Samie,

I think it's mid-1950s. The "rocking-horse" M logo dates to at least 1956. That's also when they brought out the "Kingmatic", so yours may be a bit earlier than that.

Regards,

Cary

Hey Samie, Nice... I like it! And agree to the mid 1950's vintage.

The Movado History book says it was introduced in 1960 and discontinued in 1967.

The date I mentioned comes from the Movado website. I wonder which one is correct.
