Late 1930s – Movado "MK-9" Ref. 12717 SS 37mm Aviator Watch
This is a very rare Movado “MK-9” Ref. 12717, featuring a silver luminous dial. The 37mm oversized stainless steel case includes a rotating bezel with a dust cover and a large crown designed for ease of operation. The silver dial with large luminous numerals offers excellent legibility and shares the same construction as the MK-9 models produced by International Watch Company (IWC) during the same era.
With beautiful aging and patina, this piece exudes remarkable vintage character. It is powered by Movado’s own Cal. 75, known for its elegant Côte de Genève finishing. Additional distinctive features include matching reference and serial numbers engraved on both the case back and the dust cover—details that set it apart from standard models and highlight its uniqueness.
