Movado Women’s Gold-Tone Swiss Quartz Watch (2100006)

A small gold case around a black dial with one gold dot at the top. Shrink the Movado design and it stops being a watch you read and becomes something closer to a bracelet with a purpose. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Polished gold-tone steel, compact, with a fine bezel and slim lugs curving down to a narrow strap. The case is thin and there is no crown guard or bezel work to add bulk, so it slips under a sleeve without effort. On a small wrist the proportions are right: the lugs stop well inside the wrist edge rather than overhanging it. \n Dial and Legibility \n Black with a slight gloss, empty except for the dished gold dot at twelve and the small SWISS MOVADO QUARTZ line at the base. The gold hands are long and fine, and against black they show up more reliably than steel hands would. There is no minute track, so the minutes are estimated by hand angle – which is entirely the point of the design and not a shortcoming of this particular watch. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Swiss quartz – stated on the dial \n Two hands only – hours and minutes, no calendar \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A slim black leather strap with a fine lizard grain, light contrast stitching and a gold-tone pin buckle. Narrow leather is the most comfortable option on a small wrist, and it breaks in fast. Use two adjacent holes in rotation if you can – straps wear out at the single hole they spend every day in. \n Who This Watch Suits \n A woman who wants a small dress watch in gold rather than steel, and who would rather it be recognisable than loud. Black and gold works with evening wear and with plain daytime clothes alike. \n Care and Maintenance \n Plating is thin, and hand cream, perfume and cleaning products take it off faster than wear does. Put the watch on last when dressing and take it off first. Keep the leather out of water and let it dry naturally if it gets damp. Have a watchmaker fit the battery so the caseback is opened correctly and sealed properly afterwards. \n About the Brand \n Movado is a Swiss brand identified almost entirely by one dial: no numerals, no indices, and a single dot marking twelve. This is that dial at its smallest. \n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on 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. Note how the lugs are polished on their outer faces only – the inner faces are left plain, where nobody sees them.
