DUG PURIST - A true Glashuette-pedigree treasure for $1500

A GLASHÜTTE TREASURE FOR $1,500? CAN’T BE! Yes… it absolutely can. This is the DUG PURIST TYPE 1 No-Date — a superb everyday watch with the pedigree to compete directly against watches costing significantly more. At first glance, the PURIST appears modest and understated. But beneath that clean exterior is a remarkably impressive specification package: • a beautifully executed textured fumé dial • excellent lume performance • superb legibility • an Elaboré-grade Sellita SW400 automatic movement, attractively decorated and visible through the exhibition caseback • a comfortable leather strap, with an excellent stainless steel bracelet also available • and 100 meters of water resistance for true everyday versatility On paper, it comes dangerously close to becoming a true “spec monster.” But specifications alone do not make a great watch. Join me as we discuss: • the influence of Glashütte on this emerging microbrand • the challenges of establishing a new Glashütte watch company while meeting the stringent requirements of Glashütte law • and why the PURIST may represent one of the BEST Go-Anywhere-Do-Anything watch values currently available under $1,500 USD We’ll examine the watch closely, compare it against several competitors, and determine whether the PURIST genuinely delivers on both quality and value — or simply looks impressive on a specification sheet.
