For 2019, it is taking the concept in a more specialized direction, since the Grand Bleu is specifically made for diving. It has all the characteristics required by the ISO 6425 norm governing the category. It is water-resistant to 105 meters and features a unidirectional rotating bezel as well as an operating indicator. De Bethune has enriched this model in its own inimitable way. First of all, with a system lighting up the bezel and hour-markers with a series of four LED bulbs. They are powered by a dynamo, which generates an electric current from the energy stored in the barrels. This light is complemented by the use of an exclusive dark blue Super-LumiNova\u00ae, developed in cooperation with luminescent object specialist Black Badger. Made of zirconium, an extremely rare metal, the DB28 GS Grand Bleu has an ultra-technical appearance that reflects its nature, since the balance-wheel, shock-absorbers, balance-spring, floating lugs and many other operating details are unique and brandspecific. As is the level of its finishing, offering a full immersion into a world of horological happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De Bethune DB28 GS Grand Bleu CASE : zirconium, transparent sapphire crystal and back, unidirectional [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":33973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33976"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33976"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33977,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33976\/revisions\/33977"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
