Functions: hours - minutes - date
Movement: Calibre S233 – mechanical self-winding
Mainplate hand-decorated and snailed, hand-chamfered and polished steel parts
The S233 movement incorporates the major De Bethune technological breakthroughs:
Self-regulating twin barrel* – The barrels are specifically designed to eliminate friction and efficiently transmit a maximum of energy.
Silicon/white gold balance wheel* with flat terminal curve – Its exceptional lightness enables this balance wheel to reduce mechanical friction and deliver an ideal inertia/mass ratio. The principle of the flat end curve, placed on the same level as the balance-spring, compensates for off-centering and facilitates its fastening.
Triple pare-chute shock-absorbing system* which reduces potential disturbances due to impacts to an absolute minimum and protects the balance-spring pivots.
Silicon escape wheel
Titanium/heavy metal oscillating weight
