This sporty chronograph watch from Movado’s Gentry series offers a wealth of timing features as well as handsome styling. It has a round black dial with three subdials featuring 1/10th of a second, little seconds, and 30-minute registers. The dial also features bold Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, and 9, and a date window at the six o’clock position. Luminous hands and markers make the dial easy to read, even at night. The dial is housed in a solid steel case and framed by a steel bezel with engraved hour markers and beautiful coin-edge detailing. It presents on a tan leather strap with sporty contrast stitching and fastens with a buckle closure. Other remarkable features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, this watch may withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently immune for swimming.
About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces it is roots to the little village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a little workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, “always in motion.” The company grew and prospered, evolving from a little pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and architect of precision wristwatches. Throughout it is history, Movado has maintained it is place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellency in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are exact to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected versus water, moisture and dust, and on an individual basis tested to meet rigorous international standards of quality. A long-time committed supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches may now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.
The Movado StoryThe art of Movado is the art of design. Since it is founding in 1881 by 19-year old enterpriser Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a bequest of design innovation, earning more than 100 patents and 200 global awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.
Movado, meaning “always in motion” in the global language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of a heap of of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan, it is revolutionary, patented motion constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with it is elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of it is case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and the Movado Museum® Watch with it is legendary dial.
Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon, the Museum Watch dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artisan Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was chosen for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the firstborn watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name “Museum Watch” derives from this recognition. Today, Movado watches are in prominent museums worldwide, and this legendary dial distinguishes an entire collection of singular timepieces.
