The De Bethune DB27: Lightweight Innovation with Daily Appeal

The DB27 is De Bethune's answer to a modern, wearable, high-performance watch. It maintains the brand's proprietary horological engineering, from titanium balance wheels to in-house calibers, but introduces a sportier, more approachable design. Featuring short, integrated spring-loaded lugs and minimalist dials, the DB27 combines the precision and finishing expected from De Bethune with a contemporary wrist presence fit for everyday wear.

The DB27 represents a refined departure from De Bethune's more sculptural designs. With shorter integrated spring-loaded lugs, lightweight titanium cases, and pared-down dial layouts, it's an ideal choice for collectors seeking a more casual or discreet look, without sacrificing technical innovation.

DB27 Titan Hawk

The Titan Hawk is the most prominent model within the DB27 family. It features an in-house automatic movement — the caliber S233 — with a 6-day power reserve, visible through a caseback sapphire crystal. Early models, such as the DB27TIS1V1, feature a radial date display and a brushed titanium case, while later models evolve the design with sandblasted finishes, anthracite coatings, and monochrome dials for a more tactical aesthetic.

DB27 Titan Hawk V2

The second generation of the Titan Hawk simplifies the dial even further and enhances legibility with polished handsets and cleaner layouts. It retains the signature De Bethune movement innovations, including the titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts and flat terminal curve spring, while embracing a more understated visual profile.

DB27 Titan Hawk JPS

Perhaps the most visually distinctive variant is the DB27 Titan Hawk JPS, named for its John Player Special-inspired black and gold livery. With a sleek black DLC-coated titanium case and gold highlights, this edition drew attention when spotted on the wrist of Michael Jordan, further elevating its desirability among collectors. Its stealthy finish and motorsport nods make it one of the most dynamic DB27 variants ever produced.

Whether you're after the everyday wearability of the Titan Hawk or the standout appeal of the JPS edition, each pre-owned DB27 in our collection is curated for authenticity and condition. As an authorized De Bethune retailer and majority investor in the brand, The 1916 Company offers unparalleled access to both archival and in-production pieces.
