    • Catalogue Essay

      - Released in 2020, the present DB28GS with its floating lugs, delta-shaped bridges, and exposed balance wheel features all the signature elements that one would expect from the De Bethune.

      - Cased at 44mm in diameter, using grade 5 yellowed titanium and black zirconium, the DB28GS “Yellow Submarine” is larger, more rugged, and delights its wearer with a bronze-esque looking suit.

      - Conceived as a sport watch, De Bethune came up with an astute on-demand lighting system from inside the watch. Fully mechanical, the lighting system is made alive thanks to a dynamo activated by the pusher at 6 o’clock. With no battery, the pusher activates a small gear train with a tiny dynamo driven by a twin barrel and lights up the watch on demand.

      - The present DB28GS "Yellow Submarine" is offered with its full set of accessories and is number 15 of a 25 pieces limited edition.
