FOR SALE IS A GROOVY AND WEIRD LATE 60s MONDIA MOONSTONE.
- CASE: 1 PIECE ACRYLIC BLACK CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MEASURING 37mm ACROSS NOT COUNTING ORIGINAL SIGNED PVD CROWN. THIS IS THE PROTO-SWATCH WATCH CASE. SO LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE ON THE WRIST.
- DIAL: BULLSEYE BABY!! CHECK OUT THAT ALL ORIGINAL AND PERFECTLY PRESERVED STACKED DIAL WITH COLORS SO CRAZY I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE THEM PROPERLY. THE BACKGROUND DIAL IS A GOLDISH GREEN HUE WHICH FADES TO BLACK TOWARDS THE PERIPHERY. SITTING ON TOP OF THAT IS A BLACK DISC WHICH HAS THE HOUR HAND SHOOTING OFF OF IT. THE MINUTE HAND IS CONNECTED TO THE DARK RED DISK SITTING ABOVE, AND THE WHITE SWEEPER TOPS IT ALL OFF. THE EFFECT IS ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME.
- MOVEMENT: THIS MOONSTONE RUNS ON 17 JEWEL A SCHILD MANUAL WINDER. WATCH WAS SERVICED BACK IN 2017 AND IS RUNNING LIKE A TOP
THIS MONDIA COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL MONDIA SIGNED SINGLE PASS LEATHER STRAP WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED, BUT ITS MOUNTED ON A BLACK PERLON TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE MORE EXPERIMENTAL WATCH DESIGNS OF THE LATE 60s AND EARLY 70s. AS WATCHMAKERS WERE STARTING TO EXPLORE NEW MATERIALS AND DESIGN, THIS WAS ONE OF THE MORE OUTLANDISH ONES THAT EMERGED.
