ANNIVERSARY WATCH 2026

The DBF011, with its Edition 1751–2026, pays tribute to the origins of DuBois et fils and the brand’s 275-year history. Each of these unique timepieces features a Swiss hand-wound movement and exclusive details.

This special edition is limited to 33 pieces per model.

The DBF011 will only be available during the anniversary year.

Design and Style

The DBF011 draws inspiration from the functional aesthetics of historical workshop and instrument watches.

Its clearly structured dial, finely calibrated minute scale and distinctive five-minute markers ensure good readability, whilst also emphasising its connection to the traditional art of watchmaking.

Printed numerals and Super-LumiNova-coated hands remain true to the character of historic timepieces. The cream-coloured dial of the DBF011-01 gives the watch a warm appearance.

The date display adds a deliberate design accent.

Symbols with a meaning

The fir tree, the DuBois surname and Le Locle, the place of origin, are more than just design elements. They represent the roots and identity of DuBois et fils.

The anniversary engraving on the case back gives this watch its exclusive “Edition 1751–2026” character.

Heritage from 1751

The movement

Every DBF011 houses an original hand-wound Felsa 4017 movement from 1962, featuring a 42-hour power reserve and hand-blued screws.

This calibre was developed by the company Felsa S.A., based in Grenchen, one of Switzerland's most innovative movement manufacturers at the time, and still renowned today for its reliable mechanics and precise craftsmanship.

The movement can be seen in every DBF011 through the transparent case back.

The 42 mm stainless steel case protects the historic movement with anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the front and back.
