Movado Ref 12717
Movado was one of the top brands in the early 20th century until the early 70's, producing high quality watches, often associated with pilots.
The Movado Ref 12717, is one of the rarest of the Movado steel pilot watches, indeed of all pilot watches, and is believed to have been produced between 1936 and 1938. Unfortunately the current Movado brand, shares no affiliation to the original, and as such has no archive to access. It is unique in that it is the only other Steel pilot watch that shares physical attributes to the famed IWC MK IX, sharing an almost identical 37,5mm steel case, with inner steel dust cover, and an identical fluted steel rotating bezel (interchangeable with the MK IX). Currently less than 10 examples have been observed.
