Movado Watch (3600129)

The reverse of the usual two-tone arrangement: the case is gold and the dial is silver, rather than a steel case around a champagne face. A wide gold rim surrounds a sunken silver disc, and the effect is closer to a framed picture than to a watch face. Case and Wrist Presence Round, shallow, and gold-tone all over, with a broad flat top ring taking up a good third of the width of the watch. The lugs are short and integrated, and a fluted gold crown sits at three. That wide rim shrinks the visible dial, so the watch has the footprint of a larger piece and the face of a smaller one. Dial and Legibility Silver with a fine sunray brush that runs out from the centre. No numerals, no batons. The Movado dot at twelve is gold, and the two hands are gold as well, cut flat and tapering slightly. Gold over silver reads well from across a room. MOVADO is printed small below the centre. Movement and Functions Quartz, showing hours and minutes. Nothing else has been added, and the emptiness of the dial is the point rather than an omission. Bracelet and Fit Flat gold-tone links with polished steel centre sections, joined by open connectors that keep the whole thing light. It is sized by removing links and closes with a folding clasp. Because the contrast repeats along the bracelet, an uneven fit shows: aim to have the clasp sit centred underneath the wrist. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants the warmth of a gold watch without a gold dial to go with it. The silver face keeps the watch readable and stops the whole thing from reading as a bangle. Care and Maintenance Plating is a surface treatment: soft dry cloth only, no polish, no dip, no abrasive. Keep it clear of chlorinated water and cosmetics. When the watch stops, take it to a watchmaker who will change the battery and reseat the gasket rather than just clipping the back on. About the Brand Movado has made watches in Switzerland since 1881. The dot at twelve, drawn for the 1947 Museum dial, is one of the few watch designs of the last century that is recognised without a name on it.
