Genuine leather strap with folding clasp

Glashütte has been synonymous with the highest level of watchmaking worldwide since 1845. Your watch proudly bears the name "Glashütte" on the dial. It meets the strict criteria for this designation of origin, which were clearly defined by the federal government in the so-called Glashütte Ordinance.

A three-part case, as used in the Purist, is more complex to manufacture, but allows for more precise processing and gives the watch a robust structure and an elegant appearance at the same time. A flawless case finish with an elaborate bevel is the icing on the cake of the DUG Purist. The polished and brushed surfaces create a play of light and shadow that further underlines the noble character of the watch.

The dial is protected by a slightly domed sapphire crystal. Sapphire crystal is exceptionally hard and almost impervious to scratches—nearly as hard as a diamond. To keep reflections from obscuring the details of the dial, the sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating on both sides.

A detail that underscores its exclusivity: the applied indices add depth to the dial and create a refined appearance. Compared with printed indices, this technique is more elaborate and noticeably elevates the dial. Tilt the watch and experience the three-dimensional contours of its “face.”

For excellent readability in the dark, the indices are coated with particularly high-performance Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material. This preserves the distinctive face of the Purist, with its prominent index at 12 o’clock, even in darkness.

A look through the sapphire crystal case back reveals the carefully decorated and rhodium-plated DUG 400 movement. Each individual movement is assembled and adjusted by hand in Glashütte. This care is reflected in the elaborate watchmaking finish with blued screws, perlage and bevelled edges. The rotor, precision-made in Glashütte, gives the Purist an additional personal, luxurious touch and sets it apart from the competition in its price segment.

A small but significant detail: the date disc is not in a standard color, but has been specially adapted for the Purist and the various dial colors. This is a complex, manual process that involves washing, priming and reprinting each individual disc. This detail creates a harmonious overall picture and underlines the attention to detail that has gone into this watch.

The quick-change system on the strap allows you to change the strap effortlessly and without tools, depending on whether you prefer a metal or leather strap. This means the watch can be quickly adapted to different occasions or styles.
