Classic 40
Classic 40 by Mondaine is deliberately understated and therefore long-lasting in design. The 40 mm stainless steel case (brushed) houses the Ronda quartz movement (quartz). Mineral glass and 30 m water resistance place the watch in practical terms; it is worn on the leather (vegan) strap at the office and in everyday life. A design that will still look right in ten years.
