I purchased this watch over 4 years ago and I am very satisfied. What attracted me to this model was the clean, intelligent design and versatile style - it can be worn with any business or casual attire. The watch is high-quality and durable. I have received more compliments on the watch than I can remember. I might note that the watch is much more "striking" in person; it's much shinier and more attractive than the online picture (it looks sort of gray - definitely not flattering). For this price you can't lose - I've seen this model in retail stores for around $700. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Part of Gevril's prestigious Avenue of the America collection, this automatic men's timepiece (model 5101) features a watch case and bezel made from 18 karat rose gold. With an updated retro feel that blends a sense of history with current style, the watch offers a bevy of small artistic flourishes including a uniquely patterned guilloche dial and a highly stylized Arabic numeral display that is raised off the surface of the dial. Measuring 44mm wide (1.73 inches), the large, tall rectangular case makes a statement, but it conforms easily to different wrist sizes. 

The black dial includes rose gold-tone Arabic numerals, three-handed movement, and a date window sitting above 6 o'clock. It's complemented by a supple black crocodile leather strap with tonal stitching. Other features include a 25-jeweled automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve, curved sapphire crystal for excellent scratch resistance, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. 

An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.

Sleek, modern styling and superior durability combine in this handsome Museum dial watch from Movado's Valor series. It features a black rectangular dial with silver-tone hands and a small silver-tone dot and Movado logo at the twelve o'clock position. The dial is housed in a case crafted from steely blue tungsten carbide with a virtually scratch-proof finish. This metal rates a 7 of 10 on Movado's scratch-proof scale. For comparison, aluminum rates a 3, gold a 4, steel a 5, and diamond a full 10. The watch presents on a handsome bracelet-style band made up of polished rectangular links and fastens with a hidden push-button deployment clasp. The case measures 35 mm long and bracelet measures 23 mm wide. Other notable features of this watch include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and precise Swiss quartz movement. Water-resistant to 30 meters, it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water; however, it is not sufficiently resistant for swimming.
