Practice De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk V2 - Take "entry level" to a whole new level
Lower profile, still perfect, meeting De Bethune's new entry-level watch.
For the independent watch manufacturer De Bethune, this is a long road, but so far, all the signs indicate that they are on the right track. The latest display format is the new DB27 Titan Hawk V2 (DB27TIS1 V2), a suitable successor to the original model of the DB27 series introduced in 2012 - later in matte version. The new DB27 Titan Hawk V2 is slightly lower-key than its siblings, offering a lightweight titanium case with the brand's signature floating lugs, but with a cleaner dial. No more central dates are displayed, but we do get the second hand. And this has not changed.
As Brills explained in a previous article (you can read it here), De Bethune has been in a no-man's land for the past two years, dealing with complex financial and management situations. It is almost certain that the company's former CEO, Pierre Jacques, and the private investment consortium announced that they will be headed to several other high-end independent watch brands before taking over in October last year. . Jacques has promised to put the manufacturers he helped build back on track and return to making incredible timepieces that we all know and covet.Replica Hublot Mp 05 LAFERRARI 905.ND.0001.RX Watch
The first watch launched under the new ownership/management team was the gorgeous DB28 Steel Wheels, which appeared next to the SIHH 2018. This is followed by the early success of the new DB27 Titan Hawk V2, a stylish watch that covers everything we love about Debbie.
With a 43mm x 9mm case, made of grade 5 titanium, the surface is brushed and polished, making it a very nice watch on the watch. The combination of lightweight titanium and De Bethune's patented "floating lugs" also means it's very comfortable. If you have used these types of lugs on De Bethune, you will know exactly what I mean. The lugs rotate at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, which means they can wrap themselves around almost any wrist size to ensure they fit your skin. They also add an extra element to the design of the case, which is visually very interesting.
Like the original DB27 Titan Hawk, the V2 features a silver, ultra-light dial. The layout is the same as before, the chapter ring uses Roman numerals to indicate hour markers, and the second minute circle uses Arabic numerals around the outer edge of the dial. As I mentioned before, the central date indicator disappeared and the hollow blue steel pointer disappeared. Instead, we now have sandblasted hands that are still open, and now only use hand-polished flame blue steel at the end. There is also a small second hand to join the flame blue steel.REVIEW RICHARD MILLE RM 27-02 TOURBILLON RAFAEL NADAL replica watch
Turning over the DB27 Titan Hawk V2, we had another surprise. On the original model, the porthole on the back of the case showed only balance. However, now we have a complete sapphire case back and put the new self-winding AUTOV2 mechanical movement on a dazzling display. It consists of 217 parts with a titanium balance wheel with a platinum insert, a "De Bethune" balance spring with a flat-end curve, a steel escape wheel and an optimized pendulum for titanium and tungsten alloys. Swing at 28,800 vph and providing 60 hours of power reserve when fully juiced. As you would expect from De Bethune, everything is done and decorated by hand according to strict standards.
This watch features a super soft alligator strap with a crocodile lining, with a pin buckle and a 5-grade titanium watch.

Introducing De Bethune DB28 steel wheels (SIHH 2018)
For the past two years, De Bethune has been dealing with complex financial and management situations. However, in October 2017, the company announced that an investment consortium led by former brand CEO Pierre Jacques will take over the company and put the manufacturing back on track. In the middle of the SIHH 2018, this is the first watch of the "New De Bethune", a variant of the famous DB28 model with a skeleton movement. Meets DB28 steel wheels.
De Bethune has been and remains one of the most surprising members of the “Independent Watchmaking Scene”, known for its modern, high-tech and super-finished products. The company has developed and produced not less than 25 movements, approximately 30 world firsts, multiple patents, and 150 unique models. For example, the famous model is DB28, there are several versions, such as Black Matte or Digital, DB27 with Titan Hawk Matte version, or MaxiChrono, an impressive chronograph. One thing these watches have in common is their unique style, based on articulated lugs, modernity, spectacular surface treatments and innovative technical solutions.
As the company tried to get back on track, it launched a new watch - in fact, it is a known model that is worn in a new way. The De Bethune DB28 steel wheel uses a well-known technical foundation, but it offers a new decoration and style for its movement, which is now fully open to show wheels and pinions. The iconic triangular bridge at the top of the movement has been opened to maximize the gear train and twin barrels (ensuring a 6-day power reserve) and the underlying wheels have been redesigned to provide a technical and modern look.wholesale cheap watches for sale
To complete this "open" design, the hands of the DB28 steel wheels have been reshaped and the hour hand is made of sapphire with a chamfer and blue frame. Minute hands, thinner, more prominent, keep classic, hand polished and flame blue steel. If something changes, the others don't change, including six superb spherical moon indications. Made of palladium and flaming blue steel, it represents the age of the moon, a precise Lunar Day every 122 years, a specific "swing".
Like the previous De Bethune watch, the DB28 steel wheels show their balance under a high-quality polished bridge - here we have a Titanium balance with a platinum insert, a "De Bethune" balance spring and a silicon escape wheel. The case remains unchanged, the iconic articulated lugs (in two sizes) and the fully polished 5-stage titanium surface. Production will be limited to 25 pieces.
