The thickness of its waterproof style screw back case also gives it a bit of a bigger presence on the wrist than its diameter would suggest. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For the engine , Movado used its very fine \"in-house\" Cal. 438 movement made at the company's workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of the company's first automatic movements. It is a so-called \"hammer\" or \"bumper\" movement so named because of the large rotor that oscillates back and forth to wind the watch but is not allowed to rotate 360 degrees so \"bumps\" back and forth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its very classic silver dial nicely complements the style of the rest of the watch, and has warmed to a light sepia tone giving it a true vintage look. Besides its fine movement, wonderful all-original condition, and original box, we were drawn to this watch's timeless elegance - the watch's design felt to us like it could be of an automatic Patek Philippe from the '50's.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We were fortunate to acquire it with 100% original parts down to the original box. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its beautiful case made for Movado by the esteemed English case maker David Shackman and Sons, is near mint and crisp, never having been significantly polished.

At first glance, it looks like a sturdy interwar timepiece with a rotating bezel and crisp Arabic numerals. But hold it a little longer, and you realize you’re holding a chapter of horological history — a blueprint for the tool watches that would shape the decades to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduced in the 1930s, the Chronoplan was Movado’s bold response to the growing demand for wristwatches that could serve as both elegant timekeepers and practical instruments. Movado anticipated the need for function at a glance and combined it with the brand’s distinctive Swiss refinement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when most men’s watches measured 30–32mm and remained strictly dress-oriented, the Chronoplan dared to go larger, with a 34mm stainless steel case and most importantly a bi-directional rotating bezel that allowed its wearer to time events with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was decades before the tool watch era of dive and pilot watches all with elapsed time bezels came into full bloom. In many ways, the Chronoplan was a precursor to these icons. Rather than being a dive watch like the iconic Rolex Submariner or Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that followed, the Chronoplan was more of a versatile timing instrument — akin to the aviation and sporting chronographs of its era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt sat alongside other pioneering watches that introduced timing bezels for pilots, travellers, and engineers, well before the concept became associated primarily with diving. Its bezel offered practical utility, whether timing flight, a train departure, a horse race, or a mechanical test sequence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollectors today call pieces like this “bridge watches” — watches that connect the refinement of the 1930s with the tool-watch DNA of the mid-20th century. The Chronoplan embodies that balance. Its original dial, not highly toned with patina, is pure Art Deco elegance, with blued steel hands sweeping across a two-tone silvered surface, subsidiary seconds at 6, and bold painted Arabic numerals. Its rotating bezel and fairly sturdy stainless steel case, however, whisper of the new age of exploration and adventure soon to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImagine the original owner in the 1930s: perhaps a pilot using the bezel to calculate intervals during a flight, or a traveller keeping precise track of a train’s departure time across Europe. Wherever it went, it was a watch that brought readiness, precision, and quiet sophistication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly a relatively few examples were made. This example shows authenticity and character with its imperfections — signs of use and honest patina of a watch that truly lived its purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of our watchmakers has cleaned and oiled the movement. It is running strong and true, keeping very accurate time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap designed for fixed lug watches making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Movado Chronoplan was built for an age of innovation between the wars, when explorers, aviators, and engineers needed watches that could do more than tell the hour. With its elegant Art Deco styling and pioneering bezel design, this 1930s example captures the spirit of adventure that defined its time. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.

Finding an example like this - especially from this design era and likely made for the Japanese market - is very unusual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It showcases a distinctly architectural rectangular case, executed in stainless steel with warm 18K gold accents that create a strong visual rhythm across the bracelet. The elongated case and integrated bracelet give the watch a fluid, sculptural presence on the wrist - more akin to a piece of modernist jewelry than a traditional round dress watch. It has a confident, fashion-forward feel that reflects Movado’s long-standing dialogue with contemporary design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The dial continues this aesthetic with its minimalist layout and elongated numerals, reinforcing the vertical lines of the case. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We believe this Movado Elliptica reference was produced for the Japanese market, where Movado offered select design-forward and technology suggestive references that were not broadly distributed elsewhere. When introduced in Japan, this model carried an original retail price of ¥295,000, which translated to approximately $2,200–$2,400 USD at the time. Adjusted for inflation, that figure equates to roughly $3,800–$4,200 in today’s dollars, underscoring that this was positioned as a premium, design-focused offering rather than an entry-level dress watch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its premium theme carries over to its size and heft - it has a substantial feel and weight for a rectangular watch, and it's adjustable bracelet, which can be sized to fit even a small wrist, comes sized from the factory able to fit a wrist over 10 inches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What truly elevates this example is its condition. This watch has never been worn, retaining crisp factory finishes throughout the case and bracelet. The original bracelet shows no stretch or wear, and the case surfaces remain clean and sharp.

Its big and beautiful, measuring a full 36mm by 42mm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnother striking feature of this piece is its uncommon rose gold and stainless steel construction. While most examples of these Movado calendar watches were produced in yellow gold or steel, rose gold versions are encountered far less often.

This example remains original, preserving the design, construction, and materials that define early hermetic case experimentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the early twentieth century, dust and water were among the greatest enemies of wristwatches. Before modern gaskets and compression systems were perfected, manufacturers experimented with fully sealed case architectures in an effort to protect delicate movements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the most advanced of these early solutions were fully hermetic designs, in which the movement was enclosed within a sealed inner case and further protected by an outer, screw-secured shell. This Movado employs exactly such a system. Its screw-down bezel forms an integral part of the sealing mechanism, creating a jar-like closure that compresses the case components together to resist dust and water ingress. Unlike later partial solutions, this was a true attempt at full environmental isolation - a concept that would directly inform the next generation of waterproof cases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was decades before the tool watch era of dive watches. Fully hermetic watches were precursor to icons that ultimately took waterproof ratings to deep depths like the Rolex Submariner or Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that followed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring this same period, multiple manufacturers were racing to solve the problem of waterproofing, often arriving at different technical solutions simultaneously. Case makers such as François Borgel (FB) were supplying hermetic constructions to a variety of brands, while Rolex was pursuing its own path toward what would ultimately become the Oyster case. Movado’s Hermetic belongs squarely within this competitive moment - a parallel solution developed during the same era, reflecting the industry-wide push toward sealed, dust- and water-resistant wristwatches before any single standard emerged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin only a few years, these early hermetic approaches would be eclipsed by newer systems - most notably the Oyster case patented in 1926 - making surviving hermetic watches like this Movado especially scarce today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a “bridge watch” connecting the simplicity and refinement of the 1920's with the tool-watch DNA of the mid-20th century. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example shows authenticity and character with its imperfections - signs of use and honest patina of a watch that truly lived its purpose - while still remaining in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn person, the crystal does not look cloudly like the photos seem to suggest. The inner mineral glass crystal has a few scratches on it. Please inquire if you would like it replaced - it could easily be done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of our watchmakers has cleaned and oiled the movement and adjusted the hairspring. We have also tested the watch on a machine that spins it in all directions simulating it being worn - it is keeping accurate time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a new leather strap designed for fixed lug watches making it ready for immediate enjoyment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Movado full hermetic was built for an age of innovation between the wars, when explorers and adventure seekers need watches as robust as their aspirations.
