Moonlit Mesh Watch

There are watches… and then there are conversation pieces.
This vintage Dugena Classic, affectionately named “Moonlit Mesh”, is a silver-plated mechanical beauty — a rare gem in our curation. With its elegant oval dial and lustrous snake-patterned mesh bracelet, this piece doesn’t just tell time — it tells a story.

✦ Design & Details

The dial, a deep slate black with a subtle sunburst effect, rests under a slightly domed glass that carries only the faintest hairline marks — visible only when caught by direct sunlight. It whispers character, not wear. Around the dial, a finely ridged bezel adds a touch of vintage sophistication.

The watch face reads DUGENA and CLASSIC — a nod to the brand’s iconic mid-century designs. Measuring approximately 2.5 cm x 2 cm, the dial sits gracefully on the wrist, while the silver-plated bracelet stretches comfortably to fit up to 18–19 cm, yet is also adjustable at any watch store (please note we don’t offer resizing ourselves).

But what truly sets this piece apart is its wristband texture — a cross between polished snakeskin and woven mesh. It’s soft, smooth, and sparkles with a gentle shimmer in the light. No discoloration, no flaking — this strap is in flawless vintage condition, a rarity for its age. Only the inner clasp shows the slightest sign of time, hidden from view when worn.

✦ Movement

Inside ticks a hand-wound mechanical movement — a timeless mechanism that requires no battery. Just wind the crown daily and you’re set. If it stops, don’t panic — simply twist the crown and feel it come alive again. Dugena movements are known for their reliability, and in our experience, once you keep winding, it keeps shining.

✦ About the Brand

Founded in Germany in 1917, Dugena became a household name in Europe through its dedication to durable, affordable quality. Their watches are known for marrying precision with design — and this model is no exception. It’s robust, elegant, and utterly wearable.

✦ Why You’ll Love It

We don’t often get silver-toned watches this dazzling. The oval face adds a rare silhouette, and the texture of the band feels like vintage haute couture for the wrist. Whether paired with a minimalist outfit or layered with bracelets, Moonlit Mesh is that rare accessory that makes everything else feel finished.
