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 watches that are 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 indicator at the 6 o'clock position is also available.

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

At the heart of the watch is the automatic DUG 400 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 finishing 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. Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous coating is used to ensure readability in the dark.

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 various styles and occasions.

The DUG Purist represents a blend 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 look with indices.

The "Granitgrau" limited edition comes with a beautifully grey dial with a gradient transition from a light shade in the center to a dark tone at the outer edge of the dial. The limited edition is available in a version without a date window.
