A premier Swiss watch company renowned for its modern design aesthetic,
Movado has earned more than 100 patents and 200 international awards for
artistry and innovation since 1881. It is the hallmark of some of the most famous
timepieces ever created, notably the Movado Museum
®
Watch.
Designed in 1947 by artist Nathan George Horwitt and regarded today as an icon
of Modernism, the watch dial defined by a single dot at 12 o’clock, symbolizing
the sun at high noon, has been acclaimed for purity of design unrivaled in the
history of time-keeping.
All Movado watches are distinguished by a legacy of design innovation and a
dedication to the future of time. Congratulations on your purchase.

Like any finely crafted mechanism, your Movado watch requires periodic maintenance to ensure optimal
performance. Maintenance includes complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of parts as needed,
reassembly and lubrication of the movement. A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended, in
addition to any required battery replacement.
Never open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to a
Movado Authorized Service Center. For the most current and complete worldwide listing,
visit https://repairs.mgiservice.com/movado.
NOTE: The Movado Watch Company assumes responsibility only for service performed at its Authorized
Service Centers.
SHOCK
All Movado watches have shock-resistant movements, individually tested to meet international standards.
DUST
Dust can enter a watch if the case, crystal or crown is not intact. A small particle is enough to stop the
movement. Have your watch repaired promptly if the crystal becomes loose, chipped or cracked, or if
there is damage to the case or crown.
MAGNETISM
The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop.
A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; a
mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it will operate again.
WATER RESISTANCE
All Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance.
Most styles are water resistant to 3 bar (30 meters/ 3 ATM/ 99 feet); certain models are water resistant to
even greater pressures/depths, as marked on the dial or case-back.
CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth
greater than 3 bar (30 meters/ 3 ATM/ 99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will
be voided.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the watch crown, push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other
pushers/buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water.
NOTE: 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.
To maintain water resistance, yearly 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, including battery changes.
Your Authorized Movado Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a
routine step in all service orders.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
5
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown or pushers, be sure to screw it/them back down into
the case after every operation.
Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or
subjected to wet conditions. Please see STRAP CARE.
Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations.
Do not drop your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every
violent shock.
Clean your watch regularly by wiping it with a soft cloth dampened with fresh water, especially after
exposure to seawater.
STRAP CARE
While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as the climate in
which you live, proper care will extend its life.
Leather straps should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle
and eventually break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided.
Following exposure to chlorinated or salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and
air dry.
NOTE: Movado watch straps are not covered by the Movado watch warranty.
BATTERY INFORMATION
A Movado quartz timepiece has a 1.55 Volt silver-oxide battery that is specially designed for watches. It
will last approximately 18 – 36 months under normal use.
NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten
battery life.
End-of-life feature: The seconds hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 4-second increments
when the battery is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.
Battery replacement: It is important to use only the replacement battery recommended by Movado. Take
or send your watch to an Authorized Service Center to have battery changed – your old battery will be
disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS
Overview
Use buttons A and B to operate the chronograph.
Pressing button A the first time will start the
chronograph. Pressing button A a second time will
stop the chronograph, allowing elapsed time to
be read. Pressing button A a third time will restart
the chronograph. Pressing button B will reset
chronograph hands C and E to zero. Adjusting the
time does not stop the chronograph, but it does
block buttons A and B for as long as the crown is
pulled out.
NOTE: Crown must be in position 1 and hands must
be at zero before chronograph is started. Press
button B to reset hands to zero.
IMPORTANT: Do not push button A or B when
crown is pulled out to position 2 or 3. If button A or
B is accidentally activated while crown is not flush
against case, one or more of the chronograph
hands may become de-synchronized. Should this
occur, follow instructions at end for synchronizing
chronograph hands.
Simple chronograph functions:
To measure the duration of a single, non-stop
event:
1. Press button A to start chronograph.
2. Press button A a second time to stop
chronograph, and read the 2 chronograph hands
to determine elapsed time, for example: 20
minutes, 38 seconds.
3. Press button B to reset chronograph hands to
zero.
Accumulated time functions:
To measure the combined time of a series of
shorter events, for example the actual playing
time of a football game, where play is repeatedly
interrupted:
1. Press button A to start chronograph.
2. Press button A a second time to stop chronograph
and read elapsed time, for example: 15 minutes,
5 seconds.
3. Press button A again to resume measurement.
4. Press button A a fourth time to stop chronograph
again, and read new elapsed time, for example:
20 minutes, 17 seconds.
NOTE: Each time you stop chronograph,
chronograph hands will indicate total accumulated
time.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add each additional
interval of time.
6. After you have taken your final accumulated time
reading, press button B to reset chronograph
hands to zero.
Split-time or intermediate-time functions:
To take intermediate time readings as a race
progresses:
1. Press button A to start chronograph.
2. Press button B to momentarily stop chronograph.
3. Read off the intermediate time, for example:
20 minutes, 17 seconds.
4. Press button B to resume chronograph function.
The 2 chronograph hands will quickly catch up
with ongoing event.

