Explore Pre-Owned De Bethune Watches

De Bethune's approach to watchmaking blends technical ingenuity with sculptural aesthetics. Each watch showcases the brand's proprietary technologies, including the triple pare-chute shock absorber system, mirror-polished titanium cases, and in-house calibers designed for optimal chronometry. At The 1916 Company, our selection of pre-owned De Bethune watches highlights the most coveted models, thoughtfully curated and fully authenticated.

Pre-Owned De Bethune DB28 Watches

The DB28 collection is perhaps the brand's most recognizable line, featuring floating lugs, exposed movement elements, and symmetrical designs that emphasize balance. Models like the DB28 Kind of Blue or the DB28 XP Starry Sky exemplify the brand's mastery of blued titanium and celestial inspiration.

Pre-Owned De Bethune DB27 Watches

The DB27 series offers a sportier approach while retaining the brand's high-end finishing. Known for its central seconds, integrated lugs, and refined dials, the DB27 Titan Hawk is a frequent favorite for those seeking modern practicality with horological edge.

Pre-Owned De Bethune DB25 Watches

The DB25 line is poetic and precise — with moon phase complications, guilloché dials, and hand-polished cases that reveal De Bethune's romantic side. Highlights include the DB25 Starry Varius and DB25 Moon Phase Tourbillon, both of which combine visual splendor with technical excellence.

Pre-Owned De Bethune Heritage Watches

Heritage Collection watches are rare archival pieces no longer in active production. These thirteen models represent De Bethune's early technical experimentation, from avant-garde case shapes to proprietary escapement designs. As a collector, owning a Heritage model means preserving part of the independent watchmaking renaissance.

Each Heritage piece comes with an official De Bethune box, certificate of authenticity, and a personal letter from co-founder Denis Flageollet. The 1916 Company is proud to be a majority investor and global retail partner, with exclusive access to these historic timepieces.
