SPECS Stock # MOVM95-3 Brand Movado Style Chronograph "Cal. M95" Model 19038 Serial 44XX Size Men's Material Stainless Steel Dial White "Aged" Millimeters 35 Strap 2pc Leather Strap CASE & BRACELET The sharp Borgel-designed case features very crisp multi-angled straight lugs and a charming stepped bezel that remain in excellent condition, showing no evidence of being previously polished, with gentle signs of use present. The case retains its original and characteristic "mushroom" pump pushers, and the Movado-signed crown is believed to be original as well. The screw-down case back is also very well-preserved and crisp, with only minimal wear present. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc leather strap. DIAL & HANDS The original and incredibly well-preserved dial is simply stunning, showing no notable damage, and with the only element of age being the golden spot of patina above the hand stack caused by radium burn. The radium lume plots have taken on a vibrant golden brown patina. Under UV light inspection, the 12, 3, 6, and 9 clock markers do exhibit some lume loss, which is common, and all of the lume plots attached to markers remain fully intact with no degradation present. The original hands have been professionally restored with radium to coordinate with the dial. The red sub-dial hands and blue center chronograph hand add a welcomed pop of color and are original to the watch as well. ACCESSORIES  None. The watch is running, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
