Imagine a watch that combines the elements of elegance and sportsmanship. It would have to be a high-performing piece, constructed of the finest materials and crafted in an innovative way. There would also be a pressing need for strong resistance, high quality functionality and a certain respect for fashion at the same time. These are the exact things that Movado has accomplished with their Sports Edition watches. It is a special collection that caters to the very specific needs of sports-minded watch wearers.

Since 1981, the highly popular Sports Edition collection has played an important part in fashion, business and in the lives of the professional athletes. Movado maintains a very strong connection with the sports world. Today, renowned athletic ambassadors such as Pete Sampras and Derek Jeter proudly wear the brand and are a testimony to its dedication to high-performing timepieces. Watches in the collection have been continually redesigned with more creativity and scientific elements in the design process to achieve the optimum level of performance.

Movado's Sports Edition is a dynamic collection of luxury timekeeping pieces that features detailed contouring. The contouring is designed with both artistic and aerodynamic considerations in mind. Stainless steel is the foundation for the watch because of its durability and resistance. However, solid, two-tone or 18K gold plating enhances the beauty and gives an overall impression of fine craftsmanship to the watches in the Sports Edition collection. Most of them also feature the Museum Watch dial, a simple design with only a single dot in the 12 o'clock position. Beyond the basics, versatility is a key element. All watches in the Sports Edition are water resistant up to 30 meters. These watches are available with a varying number of options, including the classic Museum Watch dial or an Arabic dial, with or without diamonds. An additional choice between quartz and fine automatic movement is also available. The myriad of possibilities for these watches continued when the band is accounted for. For the ladies, fine craftsmanship and athleticism meet the exotic with neon pink, ocean blue and lizard green hues.

The men's watches feature the same artistic design, aerodynamic contouring and a variety of band offerings. Some special chronograph versions of the Sports Edition are also available in the men's portion of the Sports Edition collection. Chronograph watches serve a dual purpose as timekeepers and stopwatches, and the Movado design is one that is both appealing and functional. The Sports Edition Chronographs highlight a single digit on the watch face; that is the 12 in the northernmost position. Dots indicate other critical points in time on the dial. It is a striking contrast to the oft-cluttered look of the average chronographic watch.

Simplicity, elegance and quality performance are at the crux of Movado's Sports Edition watches. They are fine examples of the Swiss watch tradition and are capable of going the distance and meeting the needs of individuals who enjoy a fast-paced lifestyle. The Sports Edition collection strives for nothing less that perfection.
