Movado Watch (3600256)

A white dial with a paved centre, gold numerals around it, and a steel case holding the lot. The bracelet alternates steel and gold links, so the gold on the dial has something to answer to further down the wrist. Case and Wrist Presence Polished steel, round, with a plain bezel and heavy shoulders where the bracelet enters. The crown is a fluted steel button at three. Leaving the case in plain steel keeps the watch from tipping into the ornate, which matters on a dial that is already carrying stones and numerals. Dial and Legibility The outer field is white, with applied gold Roman numerals through one half and gold batons through the other, and a domed gold dot at twelve. The middle of the dial is set with small clear stones, and the gold hands sweep across it. White behind gold gives this dial better contrast than the all-gold version of the same design, and the hands stay readable over the pavé because they sit proud of it. Movement and Functions Hours and minutes. No date aperture and no seconds hand, so nothing crosses the stones. Bracelet and Fit Flat steel links with gold-tone centre sections, joined by open connectors and closed with a folding clasp. It is sized by removing links, and on a two-tone bracelet it is worth balancing the removal between the two sides so the clasp finishes under the wrist rather than off to one edge. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a dress watch that still works in daylight. The white dial keeps it from being purely an evening piece, and the two-tone bracelet means it does not have to be matched to one metal. Care and Maintenance Warm soapy water and a soft brush suit the steel; keep both away from the plated gold centres and use a dry brush around the crystal instead. Dry everything before wearing. Have the battery and the case gasket replaced together by a watchmaker. About the Brand Movado has been Swiss since 1881, and the dot at twelve dates to the 1947 Museum dial. It survives here as the one uninterrupted piece of the original idea.
