Really Cool Dugena Manual Jump Hour Watch - Amida/Dugena 4400

This is a really cool German brand - Dugena housing a Swiss made Amida 140 hand wind jewel lever movement. Amida as a watch company wasn't particularly famous for its quality especially for some of its pin lever escapements which weren't that great in my opinion. However this movement has a jewel lever and is a diferent league in terms of accuracy and durability. It has a minimalistic case design and dial.
