Dugena Dugena-Matic Automatic 1975 - NOS - 34.5 mm

The Dugena Dugena-Matic Automatic is a classic German vintage watch from around 1975. The model combines a gold-plated stainless steel case, hesalite crystal, a snap-on case back, an automatic Förster 224 movement, and a flexible gold-colored fixoflex bracelet.

This particular piece is preserved in exceptional New Old Stock condition. This means the watch has not been used normally or has been worn only minimally. The original protective film is still on the case back, further highlighting the very good state of preservation of this example.

Movement

At the heart of the watch is the automatic Förster 224 movement. This German automatic design was used in watches from the late 1960s and 1970s, appreciated for its robustness, practicality, and smooth operation.

The movement features automatic winding, 25 jewels, operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, and offers approximately 38 hours of power reserve. Thanks to automatic winding, the watch winds itself while being worn on the wrist.

Case and Dial

The case is made of gold-plated stainless steel. It has a classic, round shape and proportions characteristic of elegant watches from the 1970s. The case diameter is approximately 34.5 mm without the crown, approximately 37 mm with the crown, thickness approximately 9 mm, and lug-to-lug dimension approximately 38 mm.

The watch features its original crown and a snap-on, inscribed case back. The original protective film has been preserved on the case back. The model uses hesalite crystal, typical for vintage watches of this period.

The gold-plated case gives the watch a warm, elegant look. The overall appearance is classic, subtle, and stylistically coherent.

Bracelet

The watch is equipped with a flexible gold-colored fixoflex bracelet. The bracelet complements the gold-plated case well and emphasizes the 1970s aesthetic. The lug width is 18 mm.
