Movado Oversize

This is a real neat Movado Oversize, manual wind, measuring 37mm in diameter (without the crown) by 44mm lug to lug (for comparison an American Quarter measures 26mm in diameter). The rhodium plated case houses a real clean 17 jewel movement that our head watchmaker has running, setting, and winding just like it did when it came from the Movado factory back in the 1940's. It also sports a large sweep second hand that allows the wearer to easily see the seconds slipping by. But what makes my heart skip a beat is the mirrored Arabic numerals. Not only are they reflective, but they give the watch a very vintage appearance that you just don't see in today's wrist armor. There is a visual and tactile quality about the watch that is difficult to express but when you see it in-person you will understand.
