This vintage Movado Calendomatic Ref. 46351 was presented in the 1950s as the Calendomatic was part of Movado’s effort to integrate complex functions into elegant and reliable wristwatches, combining automatic winding with a full triple calendar (day, date, month) . This watch has a 32.5 mm solid 14kt. Gold screw-back case, measured excluding the original crown, the case is in a very good condition and it shows only light traces of use.
The calendar correctors are positioned on the case side, and the case serial number is also the same as the caseback The case was manufactured by François Borgel, a renowned Geneva-based casemaker known for producing waterproof cases with a screw-down back and high machining standards.
The caseback is correctly numbered and screws down firmly, ensuring a degree of protection against moisture. A domed plexiglass crystal completes the case, preserved in excellent condition. The watch has a professionally restored silvered dial, well proportioned arrow-head markers, the original hands, and a central date pointer. The calendar windows for day and month are displayed at 12 and 6 o'clock respectively, are in English and in an excellent condition. Powering the watch is the Movado Caliber 223, an in-house automatic movement introduced in the early 1950s.
This caliber is equipped with a bumper rotor, operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour, and offers a 36-hour power reserve. Designed to be robust yet elegant, the Cal. 223 remains a qualitative example of Movado’s manufacture-grade movements during the golden age of Swiss watchmaking. This timepiece is paired with a new lizard strap.
