Frequently asked questions

Is the De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius (titanium) nickel-free?

On the maker's published specification, nothing that touches the skin is steel: the case, caseback, crown and strap buckle are all non-steel. The guide records what the maker publishes and has not tested the watch, so if you react to nickel, confirm the contact points with the maker before buying.
