Mondaine Classic Quartz Watch with Blue Dial.
The Classic line brings Hans Hilfiker’s 1944 station clock design for the Swiss Federal Railways to the wrist. Mondaine has produced the design under official SBB license since 1986. This model retains the large, clear indexes and bold hands designed for passengers and station staff. Phaidon includes the design in its 999 Design Classics. Crafted from brushed 316L stainless steel, the case measures 36 mm and is 7.5 mm thick.
Powered by a Swiss Ronda 513 quartz caliber, the watch displays the hours, minutes, and seconds. The hardened mineral crystal has a hardness of 550 to 650 Vickers, about 20% harder than conventional mineral crystal. The crown is sealed with a gasket, and the 316L case back is pressed in. A 371 cell provides about 24 months of battery life.
Matte hands and markers sit against the deep ocean blue dial. Made from recycled PET bottles with a cork lining, the matching deep ocean blue textile strap measures 18 mm wide and fastens with a brushed steel buckle.
Hans Hilfiker, an engineer employed by the Swiss Federal Railways, designed the station clock in 1944. Its red second hand was inspired by the dispatcher’s trowel. Founded by Erwin Bernheim in 1951, Mondaine brought the design to the wrist in 1986 under an official SBB license.
Mondaine’s Swiss railways design appears in Phaidon’s 999 Design Classics and is widely considered one of the 10 classic Swiss watch designs.
Rated 3 ATM, or 30 m, it handles splashes, rain and hand-washing. Take it off before swimming or showering.
The textile is made from recycled PET bottles and has a cork lining for comfort against the skin.
