Movado, 1942 — Compact wartime sector dial
This compact Movado dates to 1942 and wears a classic two-tone sector dial with small seconds and warm parchment patina. Its modest 28 mm snap-back case and period-correct acrylic crystal reflect wartime practicality and restrained design. At the heart sits the in-house Cal. 150MN, a 15-jewel, hand-wound movement freshly serviced and presented with service documentation. For a contemporary enthusiast this watch offers a direct, wearable connection to early-1940s watchmaking: thoughtful proportions, clear legibility, and an authentic mechanical movement that is straightforward to enjoy and maintain.
