Movado Women's Esperanza Watch #0604552

This slender, elegant baguette-style watch from Movado's Esperanza series features a classic Museum dial and a beautiful silver-tone open-link bracelet. The black rectangular dial has slender silver-tone hands and a small dot marker and Movado logo at the twelve o'clock position. This the minimalist look made famous for Movado by American designer Nathan George Horwitt in 1947. Horwitt intended his design to be evocative of a sun dial, with the dot representing the sun at high noon. The dial is framed by a silver-tone stainless steel bezel that integrates seamlessly into the open-link bracelet-style band. The band graduates to a woven link pattern toward the back and fastens with a jewelry clasp. The case and bracelet measure a uniform 14 mm in width. Other notable features of this watch include precise Swiss quartz movement and a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming.
