Vintage Movado chronograph wristwatches enjoy a strong following around the world due to the exceptional quality of their cases, movements, and stunning dial designs.

This example presented here is housed in an exceptional 35 mm case. In lovely original condition, its case was made by Taubert & Fils – the identical case maker used by Patek Philippe for some of their iconic, water-resistant references, including the legendary reference 1463 chronograph, and the reference 565. Accordingly, it’s fitted with the same round, “Tasti Tondi” pump pushers and a crown as those found on the 1463. The stunning and rare black dial is also in excellent condition, and displays a rainbow-like radiance that is very pleasing to the observer. It is powered by Movado’s own, in-house 95 M manual-wind chronograph movement; a delightful, serpentine-shaped hand used for the 3 o’clock register provides so much character to the watch. The start-stop function is started by the lower button, and reset is activated by the button located at the 2 o’clock position.

The watch is in a virtually unrestored state of preservation, and combined with its quality and rarity, it offers tremendous value for any collector.
