DATE
DIAMETER 38MM
The relationship between Movado and Zenith started in 1969 when the two brands, along with Mondia, underwent a merger that benefitted all parties involved and pushed all of the brands forward in some pretty interesting ways.
In fact, despite Zenith's large standing in other parts of the world, the brand had a hard time selling their watches in the US due to a copyright squabble with Zenith Radio Corp. So, thanks to the new partnership, the brand was able to ship their watches to the new world with the Movado name on the dial instead.
That's where co-branded pieces like this ref. 01-0051-380 come in. To the untrained eye, it could look like a bit of a mish-mash of watch brands and parts. But now that we know the truth, we know that it's a best-of-both-worlds offering that utilizes that very design-centric Movado aesthetic alongside a powerful Zenith movement. And with a beautiful metallic blue dial, it's really easy on the eyes, too.
