It features a beautiful, classically sized waterproof case in stainless steel, made by François Borgel (the same case-maker who manufactured the Patek 1463 “Tasti-Tondi), the aforementioned manual-winding M95 Calibre produced by Movado themselves, and a matching Movado-signed stainless steel multi-link bracelet.  The dial remains in outstanding, virtually-flawless condition overall, retaining all of its Tritium plots and a crisp printing throughout. The 'radial' silver sub registers set within the glossy black dial renders a dramatic visual impact and highly legible layout, and also remain clean and clear. The crown, pushers, and handset are all correct, with the Tritium with the hands matching the dial beautifully. This piece is ever fitted with its correct steel bracelet with a Movado signed blade clasp. M95’s have become extremely coveted by collectors and don't come to market as often as you may think... This example is simply the finest we have ever come across and represents excellent value next to its more well known competitors from the era. Condition: Case: Unpolished, with defined, even lugs and only light signs of wear throughout with no notable blemishes or damage. Dial: Outstanding, virtually-flawless with clear consistent gloss surface and printing throughout. The Tritium plots remain fully-intact and exhibit a light, even patina with a perfectly matching handset. Bracelet: Correct Movado stainless steel bracelet with 18 links and signed blade clasp. Shows matching light wear throughout with virtually no stretch. Sized for ≈7" wrist. Shipping: All watches will be shipped via FedEx Insured Priority Overnight shipping.
