Movado Calendoplan Chronograph Watch (3650015)

Blue and gold on a bracelet, with SWISS MADE printed at the foot of the dial. This is the fullest version of the design – no strap to soften it, the same warm metal from the bezel to the clasp. Case and Wrist Presence Round gold-tone case with a thin polished bezel and lugs that curve down into the bracelet end links. Two cylindrical pushers sit either side of a fluted crown on the right. A gold-tone bracelet adds visible weight to a watch and this one is no exception: it sits with more presence than the leather versions of the same case, and it stays put on the wrist. Dial and Legibility Deep blue with applied gold-tone markers – a wide triangle at twelve, tapered batons elsewhere – and a printed minute track. MOVADO sits above centre with calendoplan in italic below it, and SWISS MADE at six. The chronograph registers are champagne with fine engine turning: sixty minutes at three, thirty at six. The weekday arc runs from SUN to SAT on the left with a slender pointer crossing it, and the date shows through a framed aperture at four thirty. Warm metal on blue is a softer contrast than white on black, so this is a dial that wants daylight. Movement and Functions The upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph, the lower one returns it to zero. Elapsed minutes gather in the two sub-registers while the central hand sweeps. Day and date are set from the crown. The day pointer is the useful bit: it puts the whole week on the dial instead of one three letter abbreviation. Bracelet and Fit A close-linked gold-tone bracelet made up of many small elements across its width, so it follows the wrist rather than bridging it. Small links mean small adjustment steps, which makes an exact fit straightforward. Have a jeweller size it: on a plated bracelet, a slipped tool mark shows permanently. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a full-dress chronograph and is not looking to play it down. Blue keeps it from tipping into ostentation, but this is a watch that will be noticed. Care and Maintenance Never operate the pushers wet. Plating wears where metal rubs metal, so a properly sized bracelet lasts better than a loose one; rinse and dry it rather than scrubbing, and keep it out of chlorinated water. No polish, no abrasive cloths. A watchmaker should handle the battery and reseat the gasket. About the Brand Movado has been a Swiss house since 1881, and the Calendoplan name belongs to its calendar watches. The weekday arc is the piece of that heritage this dial keeps front and centre.
