1950s Movado Fab Suisse Oversized 35mm "Calatrava"
Here, we have a lovely example of the 1950s Movado Fab Suisse Oversized "Calatrava" with a 35mm stainless steel case that gently curves over your wrist thanks to the finely tapered lugs, which form part of the slim bezel for a sculpted profile. A lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of just 8mm ensure a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed coin-edged push/pull crown. A smooth, thin bezel holds a domed crystal, showcasing the attractive cream “Calatrava” dial. An outer minute rail track surrounds the applied steel numbers 12, 2, 4, 8, and 10, and dagger-shaped indices mark the hours; slim stick hands sit above a large, slightly recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock. “Movado Fab Suisse” sits at noon, completing this sophisticated dress watch. On the reverse, a solid case back, inside is a manually wound Movado Cal. 125, 15 jewels, beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with a well-suited 18mm after-market suede vintage-style strap and pin buckle.
