Produced during the formative years of VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB)—a state-run amalgamation of prewar Glashütte brands—it merges traditional design with the utilitarian precision of the postwar era. The watch features a beautifully preserved salmon dial, a rare and coveted color among vintage collectors. One of its most visually striking elements is the crab (or claw) lug design—a sculptural, almost architectural feature that gives the case a dynamic silhouette despite its modest vintage size. At its heart beats the GUB Caliber 60, a sturdy hand-wound mechanical movement born out of the Glashütte region’s postwar rebuilding efforts. The Cal. 60 is known for its reliability and simplicity, reflecting the technical ethos of the time. Completing the package is a premium black reptile leather strap—a tasteful and high-quality upgrade that brings out the warmth of the dial and enhances the overall vintage sophistication of the watch. Case size: 37 mm Case material: Gold-plated stainless steel Movement: Mechanical Cal. 60 Made in Germany
