Vintage 1960s MuDu Doublematic 25J Swiss Automatic Date Gold Plated 34mm Watch

About this watch

A softly aged ivory-silver dial with long applied baton markers and stylised Arabic numerals at 12, 9 and 6, slim gold-tone hands and a centre seconds hand. At 3 o'clock the date sits beneath a raised magnifier, and the cursive "Doublematic" signature at 6 is a charming period detail.

The 34mm gold-plated case has long, sharply tapered lugs. The stainless steel screw back is signed MuDu and marked Automatic, Swiss Made, Stainless Steel Back, Waterproof and Incabloc. Inside is a MuDu-signed 25-jewel Swiss automatic movement, shown in the photographs.

Brand heritage

MuDu was a Swiss watch name whose 25-jewel Doublematic automatics with date were produced from the late 1950s through the 1960s. Period Doublematic watches are documented with Felsa automatic calibres such as the 4002 and 4007N, and they are appreciated today for their elegant mid-century styling.
