For sale is an excellent unpolished example of a Vintage Movado Tempomatic Trans-Atlantic Sub Sea 50 Mark 3, a robust and stylish automatic watch from the 1960s, complete with all original parts including the crystal and bracelet. Representing Movado’s high quality sports and tool watches, this piece offers both collectible history and an incredible vintage aesthetic.
The watch is housed in a substantial 36mm stainless steel case with a screw-down Sub Sea case back, indicating its water resistance capabilities (rated to 50 meters when new). The elegant silver dial is clean and legible, featuring applied baton indices with black or onyx inserts and the prominent text "MOVADO TEMPOMATIC TRANS-ATLANTIC" above center. The dial also features a practical date window at 3 o'clock and the model designation "Sub Sea 50" at 6 o'clock. It is paired with a highly desirable, period-correct stainless steel multi-link bracelet (often referred to as a "beads of rice" or similar style, which matches the aesthetic shown), which completes its rugged yet sophisticated look. Powered by a reliable automatic mechanical movement, this watch is a true piece of Movado's sporting heritage.
