The DB28 stands as a true emblem of De Bethune’s exceptional craftsmanship, and this latest iteration elevates the model to new heights with its profound significance. Boasting a notably smaller diameter of 38.7mm, it introduces a stunning world-first feature—a random guilloché dial. This intricate, unpredictable pattern further exemplifies De Bethune’s pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to innovation, making this version a remarkable evolution of an already iconic timepiece.
