Zenith Mondia NOS - Tonneau - 18ct Gold Plated (20M) - No reserve price - Unisex - 1970-1979

Refined and elegant Mondia by Zenith vintage watch, an authentic style jewel dating from the 1970s and 1980s that embodies the timeless charm of ultraplatform dress watches in form. Founded in 1935 in Switzerland and later becoming part of the prestigious Zenith-Movado-Mondia group, the Mondia maison has distinguished itself for the creation of timepieces with sophisticated design and mechanical reliability typical of high Swiss watchmaking, offering creations of great class inspired by the era's great classics.

The watch arrives in NOS (New Old Stock) condition, meaning it is stock that has never been worn and has been kept with extreme care over the decades. The tonneau/oval gold-plated case retains its original brightness without signs of wear, as does the refined vertically satin champagne/gold dial with black Roman numerals at the four cardinal points (XII, III, VI, IX). The stainless steel case back still bears the original era protective sticker with the reference code GYA 8600. The manual-winding mechanical movement, Swiss ETA 2512-1 with 17 jewels — the same prestigious base movement used by Cartier in the same years for its iconic models (renamed Cartier calibre 78-1) — is clean, smooth when wound, and fully functional. Supplied with its original vintage black genuine crocodile-embossed leather strap and the original green tag reading “Mondia is a Zenith brand,” without box or guarantee.
