For sale is a fantastic piece of 1970s funk with genuine horological "horsepower" under the hood, the Movado Kingmatic "Video" HS 360. This watch is a cult classic among vintage enthusiasts, representing the "sweet spot" of Movado’s history during their partnership with Zenith. It perfectly encapsulates the "Space Age" aesthetic of the early 70s while offering high-end mechanical performance.
The "Video" moniker comes from the distinctive TV-screen shape of the gold-tone case, a rectangular cushion with rounded corners that mimics the CRT television sets of the era. The dial is pure retro, featuring towering, architectural 3D applied hour markers and a quickset day-date window. However, the real star is the movement. The "HS 360" stands for "High Speed 36,000," referring to the 5Hz beat rate (36,000 vph). This technology, based on Zenith architecture from the El Primero era, creates an incredibly smooth sweeping seconds hand that is mesmerizing to watch. The watch is mounted on its original, highly collectible Swiss NSA (Novavit S.A.) bracelet, known for its comfort clasp and superior build quality.
