Vintage Dugena Safety Calendar – Manual Wind Cal. 1180 – Gold Plated Cushion Case – Silvered Dial with Date – 33mm

A vintage Dugena Safety Calendar dress watch in a softly squared cushion case. The silvered dial carries applied gold-tone baton markers alternating with open square markers, a fine minute track, a date window at 3 o'clock and gold-tone hands with centre seconds, with the "Safety Calendar" signature beneath the Dugena logo. The 20-micron gold-plated case measures approximately 33mm and has a stainless steel back marked "Waterprotected", "Dugena" and "20 Micr. G". Inside is a manual-wind movement signed Dugena calibre 1180. It is fitted with a later brown lizard-embossed leather strap.

Brand heritage

Dugena takes its name from the Deutsche Uhrmacher-Genossenschaft Alpina, the German watchmakers' cooperative founded in 1917. The Dugena name appeared on dials from 1949 onward, and the brand grew into one of the best-known watch names in post-war Germany, sold through the cooperative's member jewellers and fitted with quality German and Swiss movements.

Model history

Dugena used model names such as Safety, Calendar, Tropica and Festa across its range in the 1960s and 1970s. The Safety Calendar was a hand-wound everyday watch with centre seconds and date, and the cushion case of this example gives it the bold, softly squared look typical of the period.
