Description

The De Bethune Maxichrono in Titanium, reference DB28MCTN, seamlessly integrates the classic chronograph, a traditional method of measuring elapsed time, into the contemporary DB28 collection. This fusion of old and new is evident in both its design and technical construction, resulting in a timepiece that embodies a harmonious blend of traditional heritage and modern styling. The DB28 Maxichrono, equipped with De Bethune’s absolute clutch system, serves as a precise and reliable time-measuring instrument, showcasing a strong and unique identity.

Dial: The three-dimensional silver dial is constructed on different levels to maximize readability. From the center to the periphery, it features a central hours counter, an hour ring, a minutes ring and minutes counter, and an outer ring graduated to 1/10th of a second for the seconds counter. Flame-blued, polished steel Arabic numerals serve as hour markers.

Hands: The watch is equipped with five curved central hands. The hours and minutes hands, as well as the chronograph and seconds indicators, are made of hand-polished and flame-blued steel. The chronograph minutes indicator is crafted in rose gold.
Crafted from lightweight titanium, the 45mm case of the Maxichrono is designed with De Bethune’s signature floating lugs, ensuring a comfortable fit on any wrist. The heart of this timepiece, the in-house calibre DB2030, is a manual-winding movement featuring a 24-hour chronograph function. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement showcases meticulously hand-finished components, including a titanium and platinum oscillating weight.

Accompanied by a black alligator leather strap and secured with a titanium pin buckle, the De Bethune Maxichrono in Titanium DB28MCTN represents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. This exceptional watch is a testament to De Bethune’s dedication to advancing horological design and craftsmanship.
