Movado Watch (3600245)

Steel case, silver dial, and yellow gold used for everything that has to be read: the numerals, the batons, the hands and the dot. The bracelet picks the gold up again in its centre links, so the colour runs the length of the watch instead of stopping at the case. Case and Wrist Presence A plain polished steel case, round, with a thin bezel and short squared lugs. The crown is a small ribbed disc at three. Keeping the case entirely steel is what stops a two-tone watch from becoming heavy-handed; here the gold is confined to the dial and the bracelet centres. Dial and Legibility A silver sunray face with an applied outer track carrying Roman numerals through one half and tapered batons through the other. The dot at twelve is gold and slightly domed. Both hands are gold, flat and pointed. Gold markers on a silver sunray dial hold their contrast at almost any angle, which is more than can be said for a silver-on-silver dial. MOVADO is printed above six. Movement and Functions Hours and minutes, and nothing else. There is no date window to interrupt the ring of numerals and no seconds hand sweeping over them. Bracelet and Fit Broad flat links in steel with gold-tone centre sections, connected by short open links so the bracelet drapes rather than sits rigid. Sizing is by link removal. Two-tone bracelets look best when the clasp ends up centred under the wrist, so count the links you take from each side rather than pulling them all from one end. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wears gold jewellery but wants a steel watch case, or who simply wants one watch that will sit next to either metal. The Roman numerals give it a more traditional look than the blank-dial Movados. Care and Maintenance The steel can be scrubbed gently with warm soapy water; the gold-tone centres are plated and must not meet polish, dip or an abrasive cloth. Dry the bracelet thoroughly. A watchmaker should fit the battery and replace the case gasket in one visit. About the Brand Founded in Switzerland in 1881, Movado is known for the single dot at twelve taken from its 1947 Museum dial. This dial keeps the dot and adds the numerals back around it.
