SPEEDY~LATE 60s MOVADO/ZENITH KINGMATIC HS 360 ~FULL SET

Regular price $0.00 $0.69 Sale

FOR SALE IS THIS SUPERB MOVADO/ZENITH HS 360 36000 AUTOMATIC WITH FULL SET.

 

  • CASE: SLEEK AND SEXY C-SHAPED GOLD PLAQUE CASE MEASURING A NICE 36mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 39mm LUG TO LUG. CASE IS IN REALLY GREAT SHAPE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH AND NO SIGNS OF WEAR IN THE GOLD. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR DINGS ON THE EDGE OF THE CROWN-SIDE OF THE CASE WHICH DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL STELLAR CONDITION OF THIS ONE. THERE IS A PRETTY LENGTHY PERSONALIZATION ON THE CASE-BACK WHICH I PERSONALLY THINK GIVES THIS ONE SOME CHARACTER.

 

  • DIAL: NOW, THIS IS SUPER CLASSY.  CHECK OUT THAT SUBTLE VERTICAL BRUSHED CHAMPAGNE DIAL WITH THAT MIRRORED GOLD SLOPING MINUTES TRACK. I LOVE THOSE APPLIED STEEL/GOLD MARKERS WHICH MATCH AWESOMELY WITH THOSE SANDWICH STYLE STICK HANDS. SUCH A LOOKER

 

  • MOVEMENT: THIS MOVADO RUNS ON A PREMIUM AND HIGHLY ACCURATE MOVADO HS 408 36000 BPH HI-BEAT MOVEMENT WHICH WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE FOR THAT MANUFACTURER IN THE LATE 60s and EARLY 70s.  WHILE MOST CALIBERS OF THAT PERIOD RAN AT 18000 OR 21600 BPH, THE 36K MOVEMENTS WERE CHARACTERIZED BY THEIR BUTTER SMOOTH SWEEP OF THE SECONDS HAND ACROSS THE DIAL.  THIS ONE HAS A QUIKSET DATE.  SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH KEEPS TIME AND IS RUNNING NICELY.

 

THIS KINGMATIC IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE USED BROWN STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER GROOVY ON THIS GUY.  INCLUDED IS THE ORIGINAL INNER/OUTER BOX, MANUAL, AND KINGMATIC HS360 HANG TAGS. THE INSIDE PORTION OF THE INNER BOX IS MISSING.  THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND COMPLETE COLLECTORS SET.  THESE MOVADO HS 360 AND THEIR ZENITH COUNTERPARTS WERE BIG PLAYERS IN THE HI BEAT CRAZE OF THE LATE 60s. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE AND A SUPER HANDSOME MOVADO WHICH MAKES A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER.
