I have lost track of the 95M dibs queue.
I believe the 19068-B is a civilized 35mm.
Damn, I didn't know the Longines grand master also has Movado chronographs. Get me out of here, I quit.

Very interesting, I recall a mention of Royal norwegian air force watches before but I can't remember if they were Movados. Maybe @Northernman would know?
Now it would be great if you would post pictures of their dial too 😀

here´s mine:

The RNOAF used Heuer SG1550 in the 70s. Same as the Bund but with "LUFTFORSVARET" engraved with a serialnumber. They also used Junghans Quartz in the 80s and this one is without engraving. The pictures of the two dials is posted earlier in this post.

I have only one Movado. A pretty rare* rose gold ref. R8483 cal. 115 from 1954 with a solid gold dial that's partly engine-turned and has a mirror panel in the centre.

Not many of my fellows like it, but I love it nonetheless and wear it a lot.



At least in this rendition with the engine-turned part on the outside and with the screw in caseback. The one with the engine-turned centre square and snap on caseback is more common.

No expert but logos are familiar.
Mostly I have seen these on Heuer chronographs.
I know Movado was used but really no detailed knowledge.
Looking forward to seeing the faces.

This is my latest Movado acquisition, and the oldest I own: a chronograph with prominent tachymeter scale from the 1950ties.

I love the fine execution of the face with Pink Gold hands and markers — and I have both original serpentine needles.

The case measures 36 mm and houses the Movado cal. 95M movement.


Enjoy,


Mick

Ah yeah, that's right, the ones I saw were the Heuer Bund lookalikes...

Interesting thread. Here's one for the Movado experts. I no longer own this watch but I'm left unfulfilled because I never pursued my mission to find out more about this odd Movado. A Sub-Sea dress chrono but not with the manual winding M95. This one has the EP 3019 PHF (lost the movement photos). The dial does not have Datron HS 360 printed on it. I have not come across another example of this watch but hopefully somebody here can shed some light on this watch?

Cheers

Google says that 434 615 502 seems to be the ref.-number of a Datron/Super Sub Sea with gilt case - mostly with "short" lugs + more words on the dial.. yours could be one of the earliest examples. My Datron Hs 360 (above) has 434 705 502.

Here is another, very dressy, Movado cal. 95M chronograph …
