De Bethune reinvents the iconic DB25: the compact DB25xs Starry Varius features a sky reddened by the fire of the earth, and a 40mm case. Using a thermal process unique to the Manufacture, De Bethune has opted for a warm, intense tone to depict the nocturnal spectacle of a volcanic eruption.
The DB25xs Starry Varius features a starry sky reddened by the earth in turmoil; while the dial mirrors a celestial canopy tinged by the activity of a volcano and its flowing lava.
Artisans in the L’Auberson workshops hand-decorate the mirror-polished titanium dials. They set each white gold pin, bringing to life a poetic depiction of the starry sky. Using laser-beam micro-milling, a Milky Way motif is revealed by applying 24-carat gold leaf. Like every starlit dial from the Maison, this new sky can be personalised according to a specific geographical location and date. The display is enlivened by delicately hand-polished rose gold hands gliding over matching hour-markers set on a silver ring.
A sapphire caseback with double anti-reflective treatment reveals the impeccable craftsmanship of the DB2005 hand-wound calibre. Equipped with a balance-spring featuring a flat terminal curve, a silicon escape-wheel and a shock-absorbing system, the DB25xs Starry Varius also incorporates the Manufacture’s latest titanium and white gold balance-wheel.
The DB25xs Starry Varius is available in an ultra-lightweight mirror-polished grade 5 titanium case and in a more classic rose gold version. Each is fitted with an extra-supple double alligator leather strap.
