Some fresh pics of my DB10

 

Yesterday, I took these fresh pictures of my DB10, a watch I really love.

It is a kind of UFO in the De Bethune collection. De Bethune is a brand which always go forward but this time, they looked back to pay homage to a watch of the beginning...

The DB10 Réédition looks very classic but at the same time, it features an original caliber.

Let's take the  "usual" De Bethune automatic caliber and remove all the patended features. Add an unique regulating system inspired by the old pocket watches and you get the caliber of the DB10 Réédition. The original watch was powered by an AS movement improved by Denis Flageollet.

 
The date is displayed thanks to the tiny central hand:

I love the different guillochages on the dial:

The specific movement of the DB10:

42mm of pure pleasure!

When I decided to buy it, I didn't have the opportunity to see the WG version before. I don't regret it: the PG case is perfect for this kind of watch.

I don't forget to mention that the case contributes a lot to the charm of the DB10 Réédition...
