The present watch is a wonderful specimen of Cronacvatic, which left the Movado factories in the 1950s. The stainless steel case with faceted lugs, round pump-style chronograph pushers, domed crown, and massive steel screw case back are still in very nice condition. The original two-tone dial, with large luminous Arabic hour markers and three sunken subdials with concentric guilloché, has developed an attractive patina. The Cronacvatic is famous for being 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.
