Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the De Bethune DB25 DB25VRDJS3?
The De Bethune DB25 DB25VRDJS3 has a lug width of 20mm. This measurement must be taken internally between the two vertical attachment pins, not on the external surface of the case. It is a critical specification for ensuring compatibility with any aftermarket strap.
Which strap material pairs best with the DB25VRDJS3 in rose gold?
For the De Bethune DB25 DB25VRDJS3 in rose gold, we recommend alligator in burgundy tones, vegetable-tanned calf in warm tobacco-brown, or shell cordovan. Alligator offers classical elegance, calf provides natural tactile texture, whilst shell cordovan develops a unique patina over time, creating a dynamic relationship with the gold.
How do I change the strap on the De Bethune DB25 DB25VRDJS3?
Remove the current strap by gently sliding the attachment pin using a dedicated spring bar tool. Insert the new 20mm strap by sliding the pins through the case lugs until fully seated. Always verify that both pins are inserted symmetrically into both attachments.
Are aftermarket 20mm straps truly compatible with the DB25VRDJS3?
Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. However, we recommend artisanal quality straps crafted bespoke to honour the constructive value of the timepiece. Our 20mm straps are specifically curated for aesthetic harmony with prestigious watches.
How long do leather straps last on the De Bethune DB25 DB25VRDJS3?
Durability depends on material: quality artisanal alligator or calf maintains structural integrity for 8-12 years with ordinary maintenance. Shell cordovan, owing to its natural density, can last beyond 15 years whilst developing a desirable patina. Periodic replacement of the clasp and pins significantly extends the overall longevity of the strap.
