Movado Women’s Blue Dial Watch (2100010)

Deep blue in a small steel circle, with a single silver dot at twelve and two fine hands. There is nothing else on the dial, and on a case this size that emptiness is what makes the colour register. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A compact polished steel case, thin through the middle, with a narrow bezel and slim curved lugs. Everything about the proportions is scaled for a smaller wrist – the strap is narrow, the crown is small, and the case sits inside the width of the wrist rather than across it. It disappears under a sleeve. \n Dial and Legibility \n A saturated blue, close to indigo, unmarked but for the dished dot at twelve and MOVADO printed in small type near the bottom. The hands are polished steel and unfilled. Against blue they hold their outline better than they would against black, so the watch stays readable indoors as well as out – though without a minute track you are always reading minutes by hand angle. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Hours and minutes – a two-hand dial with no calendar and no seconds hand \n Clean surface – nothing is cut into the dial, which is why the blue runs uninterrupted to the rim \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A slim black leather strap with a lizard grain and a steel pin buckle. The strap is narrow to match the case, which stops the watch from feeling top-heavy. Leather this thin breaks in within a week or two and moulds to the wrist; the trade is that it wears out sooner than a thick strap, and it will eventually need replacing. \n Who This Watch Suits \n A woman who wants a small watch with colour in it rather than another black or white dial. Blue and steel is quiet enough for the office and dressy enough for the evening. \n Care and Maintenance \n Hand cream and perfume are harder on a leather strap than water is – put the watch on after both. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth and nothing more. Use a watchmaker for the battery; a small slim caseback needs the right tool and a properly seated gasket on closing. \n About the Brand \n Movado is a Swiss watch brand whose dials are known for having nothing on them. A single concave dot stands in for twelve, and no numerals appear anywhere. \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. New and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, shipped nationwide with tracking, and returnable unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The dot sits closer to the rim than most people expect – it marks the twelve, not the top of the dial.
