FS: Dugena diver in Dixi case (Squale, Zenith), 30 atm, bakelit

Hi,

another nice vintage wristwatch has to leave me.

It is a very rare Dugena vintage diver in a Dixi case from end of 70s/beginning of 80s.
The Dixi case was known as a potent diver case and was used by some very interesting companies, such as Squale, Zenith, Blancpain.
Dugena labeled this watch up to 30 atm (300m/1000ft), other brands labeled this case with 60 atm (but do not try the water resistance with this rare and collectible watches, it is not tested!!).

The case measures 39.5 x 47mm.
The movement is a Dugena 3329, a labeled ETA 2630 movement.
The watch has a day+date.
The watch has a big screwed crown.
The nice bakelite bezel has a black/red colour.
The lugs have 19mm.

The watch is over all in good condition.
The case has only minor signs of wear on the front.
The shape is sharp, the bezel turns with clicks to both sides.
On the back, the watch has some bigger signs of use (see pics) from opening.
The screwed crown works as it should.
The movement runs well, with high amplitude (see pic).
The date has a quick set, the day not (see: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?01&ranfft&&2uswk&ETA_2630& ).
First, you have to set the day and then with quickset the date.

Here are more informations about this kind of watch:

https://uhrforum.de/dixi-dugena-aus-den-70ern-t135428

The watch comes with the (probably) correct box and the old (heavily used) genuine(?) Dugena 19/16mm leather strap.
Mounted is a stainless steel bracelet (not Dugena!).

Over all a rare and nice vintage Diver branded with Dugena.

The watch is located in germany.
A EU deal is preferred.

The watch could leave me for 530 Euro + shipping.
Payment per bank wire or Paypal F+F, if Paypal, please add 4% for fees.
