The Movado 608 watch movement is an automatic movement with a sweep second function. Its notable features include a mounting frame that incorporates parts of the date assembly, as well as a indirectly driven minute hand which allows for a large balance. The movement utilizes two barrels coupled in parallel to make efficient use of available space. If equipped with 27 jewels, it includes 5 hole jewels for horizontal guide of the date disc and 4 cap jewels for vertical guide. It also provides the functions of day and date display, which can be set by +/-24h and a pusher at 2 o'clock respectively.
