1950’s MOVADO (Swiss) Ref. 3895 Handwind Watch With Steel Screwback – 15j Movado Cal. 150MN

A lovely example of a 1950’s stainless steel dress watch by Movado (Swiss) with a lovely and simple silver/cream dial and dark blue hands that it has been professionally serviced by Localtime and is ready to wear or join your collection. The solid stainless steel case (32.50mm or 35mm counting the crown at 3h) measures a long 40mm L2L, has a classy thickness of 9.50mm and has been professionally cleaned but not polished, to maintain its original integrity. It is in a lovely vintage condition and is a very classy looker on the wrist. The dial is a nice example of ‘less-is-more’. It is carrying a manual-wind Movado Cal. 150MN with 15j. It is wearing one of my own Campagnolo Cinturini (Italy) Ref. 605710 handmade Hermes-style leather straps in blue colour that matches the watch nicely and gives it a fresh, summery look. You can see the line of these lovely straps (which come in more colours and sizes)  in the last photo and they are also sold separately in the store, here.

As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed buy-it-now price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
