Finding one with a three-tone dial, a vivid yellow finish, and a mirror-polished ring is another matter altogether. The yellow here is the dial’s original color, and its pairing with a François Borgel case makes this Acvatic a particularly compelling find.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduced as Movado’s first waterproof wristwatch, the Acvatic represents an interesting chapter in the brand’s history. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example houses Movado’s caliber 150MN, a dependable workhorse and one of the most robust movements of its era.
