HI OF!
I sometimes stroll the bay for interesting "cheap" vintage chronos. I usually just searching for "valjoux" or "Landeron/lemania" etc.
So yesterday I pulled the trigger on this one .... I saw the dial and I just had to have it!
It screams funky 70's to me and if my little gamble plays out it looks like the inner dial is sunburst blue, the outer ring turned tropical and the tritium patina is just through the roof! And a Base 1000 tachyscale to top it all of!
Panda nonetheless and I see so many similarities to other watches I like in this dial.
And after all, Dugena has a little special place in my heart. After the Second World War they moved their facility's to Germany. Namely to Darmstadt, my home town where I grew up. The company's headquarters were right around my neighborhood and I remember this building from an early age on. Also my first "real" automatic wristwatch was a Dugena Diver, that I still own and love.
Former Dugena headquarters in Darmstadt:
It seems not many people are into Dugena, albeit their early vintage chronos command premium prices these days! But generally they can still be found considerably cheap, especially in Germany!
I'd love to see pictures of other OF' members Dugenas, if there are any?
Some more pictures of my watch, better ones will follow when it arrives next week
😉.
Cheers,
Max
