Purist Type 1 (37mm - Baton Indexes) Preorder

DUG 37mm watches ship in 8-10 weeks from New York with no importation fees for US shipments.

DUG introduces the Purist Type 1 in a new 37mm case, bringing the line's disciplined take on German watchmaking to a smaller, more versatile size. From the watchmaking town of Glashütte, it leans into clarity, proportion, and everyday usability. Where the Type 2 switches to classic Arabic numerals, the Type 1 keeps to clean line markers for a purer, more minimalist read. The result is a clean, balanced three-hander with just enough detail in the textured dial and applied indices to keep things interesting, without ever straying from its minimalist brief.

To carry Glashütte on the dial, a watch must have at least 50% of its value created in Glashütte, a designation only a handful of brands meet. DUG meets that bar and delivers it in a compelling package.

Built around a 37mm three-part stainless-steel case, the new Purist Type 1 wears with quiet confidence. A height of 10.35mm, 43.9mm lug-to-lug, and 18mm lug width suit smaller and average-sized wrists the 40mm case doesn't always fit. A slightly domed, double anti-reflective sapphire crystal up front and a sapphire caseback deliver durability and clarity, while 100m (10 ATM) water resistance makes it a true daily watch. The textured dial, applied baton indices, and BGW9 Super-LumiNova bring crisp legibility in Black, White, or Blue.

Inside, the new 37mm Purist Type 1 is powered by the DUG 200 automatic movement, a rhodium-plated caliber based on the Sellita SW200 and finished in Glashütte with perlage, bevels, blued screws, and an openworked, 24k gold-plated rotor. With a 40-hour power reserve and reliable 4Hz architecture, it delivers modern performance with classic automatic charm. Paired with either a genuine buffalo leather strap or a finely adjustable stainless-steel bracelet—both with a quick-change system—this new size gives the Purist Type 1 a thoughtful, fully mechanical package built for a wider range of wrists.
