Dugena Watertrip, Cal. 3605, 1971

Large 12-9-6 numerals and a black-and-silver timing bezel give Dugena Watertrip Cal. 3605 from 1971 its bold sports-watch character. The men's hand-wound watch from this German brand has a black dial, framed date at 3, central seconds and a broad steel-toned case appearance. Its matching folded-link metal bracelet shows vintage age and use, complementing the short lugs and pronounced bezel profile.

Black dial with 12-9-6 numerals

Large luminous Arabic numerals at 12, 9 and 6 structure the black dial, with baton markers at the remaining hours. Dugena is signed below 12, while Watertrip appears above 6 in script. The numeral arrangement gives the face its recognizable sports-watch identity.

The framed date window at 3 has a white disc that contrasts with the dark dial. Slim luminous-style inserts run through the central hour and minute hands, and a central seconds hand completes the three-hand layout. The date balances the large numerals on the opposite side of the face.

Black-and-silver tachymeter-style bezel

The external timing bezel has alternating black and silver sections, printed numerals and a tachymeter-style scale around its edge. A serrated edge adds texture to the pronounced bezel, giving the sports-watch surround a technical appearance.

The broad case has a steel-toned appearance, short lugs, visible depth and a raised crystal. Age-related marks remain on its surfaces. The crown sits at 3 o'clock for access to manual winding, with the case's metal, exact dimensions and crystal material unspecified.

Dugena 3605 and the 1971 example

The Dugena Cal. 3605 is a hand-wound mechanical movement associated with the early 1970s. Its 1970 launch belongs to the caliber's background, separate from the 1971 production year of this Watertrip. The movement requires regular winding.

The bold numeral layout, external timing scale and sturdy case profile express the design of early-1970s sports watches. Its styling is diver-inspired, while the tachymeter-style bezel belongs to the watch's sports appearance.

Folded-link bracelet and serviced condition

A matching metal bracelet gives the watch its continuous steel-toned presentation. It has a vintage folded-link style with visible age and use, in keeping with the worn case surfaces. Its metal grade and wrist-size capacity are unspecified.

The waterproof designation does not establish present water resistance, with no current pressure-test rating documented. This used Dugena is fully serviced and comes with a 12-month warranty. Its black face, distinctive numeral arrangement, date display and black-and-silver bezel retain the particular character of the 1971 Watertrip.
