Esq Appraisal

ESQ by Movado Squadron Chronograph Watch

This is a men's ESQ by Movado Squadron Chronograph wristwatch featuring a stainless steel construction. The watch has a round case with a coin-edge bezel and a dark blue or black dial. The dial features a tri-compax layout with three sub-dials: a small seconds sub-dial in yellow at the 9 o'clock position and two dark sub-registers at 12 and 6 o'clock. It uses large yellow Arabic numerals for hour markers and a date window located at the 3 o'clock position. The primary hands are silver-toned with luminescent fill, accented by a bright orange chronograph seconds hand. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, indicated by the 'Swiss Quartz' marking at the bottom of the dial. It is fitted with a matching stainless steel link bracelet with a fold-over clasp. Condition-wise, the watch shows significant signs of wear. The crystal exhibits heavy scratching and scuffing, particularly near the center, which obscures the dial. The stainless steel case and bracelet show numerous surface scratches, swirl marks, and accumulated dirt (grime) in the crevices of the bezel and lugs, suggesting frequent use without recent cleaning. The overall appearance is consistent with an early 2000s sport-style timepiece.
