The DB27 “Night Hawk” introduces several firsts for the DB27 collection. Most notably, it features De Bethune’s first-ever production matte flame-blued titanium “short” floating lugs, paired with a polished and brushed grade-5 titanium case measuring 43mm in diameter and just 9mm in thickness.

At the heart of the watch lies a striking dial: the first titanium flame-blued “Starry Sky” motif ever seen on a DB27.

A signature of De Bethune, this celestial display is not merely decorative – it maps the night sky corresponding to the date and place marking the beginning of the partnership between EsperLuxe and De Bethune in 2021.

Surrounding the dial is a chapter ring with Roman numerals, complemented by a minute track with Arabic numerals along the outer edge. Two-tone, mirror-polished blued hands complete the display, offering exceptional legibility and a distinctive visual identity.
