This prestigious award was granted at SIAR by a jury made up of watch connoisseurs and experts in watchmaking which is chaired by Carlos Alonso, founder and president of SIAR, and publishing director of watch magazine, Tiempo de Relojes.
The DB28GS Grand Bleu has many new features including a new caliber, water resistance which has been extended to 100 meters, excellent legibility even in lowest light conditions thanks to ingenious lighting inside the movement, a newly-design bezel that rotates together with the crystal to give diving time, a titanium case for lightness, and a rubber strap for practicality. The timepiece also features a 5-day power reserve.
"SIAR has become the must-attend watchmaking event of Latin America", Pierre Jacques, CEO of De Bethune, commented. "Denis Flageollet and myself would like thank its founder and president, Carlos Alonso, and the entire dynamic team of Tiempo de Relojes who have supported us since the beginning. De Bethune has grown in importance in Latin America, and the SIAR is an inevitable platform which allows us to meet all the collectors and amateurs in a unique atmosphere, which is particularly friendly and qualitative."
The DB28GS Grand Bleu has also been pre-selected in the Diver’s Category by the jury of the upcoming Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).
