Dugena Monza Automatic Ref.251, Cal. 3338, 1976
A square case with rounded corners gives Dugena Monza Automatic Ref. 251 from 1976 its shaped dress-sport character. The men's watch from a German brand has a grey-silver sunburst dial, applied baton markers and day-date at 3, with central seconds and a black leather strap. Dugena Cal. 3338, associated with the ETA 2770 family, supplies automatic winding within the slim, polished steel-toned case presentation.
Square Monza profile and short lugs
The case has a square outline with softly rounded corners, a broad front and short lugs. Its polished steel-toned surfaces and raised acrylic-style crystal give the watch a structured geometric appearance. The side profile is slim enough for regular wear, with actual case metal and crystal material unspecified.
The square form gives this Monza a stronger visual identity than a standard round dress watch. Its rounded corners, polished finish and clean dial express the design of mid-1970s shaped-case watches while retaining a balanced dress-sport presentation.
Sunburst dial and a framed day-date
The grey-silver dial has a sunburst finish that changes tone with the light. Applied baton markers add depth to the clear face. Dugena is signed below 12, with Automatic text on the lower dial and an outer minute track framing the display.
A framed day-date aperture at 3 supplies weekday and date information. Central seconds accompany the hours and minutes. The calendar separates this example from simpler no-date Monza models, without disturbing the clean arrangement of the dial.
Caliber 3338 automatic function
Dugena Cal. 3338 is an automatic movement associated with the ETA 2770 family. Its mid-1970s day-date generation suits the documented calendar layout. The movement has an automatic rotor and traditional mechanical construction.
Automatic winding provides regular-use convenience alongside central seconds, day and date. The family connection helps explain its automatic day-date construction.
Caseback marks, black leather and service
Normal marks from age and previous handling remain on the caseback. They accompany the used vintage condition.
A black leather strap complements the neutral sunburst dial and polished case. It keeps the shaped Monza case prominent and suits dress, office or smart-casual use.
This used Dugena is fully serviced and comes with a 12-month warranty. Reference 251, the rounded square outline, light-changing dial and Cal. 3338 day-date construction remain its particular 1976 distinctions.
