1970s Movado/Zenith Defy Automatic Day/Date 01-0050-345
Here we have a 1970s Movado/Zenith Defy Automatic Day/Date 01-0050-345, the 38mm TV-shaped stainless steel case curves gently over the recessed lugs, and at 42.5mm lug-to-lug length and a case thickness of 10.5mm, you can be sure of a comfortable fit on the wrist. Made at a time when Movado and Zenith were joined at the hip, interchanging movements, dials, case and bracelets, bringing together the best of each brand, this watch is no exception. Polished and brushed surfaces transition with crisp well-defined lines, and on the right side is a signed crown. The polished bezel holds a square crystal with curved sides reminding us of the TV sets of the time. The textured crosshatch silver dial has applied steel batons marking the hours, and at 3 o'clock a framed day/date window, slim baton hands have Tritium infill complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand, and at 12 o'clock we have the Movado-Zenith motif “Automatic” printed underneath and at 6 o'clock “Defy” completes this quintessentially 70s timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down case back, inside an automatic Zenith Signed ETA Cal. 2832 featuring a Zenith Rotor, 17 jewels, 36,000 beats per hour. Fitted on its original brushed 21mm Zenith signed stainless steel bracelet with Zenith signed folding clasp and comfortable taper.
