FS: RARE AND 100% UNTOUCHED MOVADA DATRON HS360

Hi,

I am selling this pretty rare and stunning blue dial MOVADO DATRON HS360.
This is a very special watch, really difficult to find in this untouched condition, blue dial version and
with one of the best movements ever made.

The movement is the very well known 31-jewel 3019PHC movement. It is the first high-beat chronograph movement, at 36,000 bph,
which means that the second hand has a constant smooth sweep.

You can find more info on the watch here:

and here:

The case is in an untouched condition with the original graining still intact, as well as the 45 degrees bevel between
uppercase and the side of the case. Between the lower lugs you will find the correct "stainless steel" engraving.
Between the upper lugs you will find the serial number 3763.
There are some very fine scratches and dings but the pictures cannot show how good this case still is.

Dial has that stunning blue colour, showing some wear that is almost impossible to see in real.
Subdials are extremely white for a watch of this age.
Hands in fantastic condition with no corrossion or pitting.
Hands and hour markers still have the original and perfectly matching lume.

Original plexiglass in good condition.
Caseback has the "sub-sea" engraving.

Model: Movado Datron HS360
Serial number: 3763
Movement: 3019 PHC, 36,000 bph
Year: early seventies

Mechanically the watch is perfect, you pick it up and it starts thicking, chrono starts and resets as it should.
Great power reserve, keeps very good time, pushers extremely clean and crisp.

I am selling the watch at a very fair price. You also get the new Bulang "denim" strap ( worth 109 euros ).
So this is a nice opportunity to own a great looking watch with an original and legendary high-beat self-winding movement.

Price: 2500 euros ( insured Intex shipping and Bulang strap included )
( I give a full refund in case of any problem or in case the watch would not be as described )

Kind regards,
Bernard
