New releases from De Bethune, Carl F. Bucherer, Breguet and more

Pietro Pilla

Apparently, the memo for this week’s releases was black. Not all of them, but most of the new watches of the past seven days have a predominance of black, and I’m not complaining at all. A. Lange & Söhne announced the Lange 1’s anniversary with an onyx dial, Bucherer launched a world timer in an array of dial colours (including black), Breguet introduced two black enamel Classique models, and many more follow the same colour trend. Discover them all, and enjoy the reading!

• The Stunning DB25GMT Starry Varius, previously only available in titanium, is also now available in rose gold.
• The rotating sphere which serves as a day/night indicator matches the case’s metal.
• Like its predecessor, several dial components, including the blued date ring and the central dial, are made of titanium.
