Amazon.com Product Description
This classic Museum dial watch, in black and gleaming gold-tone steel, has a sleek, ultra-thin profile and distinctly modern styling. It features the legendary black Museum dial with gold-tone Dauphine hands and a single concave dot at the 12 o'clock position. This is Movado's signature dial, made famous by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended his design to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The thin, flat dial is framed by a rounded gold-tone steel bezel and presents on a contoured leather strap that fastens with a buckle closure. Other notable features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, this watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming.

About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.

The Movado Story
The art of Movado is the art of design. Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a legacy of design innovation, earning more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.

Movado, meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan, its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its 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 its 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 artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the first 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.

Customer Reviews

Excellent choice
I purchased this watch for my husband for Christmas.
He could not have been more pleased.
I have a lady`s watch ,just like it, and I love mine.
So I was pretty sure he would too.
The price was excellent, and how can you go wrong with "MOVADO".
The watch itself was just right for my Husband,because he
has what he considers to be smaller wrists,and does not like
large watches.Also he likes a dressier watch,and the gold with
black band is just perfect for him. I would recommend this watch
for anyone who loves MAVADO, but feels they cannot afford one.

NICE WATCH
Muy buen reloj excelente calidad y muy elegante
lo recomiendo Movado es my marca favorita

Basic but beautiful.
I bought this watch for it's simple elegance and am not disappointed. You wear this watch more as jewelry than a timepiece. Every time that I wear this watch I get numerous positive comments from the ladies. As far as the band goes, my wrist is 6 7/8" circumference and I have 3 more expansion holes so it is just right for me . The only thing that I will have on my next Movado is a date (I didn't realize how much I counted on that simple function).
