The silver dial is protected by sapphire crystal, while the characteristic floating lugs define the case architecture. Water resistance extends to 30 meters, and the watch is completed with a leather strap.

This reference appeals to collectors focused on independent Swiss manufacture capabilities and contemporary case design. The DB28 represents De Bethune's technical approach to manual-winding movements, particularly notable for collectors interested in extended power reserve complications. Production commenced in 2010, positioning this reference within the brand's modern catalog offerings.

...run the other way, and that the disc should rotate counter clockwise? Maybe it's just me...but me and my wife have totally opposite preferences of how the swiping and scrolling on our laptops work too : )

I'm a huge fan of DB's more classically styled pieces such as this one, the starry varius, the sky bridge, etc.
