Equipped with the caliber DB2004, it embodied the brand's commitment to combining technical innovation with refined watchmaking aesthetics. The DB15WT stands out for its elegant and highly legible perpetual calendar display, complemented by an astronomical moonphase indication of exceptional precision. This reference also introduced De Bethune¿s now-iconic spherical moonphase, a feature that would become one of the manufacture's most recognizable signatures. The movement further showcased advanced technical solutions, including a lightweight titanium balance designed to enhance chronometric performance. Its dial reflects the clean, contemporary design language that has come to define De Bethune, while the more compact case dimensions and distinctive early ogival lugs preserve the charm and character of the brand's formative years. As such, the DB15WT is widely regarded as one of the most important early references in De Bethune's history, representing the perfect synthesis of innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
