Dugena Automatic - Ref. 11042 - 25 Jewels - 1970s - 35mm Dugena automatic, reference 11042, from the 1970s. Stainless steel case of approximately 34.5mm on an integrated-style steel bracelet, driven by a 25-jewel Swiss-made automatic movement with date. Dugena traces back to the Deutsche Uhrmacher-Genossenschaft, a German watchmakers' cooperative founded in 1917 with roots alongside Alpina. Through the mid-century the brand fitted quality Swiss calibers into its own cases, and this reference belongs to the 1970s wave of integrated-bracelet steel sport-dress watches that defined the decade. The faceted case, sunken dial and one-piece bracelet line read as the accessible expression of that era's steel-sports design language. - Movement: Automatic, 25 jewels, Swiss-made (ETA base) - Case: Stainless steel, ~35mm (excluding crown), faceted bezel and lugs - Dial: Silver/champagne, applied baton indices, date at 3 o'clock - Crystal: Acrylic - Bracelet: Stainless steel expansion bracelet (integrated style) - Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date - Water resistance: Untested for current vintage seal - Year: 1970s The watch is in very good condition for its age. The dial is clean with only minor aging visible near some indices, the hands are intact, and the acrylic crystal is clear. The case keeps its faceted geometry; the steel expansion bracelet shows very light honest wear. The movement runs well at time of listing. Clean 1970s integrated-bracelet steel automatics in this sport-dress style track the current interest in the genre. From a private Dutch collection. No box or papers.
