Min Woo wears the De Bethune DB28xs Starry Seas both on and off the course. Constructed with an ultra-lightweight titanium case with ergonomically designed lugs, it is not only comfortable to wear, but its advanced shock absorption system enables it to withstand the rigors of competition and extreme force. The random guilloché dial of the DB28xs Starry Seas mirrors the tranquil ripples of the ocean at night, with stars reflecting off the water – a fitting symbol of Min Woo Lee's precise and dynamic presence on the course.
The 1916 Company has a deeply connected relationship with De Bethune, which includes serving as its majority investor and primary point of distribution in the United States, Switzerland, and Asia. De Bethune's flagship lounge, the brand's first dedicated space in the United States, was inaugurated within The 1916 Company's New York location in March 2025.
John Shmerler, CEO of The 1916 Company, remarked, "We are thrilled to welcome Min Woo as a friend of The 1916 Company. He joins fellow athletes, tennis players Tommy Paul, Jessica Pegula, and Emma Navarro, and golfer Wenyi Ding, to be amongst the few elite competitors to wear a fine timepiece while performing at the highest level – exemplifying the union of precision, style, and sport."
Min Woo Lee shared, "I couldn't be prouder to partner with The 1916 Company, a brand that shares my passion for pushing boundaries in style."
