    No specific info on this watch. Case is gold, not sure if dial is solid gold or not.

    It is very hard to get information on older Movado watches. The company has very little interest in providing information on vintage watches to collectors.

    I'd say Movado is a brand that is of excellent quality, but is a notch below Omega in collector interest. Likely because there is so little documentation on them outside of the models they shared with Zenith.

    Hope this helps,

    Sure there is info out there. From Fritz Von Osterhausen's "The Movado History" Published by Schiffer 1996. Page 133:

    Very nice watch, and certainly collectible. As Gcpa mentioned, there are far more Omega, Longines, Zenith, etc. on the market than Movados, and more dedicated collectors as a result. But that is not necessarily a negative. I own 15 or more Movados, and they produced many interesting and excellent models up through the early/mid '60s.

    One exception to the rule are chronographs, as the Movado M95 chronos are in high demand.

    Wildly off-topic, but that is a SMASHING name! How can he NOT be a World War 1 fighter ace with a name like that?!?
