Description

This Movado is possibly 1 of 1, this oversized Movado should be taken for what it is, which is a bit of fun. Signed Movado throughout we believe this manual wind watch to be dated to the 1960’s, having later had a redial (of high quality).

The redial has a ‘California’ style which as you can see is half Roman and half Arabic numerals used by many watch brands over the years. Black dial with hour markers that have naturally discoloured to a creamy yellow colour. Silvered hands with aged luminous infill.

Oversized steel case measuring 42mm, this watch was possibly created with the South American market in mind as was the demand for oversized watches in that area back then.

Working fine at +20 seconds or so per day we have run the watch through the workshop and replaced the glass.

Fitted to a black leather strap.

Our View – A beautiful Vintage Movado that would add to any collection.

FAQs

A California dial features a hybrid layout combining Roman numerals on the top half and Arabic numerals on the bottom half, originally designed for maximum legibility in military timepieces.

Vintage Swiss watches commonly utilise stainless steel, gold, or chrome-plated brass for cases, paired with acrylic or mineral glass crystals and leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by examining the movement calibre stamped on the inside case back or movement bridge, matching serial numbers, and checking dial typography against factory archives.

A vintage wristwatch pairs well with tailored formal wear or smart-casual attire, allowing the classic proportions and historic dial design to serve as a subtle statement accessory.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing every three to five years by a professional horologist, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding if not automatic.
