- Movement and Technical Specs
- The Movado Datron HS360 is powered by the Zenith 3019PHC automatic chronograph movement. This integration resulted from a collaborative period between Movado and Zenith during which they produced several shared mechanical designs. The auction description confirms that the watch has recently undergone a service and is currently operating within expected parameters for timekeeping accuracy.
- Case and Bracelet Construction
- The timepiece features a 38mm case crafted from gold-plated stainless steel. The design incorporates original pump-style chronograph pushers and a crown bearing the Movado signature. The auction description notes that the crown exhibits some gold plating loss, which is characterized as a common occurrence for this model. The stainless steel case back remains intact and retains its original factory-applied markings. The watch is presented on its original gold-plated stainless steel bracelet, which contains 20 links and is sized to fit a wrist circumference of up to 7.25 inches. The auction description reports that the bracelet exhibits light stretch commensurate with its age and history of use.
- Dial and Chronograph Configuration
- The watch displays a satin gold dial accented by three contrasting black sub-dials. The layout incorporates a date window positioned at the 12 o'clock marker. The tachymeter scale is printed on the outer periphery of the dial. Luminous material (tritium) is applied to the indices and the hands. The auction description states that this material remains free of degradation and has developed an ivory-toned patina over time. The hands and dial components are described as being in an excellent state of preservation without visible damage.
