Movado Watch (3600373)

A wide gold case on a woven gold mesh, with a dial that carries almost nothing: a domed dot at twelve, two thin hands, and a ring of fine indices around the outside. The mesh is what makes it work, because a solid gold bracelet at this width would be a great deal of watch. Case and Wrist Presence Broad and thin, with a narrow polished bezel and a stepped inner ring that carries the indices. Flat lug plates hold the mesh directly against the case with no visible spring bars. The crown is a small ribbed cylinder at three. A shallow case of this diameter sits flat and slides under a cuff instead of catching on it. Dial and Legibility Gold, brushed in fine rays from the centre out, so the face shifts between pale champagne and deep gold as the wrist turns. The dot at twelve is textured and domed. The hands are slim gold blades. The baton indices printed on the outer step are the only thing preventing this from being a completely blank dial, and they earn their place: without them the time would be a guess rather than a reading. Functions Hours and minutes. No date, no running seconds. Bracelet and Fit Milanese mesh in a matching gold tone, woven fine and closed with a sliding clasp. Because it grips anywhere along the weave, the fit is continuously adjustable rather than fixed in link steps, which is useful if your wrist changes size in the heat. Mesh drapes over the wrist bone rather than bridging it, so it stays comfortable at low tension. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a gold watch that is not heavy. The mesh keeps the weight down and the width of the case gives it presence, which is an unusual combination in a gold-tone piece. Care and Maintenance Rinse the mesh through with warm water to clear soap and salt from the weave, then dry it properly, since a plated mesh corrodes from the inside if left damp. No polish and no abrasive cloths on the plating. A watchmaker should handle the battery and the gasket. About the Brand Movado has been Swiss since 1881. The dot at twelve from the 1947 Museum dial remains its signature, and on a face this empty it is doing most of the design work on its own.
