Commemorative Edition of 5 pieces
A New Kind Of Blue
De Bethune’s DB28 Steel Wheels Blue combines the fully blued-out aesthetic we all love from the DB28 Kind of Blue, with the open worked architecture of the DB28 Steel Wheels. The result? It’s an all new Kind of Blue.
De Bethune’s ethereal designs have always stood in stark contrast to the centuries old horological traditions they uphold. And it’s no different on the face of the DB28 Steel Wheels Blue. With a prominent blued delta shaped bridge contrasting nicely against the gear wheels below.
Sapphire hands, a blued spherical moon phase indication at 6 o’clock and a power reserve of 6 days complete the package. They’ve brought together everything we love about the brand into one truly special watch.
