This 24mm stainless steel case frames a sleek black dial with a minimalist aesthetic and a two-tone gold-and-silver bangle that embodies Movado’s timeless, dress-ready appeal.

Care & Repair Considerations

If you’re planning to repair or repurpose, consider the following:

• Replace or repair the broken buckle to restore wearability
• Inspect the quartz movement: replace the battery if necessary and verify timekeeping after reassembly
• Evaluate the bangle for reattachment or replacement to restore the two-tone bracelet look
• Keep in mind this piece is not water resistant and is best cared for as a vintage accessory or salvage project
