Amazon.com Product Description
Balancing classic hallmarks of timepiece design with sleek contemporary flourishes, this slim Movado SE (Sports Edition) Swiss quartz women's watch mixes stainless steel and titanium for a sleek look and gilds the lily with glittering diamond accents. The round stainless steel watch is topped by a bezel ringed with swaths of sparkling tiny white diamonds, which are broken up by a single Movado trademark dot. The smoothly integrated triple-link bracelet band includes a center titanium link (with dotted accent) surrounded by stainless steel outer links. Both lightweight and ultra-durable, titanium is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies.
Featuring the utterly recognizable, minimalist look of the Museum Watch, made famous by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947, its silver dial includes just the signature single dotted marker at 12 o'clock--evocative of a sun dial--and two sword-shaped hands. (Movado's Museum watch is often referred to as the "boss's watch" due to its vague display of time and because the boss doesn't have to be on time.) Powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, it also features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, hidden butterfly deployment clasp and water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet)--enabling it to withstand splashes and accidental dunks into the water, but not suitable for swimming.

The Movado Story
The art of Movado is the art of design. Since its founding in 1881 by 19-year old entrepreneur Achille Ditesheim in the village of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Movado has achieved a legacy of design innovation, earning more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for artistry and innovation in watch design and time technology.
Movado, meaning "always in motion" in the international language of Esperanto, is the hallmark of some of the most famous timepieces ever created: the 1912 Polyplan, its revolutionary, patented movement constructed on three planes to fit a case curved to follow the wrist…the WWI Soldier’s Watch with its elegant, protective grill…the 1927 Ermeto, a capsule-shaped pocket watch wound by the sliding motion of its case…the innovative 1950’s Kingmatic series of rotor-driven automatics…the Movado Artist’s Series by luminaries of the fine art world…and the Movado Museum® Watch with its legendary dial.
Defined by a single dot at 12 representing the sun at high noon, the Museum Watch dial is regarded as an icon of Modernism. It was designed by Bauhaus-influenced artist Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. When Horwitt’s dial was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1960, it was the first watch dial ever awarded this distinction. The name "Museum Watch" derives from this recognition. Today, Movado watches are in prominent museums worldwide, and this legendary dial distinguishes an entire collection of singular timepieces.
