Mondia vintage chronograph with Valjoux 7733

Up for sale is this Mondia chronograph. With its metallic blue dial, contrasting white and red colours and rare NSA Novavit bracelet it is a really cool looking 70’is quality chronograph.
It is in surprisingly good condition – properly never polished – running strong – marked Mondia on crown, movement, case back and bracelet.

History:
In 1969, following the introduction of the automatic chronograph „El Primero“, Mondia and Movado were included in the Zenith watch company. From this merger arose the holding company "Mondia-Zenith-Movado". Mondia was aimed on the mid-market segment.

Dimension:
39.5mm wide without crown.
41.9mm wide with crown.
42.8mm high.
12.1mm thick.

Case:
Big cushion shaped stainless steel case in good condition. Of cause not unmarked of something like 40 years, but grindings are still clear. Also the case back I remarkable well preserved. There is reason to believe that it has never been polished.

Dial and hands:
Both dial and hands are spotless and with all lume intact.
On the circumference of the dial is a clear white tachymeter scale.

Crystal:
Still very clear but it has two dings that I have not been able to polished away.

Movement:
Valjoux 7733. It looks wonderful with the golden rhodium parts. When used in Heuer, Breitling, Zenith and many chronographs of that age it is nickel plated.
I have no idea of the service history but it runs as it should and resets to zero. Pusher action and setting of the watch feels light and crisp.

Crown:
Original Mondia marked.

Bracelet:
The Mondia marked NSA Novavit bracelet is not only a very rare find but also in good condition.
Total length (including the watch) is apx. 195mm so it will fit most.

Price:
Taking the condition of the watch and the original bracelet into account I am looking for €650 OBRO.
Price include worldwide signed for delivery. If you want insurance I will find the price for you.

Thanks for looking and thanks to OTD/Chronotrader.
