Dugena Vintage Diver 200m Automatic Eta 2783
The ETA 2783 is a well-regarded automatic movement, likely produced from the late 1960s to the 1970s, known for its reliability. It features 25 jewels, operates at 21,600 beats per hour, and offers a power reserve of about 42 hours. This movement includes a quickset date function, making it both functional and user-friendly, and is a precursor to modern automatic calibers, favored by watch enthusiasts for its robust design.
Dugena, with roots in Switzerland and established in Germany in 1917, expanded into diver watches during the 1960s and 1970s. Their Watertrip series, including models like the Vintage Diver 200m, featured stainless steel cases, bidirectional bezels, and high-domed acrylic crystals, offering 200m water resistance. These watches, often powered by movements like the ETA 2783, were designed for both professional and recreational divers, and are now prized by collectors for their historical significance and timeless design.
