Movado Series 800 Men’s Watch (2600144)

Gold case, gold bracelet, blue dial and blue bezel. It is the loudest configuration of the Series 800 and it commits properly: there is no steel anywhere to soften it. Blue and yellow gold is an old pairing and it still looks expensive. Case and Wrist Presence A round case in a yellow gold tone over stainless steel, with a coined bezel edge, a heavily fluted crown and a shoulder guarding it. Bright warm metal reflects more light than steel, so the case reads larger and draws the eye more. This is a watch for someone who is comfortable being noticed. Dial and Legibility A blue sunray dial running from mid-blue in the centre to navy at the flange, with applied gold batons, gold arrowhead markers at the quarters and gold hands. At twelve, the Movado dot in place of a marker. Gold on blue is warm and legible in most light, though not as stark as steel on blue would be. SERIES 800 is printed in red beneath the wordmark, and SWISS MADE at six. Movement and Functions A date window at three, framed and set into the blue. That is the extent of the complications, which suits a dial built around a single graphic idea. Bezel The bezel turns and carries a 60-minute scale in white with a luminous triangle at twelve. Set the triangle against the minute hand to time anything from a parking bay to a run. Bracelet and Fit A three-row gold-tone bracelet with wide flat centre links, tapering to the clasp. It is heavy, which is what stops a bright gold-tone watch from feeling insubstantial. Sizing is by link removal. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wears gold and wants their watch to agree with it. It works with a suit and it works with an open collar, and it is not subtle in either. Care and Maintenance Gold-tone plating is a surface layer. Wipe it with a soft cloth and never polish it, and keep it away from chlorine and perfume. Rinse and dry the bracelet after a swim, particularly between the links. About the Brand Movado is a Swiss watch house, and its Museum dial, one dot at twelve and no numerals, is among the most copied watch faces ever made. Series 800 carries that dot on a sports case.
