The term "British Racing Green" refers to a particular shade of green associated with British racing cars.
It has a long history and is deeply rooted in British motorsport tradition. The exact origin of British Racing Green is disputed, but it is generally believed to have been introduced in the early 20th century. One theory suggests that the color was used by the Gordon Bennett Cup, an international motor race held in the early 1900s. The story goes that each country participating in the race had its own national color, and green was chosen for British cars.
Over the years, various manufacturers in the motorsport, fashion and luxury sectors have used variations of the colour, but the overall concept remains closely associated with the rich history of British motorsport.

No effort is spared in production. Each of our models is assembled by hand at a specialty watch atelier in the Jura.
The 330 AS-1985 movements that are installed in the DBF008 come from the A. Schild watch factory in Grenchen. Although this factory no longer exists, DuBois et fils was able to secure and revise the calibres. Now these witnesses of the past live on in the DBF008 collection.
