Movado “Calatrava“ Automatic Ref 444 592
Size: 35mm
Year: 1950s
Movement: Automatic
SOLD
A beautifully clean mid-century Movado automatic housed in a classic FB (François Borgel/Taubert) waterproof case. Elegant and understated, with sharp faceted lugs, warm gilt details and a highly balanced aged whuge dial.
The dial layout is pure 1950s design, featuring applied markers with oversized Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, dauphine hands and subtle crosshair-style minute plotting around the outer edge. Honest ageing throughout gives the watch a soft warmth without taking away from its clean appearance.
Inside is the reliable Movado Calibre 5902 automatic movement, one of the brand’s well regarded in-house automatic calibres from the era.
The stainless steel FB waterproof case remains strong with nice lug definition and original signed crown still present.
A very wearable and versatile vintage Movado that perfectly captures the restrained design language the brand became known for during the 1950s and early 1960s.
