It's quite a trend now that the market is into more simple and minimalistic design in watches. And so I started last week with one of these type of watches with the Nomos Tangomat, for this week, I'd love to share with you another simplistic round shaped case watch that's nothing too fancy or overstated, but a simple white faced dial adorned by the rectangular hands and the signature red seconds hand from Mondaine
The WWR# 13 is the Sports Gents Chronograph with model number A690.30308.11SBB. It is powered by a the dependable Swiss Ronda Quartz movement and housed in a stainless steel 41mm case. Aside from the dial design that is similar to the Swiss Railway Clocks, is the large date display over at the 12 o'clock position at the dial. And what I like most about this date function is its two window digit display style. Surely not what you usually nowadays with date windows and while trying it on and operating the date function, it's interesting to see how it flips to the next day without the need for the first window to change for days within the 10 digit period. The Chronograph function is also very smooth, the buttons work fine and the shiny case reflects also what is on the chapter ring on the dial thus mirroring the minute indices in a swindling image on the sides. You'll notice it once you try to handle one in person. The leather strap is on the medium scale of design, simple white stitches on the side. The watch wears a little smaller in person vs its spec of 41mm so it should fit any shirt or cuff comfortably. The price for this Modaine is around $600 as i've seen on retail store tags. If you want just a simple daily watch for your everyday job and weekend getaways, perhaps this is the watch for you. Dependable, Swiss, Simple, Elegant and Fashionable...Set it and enjoy it.
