Movado Annual Calendar Triple Date Moonphase

While ‘complications’ — functions beyond simple time-telling — can make a watch much more interesting, they don’t necessarily have to make it much more expensive.

Movado once made various complicated watches featuring chronographs, moon phase displays, calendars, and more. While most of these were mechanically powered, some were in fact quartz. The Reference 87-03-862 from the 1980s-1990s fits into this mold.

Housed in a 35mm gold-plated case with an acrylic crystal, an unsigned crown, and a stepped bezel, it features a handsome, multi-tone dial with printed Roman numeral indices, sub-registers displaying the day, month, and moonphase, a 'pointer-date' indicator around the periphery of the dial, while a matching sword handset completes the look. Paired to one of our Atlantic blue Saffiano leather straps, this charming piece just might just be a perfect dress watch if you are they type to only suit up a few times a year. 

If you love the look or functionality of complicated watches but don’t want to drop five or six figures on one, look no further.

This is the watch for you!

While Movado is now best known as a producer of fashion watches like the Museum Watch, Movado's roots go much deeper than that. The company’s history reaches all the way back to 1881, when watchmaker Achilles Ditesheim opened a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. His brothers Léopold and Isidore joined him in 1886.

Production from that point on proved how true the name brand was—it means "always in motion" in Esperanto. Throughout the 20th century Movado produced incredible mechanical timepieces. They gained notoriety for the sophistication of the equipment and technology they employed, including electric tools.

Unlike many of their counterparts, Movado's movements were designed and manufactured in-house.

In the late 1960s, they were acquired by Zenith, and enjoyed perhaps their greatest period of success as the subsidiary of that brand. Their chronographs (which used the famous Zenith El Primero movement), particularly, were successful sellers. But the extent of their offerings didn’t end there. They also made killer dress watches like the one we have here.
