Brand heritage

Mondia was a Swiss watchmaker from La Chaux-de-Fonds, founded in the 1930s and known for well-made, good-value mechanical watches. In 1969 it joined Zenith and Movado to form the Mondia-Zenith-Movado group, and the brand went on to produce many of the colourful sports watches of the 1970s.

Model history

Before the group era, Mondia built its reputation on clean, classically proportioned dress watches such as this one. The sunburst dial with applied baton markers and centre seconds, in a 35mm case with screw back, is the archetypal Swiss gentleman's watch of the 1960s.
