ID This 1950s Movado?

2_IV · May 6, 2024

Had a lot of help from this forum a year back when trying to get insight on a 1962 Gallet of my dad's. Now I found an old 30mm Movado (seemingly from the 1950s) that also belonged to him. He passed away 15 years ago, so this has been sitting for at least that long. Probably longer. I wound it and it ran for around 10 minutes. Realize I probably need more details/pics but this is all I have at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is a Movado Acvatic

While we're at it, we'd be grateful for another fun lovin', participating Forum member rather than a hit 'n run.

He'll be back in 2025. 👍

To be fair, the OP previously had a lengthy and interesting private conversation with me, including sharing some information he had received from Gallet's service center that helped me. He may not be a social media guy (yet).

Edit:

Here's a good web page. https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/movado.php

That Movado Acvatic is an interesting watch. I had not heard of it before this thread. It seems to have appeared in 1935.
