Reintroducing a Chronograph Milestone: The DB Eight

The De Bethune DB Eight marks the return of a monopusher chronograph that helped define the brand's earliest horological innovation. First introduced in 2006, the DB8 now reemerges with a new hand-wound caliber and bold color configurations while preserving its core mechanical philosophy—precision, symmetry, and elegance in motion.
