Model Purist Typ 2 California Dial

The Purist Typ 2 California model from DUG embodies everything watch lovers expect from Saxon masters: uncompromising quality, technical restraint, and functional beauty. This version, however, adds something extra – the iconic California Dial, which breaks the austerity of classic minimalism and gives the watch a unique collector's character. The model is primarily intended for the American market, where the brand is represented by our friends from the significant media outlet Worn & Wound.

What catches the eye at first glance is the fascinating dial layout. The California Dial combines Roman numerals in the upper half with Arabic numerals in the lower half. This historical element, originally designed for maximum legibility in demanding conditions, here acquires a modern, even artistic touch.

The designers in Glashütte focused on absolute purism – there is nothing to disturb the visual harmony. The case is made of high-quality stainless steel with fine brushing, complemented by a polished bezel, creating an interesting contrast of textures. Thanks to the sapphire crystal and a top-of-the-line Swiss movement (hand-decorated and fitted with an in-house manufactured gilded rotor) inside, these watches are not only an aesthetic accessory but a reliable partner for everyday wear. They are an ideal choice for those who seek "quiet luxury" – watches that don't scream their price to the world but subtly demonstrate their owner's refined taste.
