Damaged Watch Crystal Appraisal

Movado Museum Women's Watch with Diamond Bezel and Damaged Crystal

This is a Movado Museum-style wristwatch featuring a black dial and a black band with gold-toned accents. The watch face is circular with a gold-toned bezel, which appears to be adorned with a single row of small, round, colorless stones, likely diamonds or cubic zirconia, set around its circumference. The iconic Movado 'Museum' dial is present, characterized by a single gold-toned concave dot at the 12 o'clock position and no other hour markers, contributing to its minimalist and elegant aesthetic. The watch features two gold-toned hands, indicating hours and minutes. The crystal covering the watch face shows significant damage, with a large, irregular chip or break visible in the lower right quadrant, obscuring part of the dial. The watch band is composed of interconnected black, rectangular links, each featuring a raised, circular gold-toned accent in its center. The band's material appears to be a composite or ceramic, known for durability and a sleek finish. The case back and crown, partially visible, are gold-toned. The craftsmanship indicates a designer timepiece. The observable damage to the crystal is a significant condition issue that would require repair and impact its current market value. The age is estimated to be late 20th to early 21st century, consistent with Movado's consistent design language for the Museum collection.