chronograph hands to align them correctly at their
zero positions.
NOTES: Once in corrective mode, each press and
release on push-button A will advance active
chronograph hand by one increment. To advance
hand rapidly, depress and hold push-button A.
You may exit correction mode at any time in the
sequence by returning crown to position 1.
1. Pull crown out to position 3.
2. Press and hold push-buttons A and B
simultaneously for at least 2 seconds to enter
corrective mode. When chronograph seconds
hand C rotates 360

counter hand E.

Select Movado sport models feature a unidirectional bezel for measuring elapsed time. The
engraved bezel turns counterclockwise only. It can be used, for example, to monitor the number of
minutes that have passed on a timed snorkel expedition or similar group excursion:
1. Align the arrow marker on the bezel with the current position of the minute hand.
2. As the minute hand advances around the dial, the number it points to on the bezel indicates how
many minutes (1 to 59) have passed since you began the timing.
3. When not in use, turn bezel counterclockwise until marker is aligned at 12 o’clock.

Many Movado sport watches and chronographs are equipped with a special screw-down crown that
helps seal the case against water and moisture. Before attempting to set the time or date, you must first
unlock the screw-down crown by turning it counterclockwise until it loosens (approximately six rotations).
After your watch has been set to the correct time and date following the instructions provided, the crown
must be screwed back down into the case to ensure water resistance:
1. Return the crown to position 1, flush against case.
2. Turn the crown clockwise while gently pressing in on it.
3. Continue to turn the crown until you feel resistance. Do not over-tighten.

ROTATING REFLECTOR RING
Select Movado BOLD models feature a rotating reflector ring for measuring elapsed time. Located under
the crystal and controlled by a screw-down crown at 2 o’clock, the reflector ring can be used to monitor
the number of minutes that have elapsed on a timed excursion – for example, since you put money in a
parking meter:
1. Unlock the screw-down reflector ring crown by pressing on it gently while turning it counterclockwise
approximately six rotations until it pops out.
2. Turn the crown in either direction to align the reflector ring’s arrow marker with the current position of
the minute hand on the watch dial.
3. Screw the reflector ring crown back down into the case by turning clockwise while gently pressing in on it
until you feel resistance. Do not over-tighten.
4. As the minute hand advances around the dial, the number it points to on the reflector ring indicates how
many minutes (1 to 59) have passed since you began the timing.
5. When not in use, realign the reflector ring arrow at 12 o’clock, being sure to screw the reflector ring
crown back down into the case to assure water resistance.

INTERCHANGEABLE STRAPS
Includes Movado Heritage Series models
The straps on select Movado watches are easy to interchange using the Strap Tool that comes with an
accessory strap purchase on Movado.com. Spring-bar or tension-style pins with narrow tips and a wider,
compressible middle section attach these straps to the watch case via tiny holes in the lugs.
The forked end of the Strap Tool is used to apply pressure to the wider portion of the pin to compress it for
strap removal or attachment. The pointed end is used to push the pin out of one strap so it can be used
with a new one.
To remove a strap:
1. With the watch facing
down on a cloth or
soft surface to prevent
scratching, firmly but
carefully insert the fork
end of the Strap Tool
between the watch lug
and the strap.

should then pop out
easily from hole in the
opposite lug, freeing
the strap from the
watch case.

Repeat steps above to
remove the other half
of the strap.
To attach a strap:
NOTES: The buckle
end of the strap should
be attached to the top
or 12 o’clock side of
the case.
If necessary, use the
pointed end of the Strap
Tool to remove a pin from
one strap, and center it
properly in a new one.
1. Place the watch head
face down on a cloth or
soft surface to prevent
scratching.
2. With the strap half facing
down, insert one tip of
the pin into the lug hole.
