MOVADO

Excellence of design...meticulous Swiss
craftsmanship...the continual search for
technological innovation: the Movado

philosophy is as valid today as it was in1881.
Since its beginning, Movado has earned

more than 200 awards for watch design
and time technology.

Symbolic of the legacy of Movado is the
Movado Museum

®

Watch. It is a classic in
modern design, and the purest expression
of time as art. In 1960, its dial design was
selected by the Museum of Modern Art for
its permanent collection.

Each Movado watch is distinguished by a
legacy of innovation and dedication to the
future of time.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Movado watch requires periodic

maintenance
to ensure optimal performance. Maintenance
includes complete disassembly, cleaning,
reassembly and lubrication of the movement.

A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is
recommended, and is in addition to required
battery replacement.

Never open the watch yourself. If your watch
needs repair or adjustment, you may take or send
it directly to a Movado Authorized Service Center.

NOTE: The Movado Watch Company assumes
responsibility only for service performed at its
Authorized Service Centers. For a complete
worldwide listing, see the end of this booklet, or
for the most current listing, visit our website at

Water Resistance

Movado water-resistant watches are tested to meet
international standards for water resistance.

Periodic maintenance is required. The gaskets and
crown which seal the case are subject to wear
and deterioration under normal use. These parts
should be inspected and replaced as needed each
time the watch is opened for service.

CAUTION: The Movado Watch Company will not be
responsible for any damage caused by or related
to leakage originating from improper handling or
damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.

Battery Information

Your Movado quartz watch has a 1.55 volt silver
oxide battery. It is specially designed for watches
and will last approximately18 to 30 months,
depending on the watch model.

It is important to use only the replacement battery
recommended by Movado.

Most Movado quartz watches will simply stop
when the battery life has been exhausted.
However, some Movado models have a battery
end-of-life feature: When the battery is nearing the
end of its life, the watch’s seconds hand will start
to move haltingly, advancing only once every 4 to
5 seconds,in 4- to 5-second increments. This
change signals that it is time to have the battery
replaced. Take or send your watch to a Movado
Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt to
change the battery yourself.
