Product Description
Scratch-Proof Tungsten Carbide Steel Case & Bracelet, Black Museum Dial, Sapphire Crystal, Precision Swiss Quartz Movement

Amazon.com Product Description
Sleek, modern styling and superior durability combine in this handsome Museum dial watch from Movado's Valor series. It features a black Museum dial with silver tone hands and a single concave dot at the twelve o'clock position. This is 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 housed in a case crafted from steely blue tungsten carbide with a virtually scratch-proof mirror finish. This metal rates a 7 of 10 on Movado's scratch-proof scale. For comparison, aluminum rates a 3, gold a 4, steel a 5, and diamond a full 10. This watch presents on a handsome bracelet-style band made up of polished rectangular links and fastens with a hidden push-button deployment clasp. Other notable features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, this watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming.

About Movado
Movado, one of the most celebrated watch brands in the world, traces its origins to the small village of La Chaux-de-faunds, Switzerland where, in 1881, a young watchmaker named Achille Ditesheim hired six assistants and opened a small workshop. He called his company Movado, a word which means, roughly, "always in motion." The company grew and prospered, evolving from a small pocketwatch manufacturer into a leading innovator and designer of precision wristwatches. Throughout its history, Movado has maintained its place at the pinnacle of innovation and excellence in design, craftsmanship and technology. Movado watches are crafted by highly-skilled watchmakers to meet the exacting standards of Swiss time technology. They are accurate to within seconds a year. All Movado watches are sealed and protected against water, moisture and dust, and individually tested to meet strict international standards of quality. A long-time dedicated supporter of the arts, Movado has, itself, been the recipient of over 200 international awards. Movado watches can now be found in the permanent collections of over 20 museums worldwide.

4 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful, BUT... January 18, 2008
R. Chin (San Diego, CA)
The Movado Valor, IMO, is the epitome of Movado, simple, elegant, beautiful. The Valor is very thin, as the case is practically the same thickness as the band. Unlike titanium watches (that were the craze a few years back) or stainless steel watches, the Tungsten Carbide and weight of the Valor makes it feel substantial, and balanced. It feels like jewelery, but the design is masculine.

BUT, the problem, Tungsten Carbide is "brittle" compared to other metals. I dropped my watch in the bathroom on ceramic tile, and somehow, a small corner of the case/crown, right next to where the band connects, shattered/chipped off at 45 degree angle from the corner, about 2 millimeters. No one notices unless I point it out, but I still know it, and it is a little sad, but I still wear it most every day. I've had it for over 6 years, and have had to replace the battery only once. It still keeps perfect time and looks new. Unless you have a perpetual calendar or digital watch, the simplicity of having just the time is great because you never have to worry that a short month is going to make your watch a day off.

I've had my watch for over one year now and I still love it! I have always been a Movado fan for years now. This is my second Movado. My first is the regular Mens Classic style but since I've had it for about 10 years, I wanted to upgrade to a nicer one. The Valor is well worth the money I paid for it! I wear my older watch during the weekdays since it's still in great condition and for weekends I wear my Valor - which gives me an additional reason to look forward to weekends. The Valor is mirror shiny and has a very solid feel to it in terms of weight due to the tungsten metal. I like the fact that the watch is scratch resistent although I would never rub it against the curb. I can wear my Valor with any outfit be it business or casual without having to worry if it's appropriate to the occasion. This will probably be the last luxury watch I ever buy since Movado has such high production values. In terms of battery life, during the time that I have owned my old Movado, I have had to replace the battery 2 times so far.

Ordered express shipping, didn't come right away - so Amazon waived the extra charge! Product is exceptional!

In a word i say this watch is 'awesome". I saw this watch at a movado store for $2299 and got this model number to search online. Luckily amazon itself is selling the watch at half the price with its extended warranty. Its soo beautiful and its worth the price at amazon
