Movado Watch (3600381)

A small steel watch with one line of colour on it. The dial is silver, the case and bracelet are steel, and a fine rose gold ring traces the edge of the sunken centre disc. That thread of warmth is the entire decorative budget of the design. Case and Wrist Presence A compact round case with a broad polished rim curving in towards the dial, and short lugs that meet the bracelet almost immediately. The crown is a small ribbed button at three. The wide rim and the narrow dial opening make this a watch that looks neat rather than small, which is a difficult effect to get right on a slim wrist. Dial and Legibility The centre is a silver sunray disc ringed in rose gold, set below a plain white outer band. The dot at twelve is polished steel and domed, and the two hands are fine silver blades. There are no hour markers. The rose gold ring is what stops the eye sliding off the dial, and the recess gives the hands somewhere to cast a shadow so they can be found. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes only. Bracelet and Fit A steel bracelet of open hexagonal links, polished on the flats, which shows skin through the gaps and keeps the weight low. It closes on a folding clasp and is sized by removing links. An open link bracelet will catch a fine knit if worn loose, so set it close to the wrist. Who This Watch Suits Someone with a slimmer wrist who wants a quiet steel watch with one warm detail in it. The rose gold ring means it does not clash with either rose or silver jewellery. Care and Maintenance Warm soapy water and a soft brush clear the open links, which trap more than a solid bracelet does. Dry it fully afterwards. Have the battery fitted and the case gasket replaced at the same visit by a watchmaker. About the Brand Movado has made watches in Switzerland since 1881. The dot at twelve, from the 1947 Museum dial, is the brand’s whole argument about what a watch face needs, and it survives here unchanged on a much smaller case.
