De Bethune launched their first DB28 model in 2010, and the futuristic collection has since continued to evolve. Even with its original, avant-garde style and recognisable features, the DB28 nevertheless amazes us with its versatility on the wrist. Last year, De Bethune released the DB28 Yellow Tones in March, its warm hues signifying a departure from the brand’s well-established penchant for the colour blue. Having demonstrated the DB28’s success at the opposite end of the colour spectrum — for the DB28 Yellow Tones was an immediate hit among enthusiasts — De Bethune re-embraces its iconic shade of intense blue. Two new models have been launched for 2020, all in blue; a colour created by thermal oxidation, and which has always fascinated Denis Flageollet, master watchmaker and co-founder of De Bethune.

Today, the launch of a new high beat mechanical caliber, 9SA5 represents an advance just as important as the first 9S. It is, beyond doubt, the finest mechanical caliber that Grand Seiko has ever created. A watch offered in a limited edition of 100 will be the first to be powered by this new caliber.
