Highly charismatic, the original limited edition Movado Parlee was crafted in sandblasted black-PVD finished titanium and unidirectional black carbon fiber. 

Now Movado proudly introduces the 2015 Movado Parlee Automatic Chronograph in an edition limited to 250 individually numbered pieces. Offered this year in titanium and unidirectional carbon fiber, it is powered by the same fine ETA A07 Swiss automatic chronograph movement at the first edition. An exhibition case-back reveals the intricate workings of the fine self-winding mechanism with 48-hour power reserve. The design’s signature, double-contoured 46 mm case, 14.8 mm deep, is distinguished by a tone-on-tone Parlee logo along one side, a distinctively styled crown and chronograph pushers with recessed “Allen wrench” detail. 

Movado Parlee’s flat black 45mm bezel, fabricated from 250 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber, and its wide center bracelet links sport the same soft, brushed sheen as the durable, ultra-lightweight bike frame material innovated and perfected by Parlee. The wrap-around tubular framework in sandblasted gray titanium echoes the tubular form of a bicycle’s frame, fluidly integrating the raised case with the bracelet while giving the Movado Parlee an open, aerodynamic, ultra-modern silhouette. 

The recessed unidirectional black carbon fiber chronograph dial features a bold Movado Parlee logo in green, orange, blue or white at 3 o’clock and a brushed black flat Movado signature dot at 12 o’clock. Protected by an antireflective sapphire crystal, this contoured dial is encircled by a shiny black minute reflector ring with gray or white indices and Arabic numerals. Visibly deeper at the north/south ends, the reflector ring further enhances the watch design’s dimensionality and air of animation. Three black carbon fiber sub-dials – a 30-minute chronograph counter at 12 o’clock, 12-hour chronograph counter at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds hand at 9 o’clock – along with a date window at 3 o’clock, and white-tipped skeleton dauphine hour/minute hands and center-mounted chronograph seconds hand provide striking textural and color contrast. 

The lightweight Movado Parlee bracelet is constructed with narrow outer links in gray titanium, and wide unidirectional carbon fiber center links. Built for endurance, yet remarkably supple and comfortable, it secures firmly to the wrist with a push-button deployment clasp. 

Modern design and innovation define the Movado experience, and the newest Parlee Chronograph is a compelling example of the brand’s artistic creativity fused with technologically advanced watchmaking expertise. Water resistant to 5 ATM/ 50 meters.
