The UMF Ruhla 1256-1 Automatic combines classic watchmaking tradition with modern mechanical precision. Manufactured in Ruhla, Thuringia, one of the historic centers of the German watch industry, this model reflects the long heritage of the famous Ruhla watch factories, which have been producing mechanical timepieces since the 19th century.

As a limited edition of only 499 pieces worldwide, this watch has already become a rare find and is particularly attractive for collectors of fine mechanical watches.

Special Feature: Spring-Lid Case

A distinctive highlight of this model is the integrated spring lid – a construction typically known from historical pocket watches.

By pressing the side pusher, the flat lid opens and reveals the movement while also protecting it. This rare feature combines nostalgic charm with modern wristwatch engineering. Despite the complex construction, the watch remains comfortable to wear with a case height of approximately 13 mm.

Reliable Swiss Mechanics

Inside the watch beats the proven ETA 2824-2 automatic movement in Elaboré grade, one of the most respected and reliable mechanical movements in the watch industry.

Known for its precision, durability and excellent serviceability, this Swiss movement ensures accurate timekeeping for many years. Through the sapphire exhibition case back, the mechanical movement can be admired while in operation.
