De Bethune DB25xs Sand Winds

Nature as a source of inspiration, titanium as the epitome of excellence: De Bethune unveils the DB25xs Sand Winds.

T

he titanium dial of the DB25xs Sand Winds combines two exclusive finishing techniques developed by the Manufacture : random guilloché and natural oxidative heat treatment. Together, they create a yellow surface featuring a mesmerising hypnotic shimmer evoking the ripples of wind across vast expanses of sand.

Its vibrant colour makes a perfect match with the warm tones of the polished yellow titanium hands and hour-markers as well as the subtle gleam of the white gold inserts.

The DB25xs Sand Winds features the signature round case of the DB25 series, featuring slender lines and hollowed-out, tapered lugs designed to provide a comfortable fit on the wrist. Crafted from grade 5 titanium and hand-polished, it combines a 40 mm diameter with exceptional lightness, ensuring a comfortable feel on all wrist types.

Fitted with a sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating on both sides, the caseback reveals the excellence of a movement finely adorned with Côtes De Bethune and polished blued titanium. Mechanical hand-wound Calibre DB2005 beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour incorporates the Manufacture’s latest innovations : a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a balance-spring with flat terminal curve, a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system and a silicon wheel. Its self-regulating twin barrel ensures a constant six-day power reserve.

The DB25xs Sand Winds is paired with an exceptionally supple lined brown alligator leather strap and a matching polished titanium pin buckle.
