Movado Watch (3600437)

A small gold case on a mid-brown leather strap, with a dial that carries nothing but two hands and a stone-set dot. Leather changes this design more than a colour swap would: on a bracelet it is jewellery, on leather it is a watch. Case and Wrist Presence A compact round case in gold-tone plating, with a wide flat rim stepping down to a recessed dial and short flared lugs holding the strap. The crown is a small ribbed disc at three. Because the strap is narrower than the case, the watch reads as a disc sitting on a band rather than as a continuous piece around the wrist. Dial and Legibility Gold with a sunray brush spreading from the centre. No hour markers. The dot at twelve is set with small clear stones and the two hands are slim gold blades. The stones are the only thing on the dial with a different colour temperature, and they are what your eye uses to find twelve before reading the hands against it. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes only. Strap and Fit Smooth mid-brown leather, stitched along both edges and fastened with a pin buckle. A pin buckle sets the fit in fixed steps, so choose the hole that lets you slip a fingertip under the strap rather than the one that feels snug on the first day. Leather softens and takes the shape of the wrist within a fortnight, and a strap set slightly firm at the start usually ends up right. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a gold watch for everyday wear rather than for evenings. Brown leather brings the whole thing down a register and makes it easy to wear with casual clothes. Care and Maintenance Keep leather dry. Water is what makes a strap go stiff and crack at the buckle holes, and no conditioner brings that back. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth, never a polishing one. Replace the strap when the holes stretch rather than moving to the next one along. About the Brand Movado has been Swiss since 1881, and the dot at twelve has represented the brand since the Museum dial of 1947. On a strap this size the dot is a good deal of what you see of the watch.
