The present watch is a wonderful specimen of chronograph which left Movado factories in the 1940s. The stainless steel case with faceted lugs, domed plastic crystal, round pump-style chronograph pushers, domed crown and massive steel screw case back is still in amazing conditions. Original untouched silver dial with large luminous hour markers and three sunken subdials with concentric guilloché has developed a beautiful, truly, champagne orangey patina. Moreover, this is a reverse chronograph, where the chronograph is activated and switched off with the 4 o’clock pusher and reset with the 2 o’clock pusher.
