This sporty watch from Movado's Gentry collection offers a beautiful blend of function and style. It features a round silver dial with bold Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12 and bar markers elsewhere. A subdial at the 6 o'clock position registers the seconds, and luminous hands and markers make the dial easy to read, even at night. The dial is framed by a stainless steel bezel with engraved hour markers and coin-edge detailing. The watch is set in a 28 mm solid steel case and presents on a smooth black leather strap with a matte finish and sporty contrast stitching. It closes with a buckle clasp. 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. 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.
