I found the cheapest Movado watch on Amazon. It's called the Movado Face and, frankly, I don't like it.
The Movado Face
It comes in a variety of pastel colors that are completely incompatible with my traditional masculinity. The best color combo that I could find is this Brown and Black combination. It's a Swiss Made quartz watch and it plays with Museum dial by blacking it out. The watch costs just under $400.
You can take a look at the rest of the colors below. If you like them, you do you. I think they suck. Of course, it's a big world and people from other cultures are more accepting of different color palettes. You can see this Movado Face watch here on Amazon.

But, this exercise of looking for the cheapest watches has taught me a valuable lesson. You may like a luxury watch brand. You may feel the cachet of the brand. You may have even wanted a watch from a brand for a long time. But, if you don't like the watch that the brand offers at your price point, find another brand or save your money for a bit longer. Fortunately, there are other Movado watches that I do like.
The Movado Bold Versa
For example, I like this Movado Bold Versa. With a stainless steel case and blue dial, it's an attractive and masculine watch. As of this writing, this Movado is just under $450 as a 20% off Amazon sale special.
This Bold Versa has a 42mm diameter case for plenty of presence on the wrist. It offers a more obvious play on the Movado Museum dial disc. I like it. You can also see it here on Amazon. When it comes to Movado, I'd also take a close look at their Classic Museum watch or their newer, but retro, Calendoplan models.
