Purist Model

The DUG Purist model line is the result of over two years of development, aiming to combine traditional Glashütte watchmaking craftsmanship with modern design and an accessible price. The result is a watch that is not only elegant but also durable and suitable for everyday wear.

The Purist is available in two variants: Type 1 with linear indices and Type 2 with numerical indices. Both models offer a choice of three dial colors: onyx black, royal blue, and moon white. An optional date display at 6 o'clock is also available.

The 40 mm stainless steel watch case consists of three parts, with polished and brushed finishes. The case is topped by a slightly domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating. With water resistance up to 100 meters (10 ATM) and shock protection, it is suitable for various activities, including swimming.

At the heart of the watch is the DUG 400 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW 400 caliber, which is hand-assembled and decorated in Glashütte. The movement offers a 40-hour power reserve. The detailed finish of the movement, including blued screws and perlage, is visible through the sapphire case back.

The dial is adorned with applied indices or numerals, adding depth and a sophisticated look. For readability in the dark, Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminescence is used.

The strap is available in genuine buffalo leather or as a stainless steel bracelet with micro-adjustment for fine tuning. Both versions are equipped with a quick-release system for easy, tool-free replacement. This allows the watch to be adapted to different styles and occasions.

The DUG Purist represents a fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern elements, offering an authentic piece of Glashütte watchmaking art at an accessible price.

The Purist Type 1 model is characterized by its clear design with indices, optionally complemented by a date at 6 o'clock.
