This men’s vintage Movado watch is going to appeal to people that like watches to look that they have age, but run perfectly well.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the movement production dates and the styling we estimate this watch was made circa 1950.
CONDITION
You have already seen the tar stained dial, which is a stage beyond patina, so let’s explain why we are still keen to offer this watch. The case is made by the Borgel Watch Case Company of Geneva, suppliers of some of the very best cases to Longines, IWC, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. It’s all stainless steel construction has a screw down case back to keep water out as best as possible, and it even ghas drilled lugs to make strap changing easier. Then, under the dust cover, is the Movado calibre 150MN hand winding 15 jewel movement with they typical wavy bridges Movado used for no good reason other than they looked nice. This is all running nicely too. The strap is new. would we prefer this watch to have a perfect dial? Yes, but it would be double the price. The leather strap is new, and can be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
We have noticed the the crown was pulled out for the photographs. Please note it does fit flush, as shown in the video. Apologies.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
