Crafted in lightweight DLC-coated Grade 5 titanium, the watch measures 43 mm in diameter and features the brand’s patented floating lugs, which adapt to the wrist for improved comfort and superior ergonomics. At its core is the in-house automatic caliber S233, boasting three innovative patents, including a silicon balance wheel, a De Bethune balance spring with flat terminal curve, and a self-regulating twin barrel. These innovations work in tandem to provide enhanced chronometric performance, stability, and resistance to magnetic fields. The case back offers a partial view of the beautifully hand-finished and decorated movement through a porthole-style sapphire crystal. The minimalist matte black dial features De Bethune’s signature date display and sleek silvered hands. The result is a refined and stealthy presence on the wrist—understated, yet unmistakably cutting-edge. The DB27ZS8 Titan Hawk “All Black” embodies the spirit of independent watchmaking at its most daring and technically refined. With limited production and distinctive aesthetics, it remains a standout piece for collectors drawn to high horology with a futuristic twist. This example is number 2, and is complete with its box and papers, having been retailed by the world-famous Ahmed Seddiqi of Dubai.
