Movado Watch (3600323)

A gold watch with a gold dial and gold numerals on it, which sounds like a recipe for illegibility and is saved by two things: the markers are raised, and the middle of the dial sits lower than the ring that carries them. Shadow does the work that colour usually would. Case and Wrist Presence Round, gold-tone throughout, with a wide flat bezel that slopes gently in towards the dial and thick shoulders where the bracelet enters. A fluted crown sits at three. The polished bezel is the brightest surface on the watch and it frames the face like a border, so the dial itself looks smaller and more contained than the diameter suggests. Dial and Legibility The outer ring carries applied Roman numerals down one half and slim batons down the other, with the domed dot marking twelve. Inside them a sunken sunray disc holds the hands. Both hands are thin gold blades. The step between the ring and the disc throws a permanent shadow that gives the numerals an edge, which is what makes a tone-on-tone dial workable. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes. No date window, no running seconds. Bracelet and Fit A three-row gold-tone bracelet with brushed outer rows and polished centre links, closing on a folding clasp and sized by removing links. Get the fit close: a plated bracelet that swings on the wrist grinds link against link and shows it at the pins first. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a traditional gold dress watch shape with a modern face. The Roman numerals give it a classical look that the plain Movado dials avoid entirely. Care and Maintenance Gold-tone plating is thin and cannot be polished back once it goes. A dry soft cloth is the only tool it needs. Keep perfume, hairspray and pool water away from it. Have a watchmaker fit the battery and reseat the gasket together. About the Brand Movado has made watches in Switzerland since 1881. The dot at twelve, drawn for the Museum dial in 1947, has outlived nearly every other dial design of its era, and it holds the top of this face the same way it does on a blank one.
