An unworn NOS Mondia Triumph chronograph in a striking colour scheme of green and orange. Model reference 0390
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
According to Mondia’s website the company split from Zenith in 1990 and the logo changed from the four rainbows to a inverted triangle. This watch has the paperwork, uncompleted as the watch was never sold, with the old logo and showing this was part of the Zenith Movado group still. The person we bought the watch from said this was one of the last made under this partnership, and he used to be an authorised dealer for Mondia and Zenith. The instructions are also onlyin Italian, which could indicate the new company printed the instructions (Mondia is now Italian)
CONDITION
This Triumph model was also available with a bracelet, but these do feel a little flimsy so the strap is a better choice in our opinion. This is the original strap, with buckle signed Triumph too. Despite being unworn except for photography the edge of the strap has started to fray at the edge, as shown in the photos and video. However that is the only negative. The 60 click unidirectional bezel turn with a positive click, and all the functions on the chronograph work perfectly. The movement is made by Citizen’s Miyota department, so should prove very reliable and we will fit a new battery before sending this watch out to you. Mondia was the cheaper choice of the Zenith Movado Mondia partnership, so the build quality reflects this – for example the case is chromed rather than polished stainless steel. But it is also a good size for the time, and the colours make this an excellent summer watch. The branded box is made of a softwood, and the hinge is broken. The case back still has the original sticker on it, albeit somewhat wrinkled.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, uncompleted papers and our Certificate of Authenticity.
