De Bethune unveils the DB25xs Sand Winds, a titanium‑cased watch with desert‑inspired aesthetics.

De Bethune has introduced the DB25xs Sand Winds, a refined addition to its DB25 line that continues the brand’s pursuit of poetic design and technical innovation.
Representing the artistic and technical prowess of De Bethune, the Sand Winds model showcases a warm, desert-inspired aesthetic that highlights the independent brand’s mastery over thermal titanium treatments and highly complex mechanical watchmaking. The timepiece is housed in a polished grade 5 titanium case measuring 40.6 mm in diameter and just 8.8 mm thick, with hollowed lugs that emphasize lightness and comfort.
At the heart of it is a mesmerizing random guilloché yellow titanium dial accented with delicate white gold inserts, masterfully evoking the undulating patterns of wind-swept sand dunes. The hours and minutes are indicated by hand-polished brown titanium hands that sweep gracefully over a matching yellow titanium chapter ring. To complete the dial’s unified, earthy color palette, the hour markers are also crafted from brown polished titanium, providing a rich contrast against the golden backdrop.
Visible through the double anti-reflective sapphire crystal exhibition case back is the manual-winding Calibre DB2005, which boasts 160 parts, 27 jewels, and an impressive 6-day power reserve generated by a self-regulating twin barrel. This high-tech, 28,800 vph movement is adorned with silver plates and “Côtes De Bethune” finishing, utilizing a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, a silicon escape wheel, and a triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system. The 3 ATM water-resistant watch is secured to the wrist by an extra-supple alligator leather strap and a polished grade 5 titanium pin buckle.
