Movado
1970 Movado Datron HS360 Sub-Sea Chronograph (Ref. 434-615-502) "Zenith El Primero"
Although Movado began releasing water-resistant wristwatches in the mid-1930s, by the early 1960s Movado was producing a professional range of watches to contend with the era's greater-known offerings from names like Rolex, Omega, Heuer, and Tudor. During this era, Movado and Zenith worked closely together to introduce innovative designs that advanced the watch world. Though the partnership proved to be fruitful, many of the forward-thinking designs resulted in low production numbers which are now highly collectible today. This specific Movado Datron HS360 is no exception to this as it houses the Zenith 3019PHC automatic chronograph movement.
