The Glashütte Spezimatic line was introduced in the mid-1960s by the East German manufacture Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB). These automatic wristwatches were developed to showcase in-house innovation at a time when Glashütte was the state-run hub of German watchmaking. The Spezimatic models became a defining watch of the GDR era, known for their reliability, functional design, and the characteristic Calibre 75x series automatic movements.

This example, dating from the late 1960s to early 1970s, features a 33mm case with 14K gold-plating (40 micron “Plaqué 14K” finish), paired with a striking sunburst blue dial. The dial design is clean and minimal, with applied gold indices, matching hands, and a framed date window at 3 o’clock.
