When I think of DB
I immediately think of blued titanium.
Other terms come up such as floating lugs, highly individual bridges, mirror polish, 3D moon.
Wouldn’t mind the first one too; even without the blued treatment.
Those are spectacular pieces. Once you’ve touched them, it is a road of no return.
Narrowed Down My De Bethune Choice
I've decided to purchase a DB28 as my representative of De Bethune. And I believe that I've narrowed it down between two open dial designs. I know this is purely subjective, but I was wondering whether there is a prevailing opinion about which one is more...

Both great choices
DB stands for blue titanium, for sure. Still, being a simple guy, I like my things pure and my choice would be No. 1.
DB is blue. Is the blue of the moon in #1 enough blue for you?
Perhaps, they can put the blue hands of #2 on #1, if you like that?
Congrats in advance my friend.
Really looking forward to see your choice. You know you can’t go wrong with any DB imho.
Obviously there is no bad choice anyhow but if you ask my opinion…
For me DB must be blue titanium it is in the DNA of the brand so why go half way and take a DB which doesn’t really carry the DB attributes. Moreover there are still bridges and many parts in anthracite color which are nicely contrasting with the blue for...
The blue dial.
The blue is quintessential DeBethune, but I prefer fifty shades of grey.
Yay! Early congrats! I don't think either is "more" DB than the other.
While there is a lot of blue ti today, the early watches were not so blue and the aiguille d'or winning db28 was more like the first one. That said, the DB polished blue ti is super sweet, electric blue unlike anything else, so no bad options either way 👍...
I think the top one looks more harmonious and will be a timeless classic.
The second is just a little blue, but not enough to be bold like the Kind of Blue.
Congrats on amazing choice my friend!!
I was lucky enough to be able to wear one and it was fantastic. The quality, styling, and finishing were incredible!! Very lucky!! I am sure you will guess which one i will pick but I think the blue contrast beautifully with the rest of the watch that is ...
Blue is more associated with De Bethune
That being said, the first one was the version that won GPHG if I'm not mistaken. IMO, the first version is more attractive, you get a touch of blue with the moon phase anyway.
Monochrome won
De Bethune has been associated with oxidized titanium for a while. I love their KOB and their Yellow Tones watches (however, they are vulnerable to scratches since the oxidization treatments are surface only, and I need a more durable watch). But their ea...
