The De Bethune DB25 GMT Starry Varius is a striking example of the brand’s fusion of technical innovation and poetic design. Housed in the refined DB25 case, the watch features flowing, sculpted lugs and balanced proportions that wear elegantly on the wrist.
Its standout feature is the signature “Starry Varius” dial—mirror-polished, heat-blued titanium set with individually applied white gold stars, creating a vivid, dimensional night-sky effect. The GMT function is seamlessly integrated, offering practical dual-time capability while preserving the dial’s clean, artistic composition. Powering the watch is an in-house De Bethune movement, reflecting the brand’s commitment to advanced engineering, precision, and exceptional finishing.
Founded in 2002, De Bethune is one of the most respected independent watchmakers, known for blending traditional Swiss craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. With limited production and a design language rooted in astronomy, its timepieces are highly collectible and prized for their originality.
This example is offered in like-new condition, with virtually no signs of wear. The case remains sharp and clean, the dial is flawless, and the movement is running as expected. A superb collector-grade piece that presents nearly as new.
