The signature feature of the Movado design is the unique serpentine hand of the chronograph register. This type of hand is very rarely seen today because most of them have not survived the years. Another unusual feature here is the 60-minute division of the chronograph register.
The watch is in very good condition. The stepped, polished bezel and the stepped lugs give the timepiece a wonderful dynamic appeal. Over the years the silver-plated dial has developed a beautiful and even patina, which gives it a creamy silver tone and creates a perfect blend with the yellow gold dot indexes.
