Question 1

What is special about the De Bethune DB28?

Accepted Answer

The DB28 features a patented floating lug system, mirror-polished titanium cases, and in-house calibers with cutting-edge innovations like tourbillons, deadbeat seconds, and spherical moonphases.

Question 2

Are DB28 watches still being produced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The DB28 remains an active part of De Bethune’s collection, with new variations released each year — many in highly limited quantities.

Question 3

What materials are used in DB28 watches?

Accepted Answer

DB28 models are typically crafted from grade 5 titanium, with some references featuring thermal-blued titanium, zirconium, or polished steel.

Question 4

Are pre-owned DB28 watches a good investment?

Accepted Answer

Due to De Bethune’s low production volume and cult following among collectors, well-maintained DB28 references often retain or increase in value — particularly rare models or limited editions.

Question 5

Does The 1916 Company guarantee authenticity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All pre-owned watches, including the DB28, are authenticated and backed by a two-year warranty when purchased through The 1916 Company.
