A dead Movado may need more than a battery
If the correct fresh cell does not restore normal operation, movement condition, corrosion and hand clearance become the next questions.
Crystal fit can be design-specific
Movado case and crystal shapes vary significantly, so a model or reference and photos are useful before shipping.
Mechanical models are evaluated by caliber
Automatic and hand-wound Movado watches follow the same movement-based diagnostic approach as other Swiss mechanicals.
Cosmetic condition matters too
Distinctive minimalist dials and polished cases make careful handling important even on ordinary functional repairs.
