Movado 'Hinged Lugs'

A mechanical Movado from the 1940s to 1950s offers a ton of value in the watch world.

Movado, established in 1881, made some of the finest time-only and complicated watches of the 20th century. Their famed triple-calendar watches of the 1940s and ‘50s and Super Sub Sea chronographs from the 1960s are highly sought after by collectors, and for good reason — combining high-quality movements with attractive design, they’re the type of timepieces that draw people headfirst into the horological world.

Designed in the mold of other unique pieces from the era, this awesome Movado is classic field watch in build. Sporting a stainless steel case and lovely charcoal patinaed dial, this piece is most noteworthy for its hinged lug profile which allows the piece to conform to the contours of the wrist brilliantly.

This watch is the type of vintage look that we love here at Analog:Shift, and it captures the 1940s-1950s characteristics perfectly. It's quite unlike anything else out there on the market, and no brands make these types of pieces today. If you're looking for an excellent foray into midcentury watchmaking, these pieces pack an incredible value punch.

Snag it now!

For those of you who have been around awhile (or are at least well educated on all things old-school), you know that Abercrombie & Fitch wasn't always the trendy, bare-chested, short-shorts hocking, teeny-bopper fashion brand that they were for the past 25 years.

Once upon a time the brand was a true outfitter for the serious outdoorsmen, offering everything from mosquito netting to elephant guns in their stores - serious provisions for your safari into the dark heart of Africa.

We remember hearing stories of our grandfathers' visits to their flagship store on Fifth Avenue, being greeted by giant taxidermied elephants at the entrance, instead of a mouthful of over-bearing perfume and a crowd of tourists excited to buy this season's disposable fashion trend at exorbitant prices.

While many modern brands have gone to great lengths to honor their history and heritage, Abercrombie gave theirs the finger and ran away in the opposite direction, and only recently has turned the corner and are re-embracing their storied past.

We're hopeful for their future once again, and adds to our renewed excitement when we find quality vintage A&F timepieces such as this beauty!
