A bold and characterful Dugena Monza from the 1970s, inspired by the golden era of motorsport and named after the legendary Monza racing circuit. Sharing its design philosophy with other Monza-themed models by brands such as Heuer and Rotary, this watch reflects clear Gran Turismo influence in both its strong case architecture and confident dial layout. The watch is in very good vintage condition. The gold-plated case is strong and solid, with honest light wear consistent with age and no excessive polishing, preserving its sharp cushion-case geometry. The original acrylic crystal is well kept, and the dial is clean and highly legible, with striking applied markers that add depth and character. The movement has been serviced and tested, running correctly. A 12-month warranty is applied.
Dugena is one of Germany’s most historically significant watch brands, founded in 1917 as a cooperative of German watchmakers (“Deutsche Uhrmacher-Genossenschaft Alpina”). Throughout the mid-20th century, Dugena became a major supplier of military and service watches, producing reliable timepieces for armed forces and professional use. In parallel, Dugena maintained a strong UK market presence, distributing Swiss-made mechanical watches that combined German design sensibility with Swiss or German movements. By the 1960s and 1970s, the brand embraced bolder, more international styling – resulting in distinctive models where motorsport inspiration meets solid everyday usability.
Inside is the reliable ETA 2763 manual movement, known for its robustness and ease of service. In Dugena’s catalogue this calibre is designated as Dugena 3344, reflecting the brand’s long-standing practice of carefully selecting proven Swiss ébauches for its watches.
