1970s Dugena Monza Chronograph Valjoux Cal. 7733
In 1942, with the Axis Powers finally defeated, the little-known brand, Dugena, was born. Or rather reborn, from the remains of the once-great watch brand, Alpina. The well-known company was disallowed from selling watches in Germany during the war, so at the first chance, they changed their name and once again began to build robust, gorgeous watches and found fantastic success. Dugena as a brand and this "Monza" model, in particular, are the types of things that make watch collecting so rewarding, and just straight-up fun.
