For sale is a highly collectible and historically important Vintage Movado Acvatic wristwatch, featuring the coveted Francois Borgel signed case. Representing one of the earliest successful water-resistant case designs, this watch is a landmark piece of mid century horology and a must have for serious Movado collectors. This particular model is the large size for the era, with a compact and well proportioned 29mm case excluding the crown. The stainless steel case is instantly recognizable by its scarab shaped case and sharp lines, affirmed by the presence of the famous Francois Borgel stamp. The watch features a charmingly aged two-tone dial with a central sector showing a beautiful, warm patina. It displays large, painted Arabic numerals and a clear outer minute/seconds track. The dial is signed "MOVADO" and "NON-MAGNETIC," and is completed by once luminous syringe style hands. It is currently fitted to a classic black leather strap, allowing the unique lugs and case design to take center stage. This fine piece is powered by a reliable manual wind mechanical movement. **Key Features** * **Brand:** Movado * **Model:** Acvatic * **Case Builder:** **François Borgel** (Signed Case) * **Size:** **29mm** (Largest size model and wears bigger due to the lugs) * **Case Material:** Stainless Steel Borgel case * **Dial:** Two-tone sector dial with honest patina, Arabic numerals * **Movement:** Manual Wind Mechanical Please reach out if you want to see this or any other watch over FaceTime.
