Movado-Zenith President Kingmatic S Like NOS

This exceptional Movado Zenith President Kingmatic S from the late 1960s or early 1970s impresses with its near-mint condition, extravagant dial design, and original Movado stainless steel bracelet. Particularly remarkable is the striking oval stainless steel case, whose unusual shape and generous proportions give the watch an impressive presence on the wrist.

The history of this watch is closely linked to the collaboration between Movado and Zenith, which began in the late 1960s. This partnership gave rise to numerous interesting models, including the President Kingmatic S. The rarely seen double signature "Movado President Zenith" on the dial reflects this fascinating chapter in Swiss watchmaking history.

The high-contrast dial stands out with its silver-colored center and a wide, deep blue chapter ring featuring distinctive, elongated minute markers. The square blue hour markers with their original luminous material, add another striking detail. The entire dial remains in flawless original condition.

Equally impressive is the unusually shaped stainless steel monobloc case. Measuring 37.5 mm in width and 34 mm in height, it features a distinctive oval shape, further emphasized by the wide, smooth bezel. Thanks to its unique case design, concealed crown, and hidden lugs, the watch appears considerably larger and more prominent on the wrist than its dimensions might initially suggest. The case is preserved in excellent, near-mint condition and retains its original signed crown. The caseback features the characteristic "Movado President" engraving alongside the historic brand emblem.

Completing this remarkable example is the original Movado stainless steel bracelet, featuring an elaborate link construction and its original folding clasp adorned with the Movado logo.

An exceptionally well-preserved vintage watch with unmistakable design and impressive wrist presence.
