Sleek, modern styling and superior durability combine in this handsome Museum dial watch from Movado's Valor series. It features a black rectangular dial with silver-tone hands and a small silver-tone dot and Movado logo at the twelve o'clock position. The dial is housed in a case crafted from steely blue tungsten carbide with a virtually scratch-proof finish. This metal rates a 7 of 10 on Movado's scratch-proof scale. For comparison, aluminum rates a 3, gold a 4, steel a 5, and diamond a full 10. The watch presents on a handsome bracelet-style band made up of polished rectangular links and fastens with a hidden push-button deployment clasp. The case measures 35 mm long and bracelet measures 23 mm wide. Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming. 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.
