Key Features

Vintage 1960’s German-made wristwatch with an in-house automatic shockproof movement, made by the famous Glashutte Original brand who are known for their highly appreciated and valuable watches. The GUB 68.1 caliber was in production from 1960 to 1967, and this timepiece has an original ‘GUB’ shockproof device that was implemented in 1962, dating the watch to 1962-67.

In great mechanical condition, and runs well. There is a slight noise made by the self-wind mechanism that you can sometimes hear when wearing the watch, but it still works well and when worn for the whole day builds up enough energy to run well. Although we do recommend winding the crown 3-5 turns at the end of the day – luckily the winding crown is comfortable and easy  to operate. Apart from this feature, a 6-month guarantee is provided for all other functions.
