FS: SUPER MINT MOVADO DATRON HS360 "PANDA DIAL"

Hi,

I am selling this pretty rare and stunning PANDA dial MOVADO DATRON HS360.
This is a very special watch, really difficult to find in this mint/untouched condition, panda dial version and
with one of the best movements ever made.

The movement is the very well known 31-jewel 3019PHC movement. It is the first high-beat chronograph movement, at 36,000 bph,
which means that the second hand has a constant smooth sweep.

You can find more info on the watch here:

The case is in an untouched condition with the original graining perfectly intact, as well as the 45 degrees bevel between
uppercase and the side of the case. Between the lower lugs you will find the correct "stainless steel" engraving.
Between the upper lugs you will find the serial number 1893.
Case is really in mint condition with only a few very minor and superficial hairline scratches.

Panda dial is in absolute perfect condition. Superb creamy white colour. Subdials perfectly black with the concentric circles just perfect.
Hands in fantastic condition with no corrossion or pitting.
Hands and hour markers still have the original and perfectly matching lume.

Original plexiglass in very good condition.
Caseback has the "sub-sea" engraving.

Model: Movado Datron HS360
Serial number: 1893
Movement: 3019 PHC, 36,000 bph
Year: early seventies

Mechanically the watch is perfect, you pick it up and it starts thicking, chrono starts and resets as it should.
Great power reserve, keeps very good time, pushers extremely clean and crisp.

I am selling the watch at a very fair price. You also get the new Bulang "denim" strap ( worth 109 euros ) or the black alligator strap (see pictures).
So this is a nice opportunity to own a great looking watch with an original and legendary high-beat self-winding movement.
That Panda dial is absolutely stunning.

Price: 3200 euros ( insured Intex shipping and Bulang strap or alligator strap included )
( I give a full refund in case of any problem or in case the watch would not be as described )

Kind regards,
Bernard
