Movado Men’s Gold-Tone Swiss Quartz Watch (2100005)

Gold case, black dial, gold hands, gold dot. Four elements and nothing else – this is the warmest version of the Movado dial and the one that leans furthest towards formal wear. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A round gold-tone case, polished throughout, with a thin bezel and short curved lugs that pull the strap in close. There is no texture anywhere on it. Against a black dial the gold ring of the bezel is what defines the shape from across a room, and it is a strong effect for a case with no other decoration. \n Dial and Legibility \n Flat black with a light gloss, marked only by the dished gold dot at twelve and the SWISS MOVADO QUARTZ line printed low on the dial. The hour and minute hands are gold-toned, tapered, and left unfilled. Gold on black reads better than silver on black in warm indoor light, which is a small practical advantage of this colourway over the steel version. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Swiss quartz – the dial says so, printed at six \n Hours and minutes – no date and no seconds hand \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Black leather with a pressed lizard grain and a gold-tone pin buckle. Black against gold is the classic pairing and it keeps the watch from tipping over into ostentation. The strap tapers towards the buckle so it sits flat under a cuff. Fit it firm but with room for a finger – a strap kept tight all day creases in one place and will crack there long before the rest of it wears out. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wears a gold ring or gold cufflinks and wants a watch that agrees with them. It belongs with a suit and a dark shoe more than with anything casual. \n Care and Maintenance \n The gold tone is a plated finish over the case, and plating wears through at high-contact points – the caseback edge and the buckle first. Keep it clear of perfume, chlorine and household cleaners, wipe it down after wearing, and never use an abrasive polish. Battery changes belong with a watchmaker so the caseback gasket is reseated when the case is closed. \n About the Brand \n Movado is Swiss, and its best-known dial carries no numerals at all – only a concave dot where twelve would be. The rest of the watch is built to leave that dot alone. \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, delivered nationwide with tracking, and returnable unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The dot is the same gold as the hands, so at certain angles it disappears into the black entirely.
