{"product_id":"1970s-vintage-steel-movado-kingmatic-s-sub-sea-silver-dial","title":"1970's Vintage Steel Movado Kingmatic \"S\" Sub Sea - Silver Dial","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-end=\"589\" data-start=\"19\"\u003eThe Kingmatic line belongs to one of the more interesting chapters in Movado's history. Long before the brand became shorthand for the Museum dial, the company was a serious Swiss maker with a deep catalogue of refined mechanical watches. The Kingmatic name, introduced for Movado’s full-rotor automatics, sat at the meeting point of practical engineering and elegant daily wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-end=\"589\" data-start=\"19\"\u003eThis 1970s Kingmatic “S” Sub Sea captures that balance well. It is not a large watch, and it is better for it. The stainless steel slightly-oblong case measures 34mm across, with a 40mm lug-to-lug profile and a slim 9.6mm thickness, giving it the clean, close-wearing feel of a well-made period automatic. The subtly elliptical shape has just enough distinctiveness to feel considered without calling overt attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1477\" data-start=\"1052\"\u003eThe silver dial's brushed surface, faceted bar markers, and small lume plots give it a quiet rhythm, while the framed date window at three o’clock adds everyday usefulness without disturbing the composition. The baton hands are silver-colored with luminous inserts, matched by a slender central seconds hand. The result is direct and legible, casual and yet dressy enough to feel at home under a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2007\" data-start=\"1479\"\u003eCondition is a meaningful part of the appeal here. The case, acrylic crystal, and original dial are superb, with an original caseback sticker still mostly intact. It is a handsome and historically grounded Movado from a period when the brand’s mechanical watches still had real substance and unexpected styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSKU# G1103\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Movado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47824852254883,"sku":"G1103","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/1124\/3171\/files\/DSC03164.jpg?v=1782799052","url":"https:\/\/shop.gauthierwatches.com\/products\/1970s-vintage-steel-movado-kingmatic-s-sub-sea-silver-dial","provider":"Gauthier Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
