1950s Movado M95 Sub Sea with box & papers

One of the most underrated chronographs out there, the Movado Sub Sea stands out thanks to a superb design, a great movement and an exceptional construction. In particular, the case made by François Borgel , famous for having produced the case of the Patek Philippe 1463 chronograph.

This exceptional example from the 50s (no “M” on the dial above the Movado logo) features a rare design: all silver dial, with golden sub-registers hands (including the two usual serpentine hands), long tritium indexes and a chapter ring, where most references show a tachymeter scale.

Oh, the best part ? This exceptional timepiece comes with its original box, guarantee booklet and tag.
