For sale is a historically significant and visually stunning Vintage Movado Sport "Non-Magnetic," housed in a legendary François Borgel case. Don’t let the modern reputation of Movado fool you, in the 1930s and 40s, this manufacture was mentioned in the same breath as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. This watch is a prime example of that "Golden Age" pedigree.
The defining feature of this timepiece is its stainless steel case, manufactured by François Borgel. This is the celebrated casemaker responsible for some of the most valuable vintage watches in history, including the Patek Philippe Ref. 1463 "Tasti Tondi" and the Ref. 565 Calatrava. Beyond the case, the watch features a striking two-tone "Bullseye" or "Tuxedo" dial. The creamy champagne center is framed by a glossy black outer track with radium-style Arabic numerals, creating a high-contrast, military-chic aesthetic. The look is completed by distinct leaf hands and a central sweep seconds hand with a characteristic red tip. Powered by a durable in-house manual wind movement, this is a "watchmaker’s watch" offering top-tier Swiss manufacturing.

Why Collectors Love It: This Movado Sport represents one of the best "value propositions" in the vintage watch market.

Additionally, the "Bullseye" dial configuration is highly desirable for its legibility and Art Deco / Military aesthetic. It is a rare opportunity to own a piece that combines a top-tier case maker, a respected in-house movement, and a stunning dial design.
