Vintage Movado Swiss Watch, Art Deco Square Tank, Two-tone Salmon Dial from 1940's, Beautiful patina

This vintage Movado Art Deco tank is a striking and rare piece from the golden age of design. With its 25mm x 33mm rectangular case, it offers classic Art Deco proportions and a strong vintage wrist presence without overwhelming the wrist — the perfect balance of elegance and geometry.

The highlight here is unquestionably the two-tone salmon dial, which has developed a rich, even patina that enhances the warmth and texture of the original finish. A light central section is framed by a deeper, copper-toned chapter ring with applied numerals in a stylized Art Deco typeface. The sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock mirrors the stepped geometry of the case, completing the layout with a strong sense of period-correct symmetry.

Powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement, this Movado reflects the brand’s legacy of precision and design innovation in the early 20th century. The stainless steel case retains its elegant lugs and sharp angles, adding to the sculptural feel of the piece.
