In 2006, De Bethune imagined a radically different, instantly legible chronograph display with five hands, all mounted on the same central axis and operated by a single pusher at 6 o'clock. Doing away with conventional counters, chronograph hours and seconds are shown by blued steel hands, with a red hand indicating chronograph minutes. De Bethune now returns to the complex mechanisms of the DB21 Maxichrono in a limited edition of ten pieces in titanium. This lightweight, comfortable material is used for the 44.40mm case as well as for the floating lugs, this time in a highly contemporary blued version.
