1940's MOVADO Vintage Triple Calendar Mens Stainless Steel Watch - The Calendograph
Similar to FDR's Watch - Tri Color Original Dial - 1 Year Warranty
During Movado's glorious period from 1912 through the 1950's, when such innovations as the polyplan movement, Calendomatic, and exceptional in-house chronographs pushed the envelope of horological technology, and original designs such as the Museum watch took their place in history, their wristwatches enjoyed a level of prestige reserved only for works of very fine watchmakers.
Today's offering features this wonderful Movado Calendograph watch with colourful dial. The colors of the two-tone dial - which looks like a three color dial because of the sepia tone center - blue date track, red date hand pointer, and black hands all provide beautiful interest!
It is similar to the model, made by Movado and retailed by Tiffany, that FDR owned and reportedly wore it at the Malta and Yalta Conferences in 1945 and in the last months of his life. He owned the non-waterproof version. This is the waterproof version whose case has a different, more rugged construction. Photos of FDR's Calendograph are in the listing below (photo from Antiquroum).
An interesting functional design element of this case is its anti-magnetic design. It has an iron ring with cap that forms a Faraday cage around the movement protecting it from magnetic and electromagnetic fields and also offering another layer of physical protection.
Powering it is an in-house Movado movement, the watch possesses capabilities that track the date, day of the week, and month.
These waterproof style Calendrograph are midsize watches - well-suited for someone who doesn't have a large wrist.
Its untouched original dial has warmed to a sepia tone, giving it a true vintage look. In person the sepia tone looks a little less strong than it does in the photos.
Its case is in excellent condition. The main body and lugs have never been polished. They retain very strong lines and the original satin finish.
One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, adjusting and servicing as needed, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).
We have tested it on a machine that spins the watch in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist, and it is keeping perfect time like a new watch.
