Exclusive, rarest Movado Ermeto Master cal. 5M cult travel clock / wallet clock in a rare version with indirect second on the side

The rare Movado Ermeto model "Master" - recognizable by the "M" behind the movement number - is made of gray cast iron and not stainless steel (Movado technical term: "Grisite"), slightly larger than the "normal" Ermeto and, in addition to the rare 5M movement, has an equally rare manual winding mechanism. The watch is not wound automatically by opening and closing, but like a wristwatch, by hand.

Attention! The Movado Ermeto has often been copied or built under license by other well-known manufacturers. This is a rare original Movado example, and it's the "Master" model with the super-rare Caliber 5M movement in the rare version with indirect second hand and manual winding!

This magnificent piece of design history was recently serviced in 2024 (see photos/receipt)! Please note the cost of 160 euros (and that was ultra-cheap, because the watchmaker wanted to hold a real Movado Ermeto Master in his hands for once...) when making a price offer.

Outer material genuine exotic skin (with signs of wear - see photos) in dark brown color.

Ivory dial, gold-plated indices, magnificent Breguet-style hands, indirect second at the 3 o'clock position, luminous indices, circa 1950s 17 ruby bearings, Incabloc shock protection, fold-out stand for use as a table clock, case dimensions: 37 mm wide and 51 mm long (77 mm extended)

Movement: rarest Movado caliber 5M, this magnificent luxury artifact runs continuously (accuracy not tested)

EZ: 2 - little signs of age or use, genuine leather outer skin shows the signs of wear visible in the pictures, runs on and through

I would like to expressly thank eBay member maniloehr for detailed information about this rare piece!
