Our Take
Movado, meaning ‘movement’ in terms of motion but also in the horological sense, taken from the Esperanto language, the brand has a rich art deco history is one of the top Swiss brands. This 1990s classic bi-metal edition is a good example of that and carries the minimalist trend that is so true to Movado. It has a plain black dial with Roman numerals, all under a clean, unmarked mineral crystal. The case is stainless steel and measures 34mm in diameter and 38m from lug to lug, a good size for a man, but may suit a lady too. The crown is unsigned and gold plated. There are some signs of wear on the case back, fading and some scratches from being opened, the model number is 81-A2-873.1 s/n 2203200. The precision Movado quartz movement works well and keeps time as you would expect from a Swiss watch. The strap is mostly stainless steel but also has some gold plating in the links, s/n V971H, and will fit a wrist of approximately 6.7” or 17cm. The watch is available without the original box or paperwork, but a gift box will be provided. It has also not been pressure sealed so waterproofing can’t be verified.
