Movado Watch (3600460)

This is the version of the design that puts stones where the numerals would be. Eleven small crystals sit in raised collets around the edge of a gold sunray dial, with the usual domed dot holding twelve. It is the rare Movado face that can be read to the hour without guessing. Case and Wrist Presence A broad, shallow gold-tone case with a polished rim and a shallow chamfer dropping to the dial. Flat lug plates hold the mesh close against the case with no visible spring bars, and the crown is a ribbed cylinder at three. A wide case on a woven bracelet is a lighter watch than the same case on solid links, which matters at this diameter. Dial and Legibility Gold, brushed in fine rays outward from the centre, with the stone markers set into a slightly raised ring around the perimeter. Each crystal sits in a small faceted collet that catches light independently of the dial. The dot at twelve is gold and domed. Both hands are gold blades. The stones give the eye eleven fixed points to measure against, which turns a notoriously vague dial into a readable one. Movement and Functions Quartz. Hours and minutes only, with no date and no seconds hand. Bracelet and Fit Gold-tone Milanese mesh, woven fine and closed with a clasp that grips anywhere along the weave. That makes the fit continuously adjustable rather than fixed in link steps, which is useful in summer when a wrist swells. Mesh drapes over the wrist bone instead of bridging it, so it stays comfortable without being tightened. Who This Watch Suits Someone who likes the Movado face but wants markers on it, and who would rather have the sparkle spread around the dial than concentrated in one dot. Care and Maintenance Rinse the mesh under warm water to clear soap and salt from the weave, then dry it thoroughly; a plated mesh corrodes from inside if it is left damp. Use a dry brush around the crystal. No polish, no abrasive cloths. A watchmaker should do the battery and the case gasket together. About the Brand Movado, Swiss since 1881, built its identity on the dot at twelve from the 1947 Museum dial. Adding markers back to that face is unusual for the brand, and it produces a genuinely different watch.
