Movado Watch (3600438)

Rose gold against dark brown, which is a warmer and quieter pairing than the same case on a metal bracelet. The dial has two hands and a stone-set dot on it and nothing else at all. Case and Wrist Presence A small round case in rose gold plating, with a broad polished rim and a shallow bevel dropping to the dial. Four short lugs hold the strap tight against the case sides. The crown is a ribbed cylinder at three. The rim is wide relative to the dial, which gives the watch more weight on the wrist than the size of the face suggests. Dial and Legibility A rose gold sunray brush, ringed by a plain outer band in the same tone. The dot at twelve is paved with small clear stones. Two thin rose gold hands sweep over an otherwise empty face. Reading the time is a matter of hand angle rather than markers; the stones fix twelve for you and the recess in the dial gives the hands a shadow so they can be found in poor light. Functions Hours and minutes. No date, no seconds hand. Strap and Fit Dark brown leather, smooth-finished, stitched along both edges and closed with a pin buckle. The strap tapers slightly towards the buckle so it sits neatly under the wrist. Set the fit so a fingertip slides under it; leather beds in over the first couple of weeks and a strap that starts marginally firm finishes comfortable. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants rose gold without the shine of a full metal bracelet. Brown leather keeps it in the everyday register and it will sit against a shirt cuff without catching. Care and Maintenance Keep the strap out of water, which stiffens leather and cracks it at the holes. Clean the case with a soft dry cloth and never a polish, since the rose gold is a plating. When the strap goes limp or the holes elongate, fit a new one rather than tightening a notch. About the Brand Movado has worked in Switzerland since 1881. Its dot at twelve, from the 1947 Museum dial, is one of the few watch designs recognised without a brand name attached to it.
