Movado Ermeto Pocket-Purse Watch with Automatic Wind and Two-Tone Round Dial, All-Original Extra Fine+ Condition, c.1940

Here we have a superb Movado Ermeto pocket or purse watch with the self winding mechanism that winds the watch each time the case is pulled apart to read the time and with the very scarce two-tone round dial produced during the 1940's war years. Black genuine baby alligator cover is in excellent condition with no tears, stains or damage. Mint stainless steel case with easel stand for bedside or desk. Sweep seconds hand and original luminous filled hands that exactly matches the luminous material on the Arabic numerals. The luminous material has long since lost it's glow and there is a small amount of loss in the minute hand. Sweep seconds are rare on Ermeto's. The dial on this watch changes color as it catches the light and is just stunning. Two tone bull's-eye dial with silvered square frame is factory original finish and looks as clean and beautiful as when new. Original Eidelweiss crown.
