Description

The present watch is the De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk, reference DB27TIS2V2PS, expressed in the maison’s signature fusion of futuristic architecture and classical nuance.

A 43 mm titanium case is employed to deliver strength with exceptional lightness, complemented by De Bethune’s ergonomic, floating lug system for superior wrist comfort. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters. A salmon-colored dial is presented with Roman numeral hour markers, blending warm tonality with old-world typography. Hours and minutes are displayed with central hands, while running seconds are indicated to complete the essential suite of timekeeping functions.

An automatic movement is installed, aligning with the Titan Hawk lineage and providing reliable, everyday winding convenience. The focus is placed on chronometric clarity and refined simplicity, with complications intentionally limited to hours, minutes, and seconds. De Bethune’s distinctive finishing language—clean dial layout, sculptural case geometry, and meticulous surface treatment—is reflected throughout.

A black strap is fitted, secured by a classic buckle, ensuring a versatile and elegant pairing with the titanium case and salmon dial. Altogether, the DB27TIS2V2PS embodies De Bethune’s modernist ethos—technical lightness, ergonomic design, and artisanal detailing—rendered in a timeless salmon palette with Roman numerals for a quietly striking presence on the wrist.
