DB8
De Bethune presents a new single-button chronograph, with a very simple dial which offers an exceptional readability. The thin and three-part case, in the classical style of De Bethune, is held by palladium screws. The 45 minute-counter at 6 o’clock underlines once again the elegance and the high quality of this collection of classical watches.
