Since 1881 the name Movado has been synonymous with excellence in Swiss watchmaking and craftsmanship. The name itself means “always in motion,” much like the artistry and design innovation that has gone into their timepieces for over 100 years. Movado’s iconic stature is best represented by its watches being part of museum collections worldwide. Its legendary dial with the single dot at the number 12 was the first watch dial awarded the distinction of being part of a permanent collection in New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
For distinguished men and women, a Movado watch is a stunning example of refined taste. They are classic timepieces that are an investment in both fashion and functionality. Movado watches for men and women are available in a variety of styles and price points. Here is a look at some popular styles that range from the lower to higher end of pricing.
Movado’s Women’s collections range in suggested retail price from around $400 all the way up to over $3000. On the lower end of the spectrum is the Women's Swiss Quartz Museum Collection Leather Strap Watch. This is a classic design featuring a black dial with Movado’s signature high-noon dot at the number 12. With Swiss Quartz movement, a leather strap and a silver clasp buckle, this watch is simple yet elegant.
Next on the women’s list is the Sento Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. Coming in at around $1000 MSRP, the Sento is stylishly sleek and modern, featuring a stainless steel case around a "Museum" dial with silver-tone hands. The watch bracelet is also stainless steel.
For slightly bigger budgets, the Women's Valor Swiss Quartz Tungsten Watch is undeniably elegant, yet incredibly durable due to the scratch-resistance of the Tungsten metal. The Valor features a round black dial with Movado’s signature dot. Under the number 6 the watch states “Swiss Movado Made”. The hands of the watch are silver and the bracelet is also made of tungsten. The Valor model is also available for men. The MSRP on the women’s model is just over $2000.
On the higher end of Movado’s Women’s Watches comes the ultra-blingy, yet incredibly elegant Ono Swiss Quartz Diamond Bezel Mother-of-Pearl Dial Watch. Thirty-six white diamonds shine in the stainless steel case, complimented by 6 more diamond on the bracelet. The dial is white mother-of-pearl with silver-tone hands. In short, this watch is an attention getter worthy of its $2000 plus price tag.
On the men’s side, one of Movado’s most affordable options is their Black Dial with Gold Plated Case & Stainless Steel Watch. The case is gold plated with a black dial featuring the Movado signature dot at the 12 o’clock mark. The bracelet is stainless steel. This watch is one of a few choices that come in under $1000.
Next up the line on price-scale is the Movado Men's Junior Sport Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. This is a younger, sportier style watch featuring a stainless steel case and black dial with a chronograph. The bracelet is also stainless steel. The MSRP on the Junior Sport model is slightly more than $1000.
For those seeking a more expensive watch, the Movado Men's Valor Swiss Quartz Tungsten Bracelet Watch is a stylish yet durable choice. As with the women’s model listed above, the Valor has a rectangular silver-tone tungsten carbide case with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The black dial features the Movado dot and “Swiss Movado Made”. Hour and minute hands are silver-tone. The bracelet is tungsten with hidden clasps. The Men’s Valor’s MSRP checks in a just under $2500.
In the upper echelon of Movado’s Men’s collection is the Fiero Black Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.
