We love them, and even collect them, but it allows for lesser-known pieces to slide through the cracks for most collectors...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the watch that we have here for example: a ladies 'chronometer' dress watch from the 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in \u003cem\u003elike new old stock\u003c\/em\u003e condition, it features an octagonal 21mm x 21mm case with a crown at 3 o'clock, a snapback case, and a beautiful 'hourglass' leather strap with a steel buckle. It even retains its factory caseback sticker — though it shows some fade from age. The dial inside is exactly what you'd hope to find from Movado from this era... Silver in color, the surface is garnished with gold-tone 'Breguet' indices, a subsidiary seconds register at 6 o'clock, and a blued-steel 'sword' handset to tie everything together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowering this piece is one of Movado's own manual-winding movements, which surprisingly, they've actually put through the chronometer certification paces as denoted on the dial with the chronometer text. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our opinion, and we know there are a handful of other dealers and enthusiasts out there that share this viewpoint, there are not many brands that get design this right. Simple as that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52012748112189,"sku":"OC3299","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3741\/files\/MOVADO_OCTO_LADIES_STRAP_WEB_1_R.jpg?v=1784839798","url":"https:\/\/oliverandclarke.com\/products\/movado-ladies-octagonal-cocktail-chronometer-brushed-silver-breguet-dial-lnos","provider":"Oliver \u0026 Clarke Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
