Cased in titanium and black zirconium, the watch has a light profile with high robustness. Designed and equipped with their signature floating lugs, it allows for optimal wrist comfort. With a depth rating of 100 meters, the cal. DB2080 not only allows for such feature but rather another that is truly what the DB28GS Grand Bleu is all about.
Positioned at 6 o’clock of the case is a button, once pressed, luminescent light glows on the dial like led lights. While it is entirely manual, the concept behind the mechanism requires no battery, similar to old bike lights that were powered by the rotation of the wheel.
The present example is offered in "like new" condition and is offered with its full set of accessories. For lover’s of independents and unusual and innovative timepiece enable to withstand active wear, this may perhaps just be the perfect conversational sports watch.
