Description & Technical Details
Up for auction is a rugged piece of 1990s adventure history: a Camel Trophy "Superchrono" Chronograph, reference 774.3080-3089. This iconic model belongs to the golden era of the legendary Camel Trophy off-road endurance events. Commissioned by the Mondaine Watch Company, these robust timepieces were designed to handle extreme outdoor environments while embodying a true "tool-watch" aesthetic.
The engineering core of this watch is the highly celebrated Miyota 3S10 (also known as Citizen 3510) quartz caliber. This sophisticated, 12-jewel electronic movement is famous among collectors for its extreme accuracy and impressive array of complications, including a 1/50th of a second chronograph, a 12-hour register, a countdown timer, a quick-set date, and a mechanical-acoustic alarm function. It is an exceptionally reliable movement that was so highly regarded in the 1990s that brands like Breitling used it for their premier aviation lines (e.g., Jupiter Pilot).
• The Dial: The face features a beautiful, multi-layered layout in deep charcoal grey and silver. The luminous hour plots and red accent hands provide quick, legibility at a glance, true to its rally instrumentation inspiration.
• The Case: Built like a tank, the case features an innovative matte finish crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled Mondaine metal with a solid stainless steel screw-down caseback. The distinctive rotating bezel is heavily notched for easy grip, giving the watch an unmistakable, muscular wrist presence.

Condition Report & Servicing Status
• Mechanical State: Fully operational. All chronograph hands reset precisely to zero, the date wheels flips correctly at midnight, and the alarm chimes perfectly when engaged. The quartz movement keeps superb, highly accurate vintage time. Equipped with a fresh battery.
• Cosmetics: In very good vintage pre-owned condition. The sandblasted matte finish on the case retains its bold structure with only minor hairline micro-scuffs from careful wear over the decades. The mineral crystal is clean, and the caseback retains crisp, legible deep factory stampings: "100% Post Consumer Recycled Mondaine Metal Case", "Camel Trophy Adventure Watches", and reference "774.3080-3089". It comes mounted on a highly comfortable, period-correct black "Tropic" pattern sport strap.
• Note: Water resistance has not been tested and is not guaranteed due to the watch's vintage nature; please keep it protected from submersion or heavy moisture.
