Movado Women’s 690299 Classic Museum Gold-Plated Watch Review
I bought the men’s version for myself and this one for my wife.
I have bought my wife a bunch of watches over the years and they all end up in a drawer.
She loves her old Eddie Bauer (Wenger Swiss Military) watch with stainless steel band. She wears that all the time because it’s virtually indestructible.
But when you are getting dressed up and want something classy, sophisticated and understated, this is it. She now wears this watch when she is out in public. You need to stay out of the water with the leather strap, but that’s about it.
And, if anyone should ever ask about the design of the watch, you can always start a conversation about the Bauhaus movement.

Movado Women’s 690299 Classic Museum Gold-Plated Watch Overview
This classic Museum dial watch showcases Movado’s celebrated minimalist design. The round black dial is punctuated with gold-toned Dauphine hands and a single concave dot marker at the 12 o’clock position. This signature dial, famously introduced for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, is intended to evoke images of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The black dial is set off beautifully by a gold-toned stainless steel case and bezel. A black leather strap with a buckle closure completes the sleek and sophisticated look. Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, precise Swiss quartz movement, and water resistance to 30 meters.
About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, “always in motion.” The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.
