Movado HS 360 Datron Super Sub Sea Chronograph (Zenith Movem

[rw16610]

Not to worry, folks. I won't be buying this one. Still fun to browse, nonetheless. It's almost like taking a trip back in time. This piece represents an era where brands like Movado, or even Tissot along with numerous others had some incredible pieces.

Anyway, I think it's absolutely lovely!


























As tempting as these lovely vintage Chronograph watches are, they also scare me. Similar modern Chronograph watches (as far as I know) can potentially let moisture in the case if the pushers are accidentally pressed while submerged or wet.

Not that I would use a piece like this for swimming, but during regular cleans I might feel on edge. All should be fine once the seals are functioning correctly.

It was shocking for me to discover this piece. When the Movado brand comes to mind what pops up is the antithesis of this.

I do love these old vintage chronographs. I keep hoping to come across a 40mm vintage (difficult) surfboard chrono with some cool colors one day, but when I see them they are usually 38mm or less.

This one is 40.5mm but the colors don’t do it for me.

Baco Noir That's a nice one, but I agree on the colour scheme. There's something SO special about the 1970s Chronograph watches in particular.

The smaller case diameters is indeed an issue. Luckily for a sporty watch like this you might be able to find more with the desired 40mm diameter and aesthetically pleasing colours on the dial.

One thing I've learned browsing vintage Chronograph watches is numerous brands I've never heard of exist, or in some cases maybe even now defunct, but stunning.
