Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
circa 1970s
The Movado Astronic HS 360 is a self-winding triple-calendar chronograph wristwatch. It is housed in a 38mm stainless steel case and powered by the high-beat Calibre 3019PHF, an automatic movement developed during the partnership between Movado and Zenith.
This complication incorporates a triple calendar—displaying day, month, and date—alongside a moonphase indicator and a chronograph function. The silver dial features applied markers, an outer tachymeter scale, and chronograph registers. The watch is equipped with a steel link bracelet secured by a branded fold-over clasp. According to the source, the movement shares its architecture with the Zenith El Primero, with American-market variants often containing 17 jewels to adhere to specific import regulations of the era.
The watch utilizes a mineral crystal and a steel caseback.

The watch is fitted with a mineral crystal and a steel caseback, maintaining a consistent aesthetic with the stainless steel case construction. The dial layout incorporates a triple-calendar complication with a date window situated between the four and five o'clock positions, alongside the day and month indicators. The hands are designed to resemble retro instrumentation panels. The watch is presented on a chunky big-link steel bracelet, which is secured by a Movado-signed fold-over clasp and safety mechanism.
- Signature and Origin
- The watch is signed by Movado, with the brand name and the model designation 'Astronic HS 360' appearing on the dial. The crown is also signed. The association between the watch and the Zenith-Movado partnership is highlighted as a defining factor of its technical specifications. The piece is identified as part of the American market distribution, which accounts for the specific jewel count reported.

This caliber is described as having the same mechanical architecture as the Zenith El Primero, developed during the period when Movado and Zenith operated under the MZM holding company.

The source notes that American-market pieces were often fitted with 17-jewel versions of this movement to address import duty requirements.
