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.
The Movado collection features precise Swiss-engineered quartz and automatic movements, solid
stainless steel craftsmanship, sapphire crystals, genuine diamonds and fine leather straps. Select styles
are fashioned of solid 18K gold, while others incorporate exciting materials like carbon fiber, rubber,
ceramic and titanium.
Movado Series 800 sport models are crafted of high grade Performance Steel™, some equipped with
XTremeResin™straps reinforced by KEVLAR®. Movado BOLD timepieces have scratch-resistant K1 crystals;
most feature new TR90 high-tech composite material/stainless steel or aluminum cases.
Swiss made and water resistant, every Movado watch is 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 a complete worldwide listing, visit us online at www.movado.com.
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 (3 ATM/30 meters/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 (3 ATM/30 meters/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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

4
Your Authorized Movado Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a routine step
in all service orders.
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.
To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a Series 800 ThermoResin™or XTremeResin™strap, rinse it
using a soft cloth soaked in fresh water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.
Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white Series 800
ThermoResilient™ strap or a Movado Master white rubber strap; then wipe with a second clean cloth dipped
in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone and ethyl alcohol should be
avoided.
A natural gum rubber or “rubber cement pick-up” (found in art supply stores) may be used to remove most surface
stains from a Movado BOLD coated white leather strap or white TR90/silicone bracelet. Simply rub the natural
gum gently across the soiled area until the strap/bracelet is clean.
For stains that have penetrated the surface of a white Movado BOLD strap or bracelet, organic solvents like Zymol
liquid leather cleaner or Columbus gel super cleaner, a de-inking roller (ethyl alcohol and propylene ink remover)
or an ethyl alcohol-based solution such as Purell hand sanitizer (62% ethyl alcohol) may be used. Wipe soiled
area with a soft wet cloth. Then dampen a cotton ball or soft clean white cloth with the cleansing solution, and rub
soiled area gently. Repeat 2 to 3 times until stain disappears. Please test for color fastness on inside surface before
applying any solution. For best results, treat all stains/soil promptly.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

5
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.

Crown positions:
Position 1 – Normal running position.
Crown pushed into case.
Position 2 – To set TIME:
Rotate crown in either direction.
To manually wind an automatic movement:
The motion of your arm during normal daily activities
should be sufficient to keep the movement of your
Movado automatic timepiece wound. However, if you
have not worn your watch for 38 hours or more, and
the watch has stopped, you will need to wind it by
hand before setting the time:
1. With the crown in position 1, turn the crown
clockwise approximately 20 revolutions.
2. Reset time following instructions above.
