Vintage MuDu Doublematic Automatic Wristwatch – Felsa 4002 – Working

Description

A vintage Swiss-made MuDu Doublematic automatic wristwatch powered by the respected Felsa 4002 automatic movement. This attractive mid-century wristwatch remains in working order and features a date display at 3 o’clock, gold plated case, and a heavily aged original dial with plenty of vintage character.

The watch winds, sets, and runs correctly, with the automatic movement functioning as intended. The dial is signed MuDu 25 Jewels and Doublematic, while the movement is marked Thirty 30 Jewels Swiss, suggesting one of the two isn't original to the watch. The watch is fitted with a worn black lizard skin strap and would make an interesting addition to any vintage Swiss watch collection.
