Notes

In 1990, Movado launched the "Collection 1881", creating several replicas of famous models which have marked its history. "1881" refers to the date when the Movado factories were founded. The present watch No. 256 is part of this collection, each model has been produced in very few examples and was presented for the first time at the Basel Fair in 1990.
