A characterful vintage Mondia with the rarely seen “Sea Horse/Golden Horse” dial. The two-tone blue dial has aged into a dramatic patina, framed by a gilt minute track and applied baton markers. A date window sits at 3 o’clock, with faceted gold-tone hands to match. The slim stainless-steel case has hooded, integrated lugs that flow into a period bracelet; the clasp is stamped RICOH. Signed MONDIA caseback. A clean, 1970s Swiss dress-sport aesthetic with plenty of honest wear.
