Movado Series 800 Men’s Watch (2600162)

The same blacked-out sports case, warmed by rose gold instead of yellow. The bezel ring and the crown carry the colour, the dial repeats it in the hands and markers, and everything else is dark. It is a quieter pairing than black and yellow gold, and it holds up better in daylight. Case and Wrist Presence A tall, flat-topped case in a dark plated finish, with a rotating bezel whose outer edge is milled in rose gold tone. The crown is fluted and matches. Because the only bright surface is that narrow ring, the eye reads the watch as a dark disc with a copper outline rather than as a two-tone piece, which is why it works with more than it should. Dial and Legibility Flat black behind a printed minute track. Applied rose gold batons mark the hours and the hands are cut in the same finish, tapering to a point. The Movado dot at twelve is rose gold as well. SERIES 800 appears in red under the dot and SWISS MADE above six. Rose gold on black is a lower-contrast read than white on black, so this is a dial that rewards daylight. Functions Hours, minutes, running seconds and a date window at three. The bezel is a one-way timing ring with a full minute scale: align the triangle with the minute hand and elapsed minutes can be read off the ring directly. Turning in one direction only is a safety feature, not a limitation. Bracelet and Fit Three rows of black-plated links on a folding clasp, adjusted by removing links. Aim for a fit that lets the watch rotate no more than a few millimetres. A loose plated bracelet wears itself out at the link pins long before the case shows anything. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a dark watch with a bit of warmth in it. Rose gold reads less formal than yellow and sits comfortably against brown leather and denim. Care and Maintenance Wipe the case down with a dry or barely damp cloth. Skip polishes and abrasive cloths entirely; plating has no depth to buff back. Rinse and dry after any contact with salt or chlorine. Let a watchmaker change the battery and refit the gasket in one visit. About the Brand Movado has worked in Switzerland since 1881, and the dot at twelve has stood for the brand since the Museum dial of 1947. Series 800 is where it takes on a bezel and a sports case.
