Movado Men’s 0606576 Circa Brown Crocodile-Embossed Leather Strap Watch
In the hills of Switzerland a man by the name of Achilles Ditesheim breathed in the crisp mountain air and was struck with inspiration. He decided that what the world really needed was a reliable, fashionable timepiece. With that goal in mind, Achilles opened a small workshop in 1881. At just 19 years old, the young entrepreneur hired 6 laborers to begin his business, which would eventually become the Movado brand we know today. The name Movado means “always in motion” which is perfectly suited to the company’s philosophy of making high-quality watches that look as good as they run. Since the brand’s inception, innovation has played an important role. New designs are produced frequently, pushing the boundaries of fashion for the better.
Looking for a Movado Leather Strap Watch?
The Movado Men’s 0606576 Circa Brown Crocodile-Embossed Leather Strap Watch has a rich brown crocodile-embossed leather strap and a contrasting white chronograph dial. The dial is protected by a clear sapphire crystal for stunning clarity. The case has a diameter of 42mm and is water resistant to 99 feet, meaning it can withstand rain or splashes of water, but should not be worn while showering or swimming. The watch has an hour hand, a minute hand and a second hand. A small window between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions displays the date. Three round dials on the face of the watch display additional information.
The watch runs on 1 non-standard battery, which is included. The battery can easily be replaced by any jeweller, as can the strap, giving the watch a lifespan that far exceeds other models. The large dial makes the style piece suitable for men, though with a thinner band it could easily be appropriate for woman as well. Three dials on the outside of the watch case allow the user to set time, date and other functions with ease. The dials are made of the same high-quality steel as the case of the watch, adding to the overall durability of the design. The dials are also finished in rose gold to match the other components of the piece.
The only downside to the Movado Mens’ Circa Brown Crocodile-Embossed Leather Strap Watch is the length of the strap. The design has been noted for not fitting all wearers, but fortunately it is easy to change the strap to one in a different size. Men may prefer a wider strap that better matches the face of the watch while ladies can add a feminine touch by choosing a thinner strap. The unique design of the face lends itself well to either gender, though the watch is marketed as a men’s accessory.
If you value style, glamour and prestige, you can’t look past the Movado Mens’ 0606576 Circa Brown Crocodile-Embossed Leather Strap Watch. The watch takes advantage of the fine Movado Swiss craftsmanship that the brand is known for, so you’ll always know precisely what time it is whenever you wear it. The Movado watch proves that fine fashion and precision craftsmanship is as valid today as it was in 1881.
