Price Tier N/A

The DBF001-05 Chronograph by DuBois et fils with big date from the house of Dubois-Dépraz. A Swiss Made Limited Edition watch (33 pieces).

Metropolis Verdict

Who this watch is really for

developing data

Best for

Collectors who want a chronograph from an independent brand rather than the usual big-brand shortlist.

Buyers who like a larger case and want the watch to have visible wrist presence.

Mechanical-watch buyers who want a proven automatic or hand-wound movement in an independent design.

Skip if

You prefer compact watches or have a smaller wrist.
You want quartz convenience with minimal setting, winding, or service concerns.

Value note: The value case leans on mechanical-watch appeal and the brand's design choices more than raw specification dominance.
