What to know
De Bethune’s DB25Vxs Silver Moon places the manufacture’s celestial vocabulary in a 40.6 mm polished grade 5 titanium case. Its silver dial is finished with hand-executed barleycorn guilloché, while a blued titanium section forms the starry sky. Rose-gold hands and the brand’s small spherical moon display bring warmth and depth to the cool-toned composition.
The manually wound DB2105V5 calibre provides a six-day power reserve. De Bethune states that its spherical moon-phase mechanism accumulates an error of only one day in 122 years. Announced on 13 April 2026, the Silver Moon balances decorative craft with the technical detail expected from the independent manufacture, while the reduced DB25Vxs proportions make the elaborate dial notably wearable.
