Gub Glashutte Spezichron Automatic Cal. 11-27, 1983

Black outlined markers give the silver dial of this 1983 GUB Glashütte Spezichron a bold graphic character. Its angular case combines a 35 mm width with a 42 mm lug-to-lug span, and the back retains Made in GDR engraving. Automatic caliber 11-27, a framed date display and a new black strap complete this men’s watch.

Silver dial with black geometric markers

The silver surface has a soft brushed or sunburst effect that changes under light. Black outlined rectangular hour markers establish a clear contrast against it, with a fine minute track around the outside. The date aperture at 3 o’clock is enclosed by a printed frame, repeating the geometric language of the markers.

Glashütte Spezichron identifies the watch on the dial, with 22 Rubis above 6. Dark straight hour and minute hands stand out against the bright surface, while a central seconds hand completes the display. The result is a dial whose individual details remain easy to distinguish, even with the strong marker outlines.

Angular case and Made in GDR back

Broad shoulders and straight flanks give this German vintage watch its defined exterior. Brushed and polished surfaces separate the upper case form from its edges, and the bezel frames a round dial inside the more faceted outline. The 42 mm overall lug span is useful alongside the 35 mm width when considering how much wrist space it occupies.

A proportionate fluted crown sits at 3 o’clock. The caseback is engraved with Glashütte and Made in GDR, retaining the watch’s East German manufacturing identity.

The new black strap has a smooth, slightly glossy finish. Its color connects with the dark dial furniture, while the 18 mm lug opening defines the strap fit. The strap is a replacement accessory; the watch-head components are original.
