For sale is a sophisticated and understated Vintage Movado Manual Wind Dress Watch, a timepiece that hails from the brand’s highly collected "Golden Age" (circa late 1950s–1960s). Featuring an absolutely pristine dial, this is the absolute perfect watch for someone looking for a Movado dress watch. This watch is a stark contrast to the mass-produced fashion watches associated with the name today; it represents the era when Movado was a serious, family-run Swiss manufacture competing directly with the likes of Zenith and Omega.
This piece perfectly captures the "Mad Men" mid-century aesthetic with its clean lines and minimalist design. The dial is a stunning silver sunburst that catches the light beautifully, adorned with the winged M logo, a symbol of Movado’s pre-corporate independence. It features elegant gold baton markers and hands, prioritizing clarity and style. The case is gold-plated, sized at a classic "gentleman's" diameter (approx. 33-35mm), making it ideal for sliding under a dress cuff. The case lugs show some "brassing" (wear to the plating), a detail we have chosen to leave untouched. This oxidation serves as a badge of honor, providing the honest vintage character and "warmth" that enthusiasts seek in a watch with a genuine history. It is powered by a reliable in-house manual wind movement, offering the tactile satisfaction of winding your watch each morning.

Era: 1960s (Golden Age)
Case Style: Classic Round Dress Case
Case Material: Gold Plated (Vintage condition with visible character)

Why Collectors Love It: This watch appeals to the collector who understands the difference between a "brand name" and "horological history." It represents "Old Movado" a time of in-house manufacturing in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The manual wind movement is a respected workhorse known for its slim profile and reliability. Furthermore, the aesthetic is timeless; the "Mad Men" style of clean dials and simple baton markers is currently very trendy. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Swiss manufacturing heritage that offers the look and feel of a high-end dress watch at a very accessible price point compared to its contemporaries like the Omega Seamaster or Zenith Captain.
