Movado Zenith "Automatic", Case No. 232E316, Cal. 3019PHC, 38 mm, circa 1970
An automatic vintage wristwatch with chronograph and date
Case: 14k gold, screw back. Dial: two-tone silvered.
This model was designed for the American market and hardly ever comes up for sale; the exact figures are unknown but we estimate that a total of less than 100 examples were produced. The powerful case has a very masculine and futuristic appeal, which is enhanced by the striking combination of a delicate stripe pattern with high, wedge-shaped numerals on the dial. This Movado Zenith chronograph is fitted with the legendary automatic Zenith calibre 3019 PHC El Primero, one of the best movements ever; it bears the Movado name and logo on the winding rotor. This movement set standards in watchmaking other high quality chronographs were compared to for decades. Featuring revolutionary new technology, this calibre left a legacy that still inspires modern luxury chronographs today.
