Product Description
Essence is designed to be stylish and eco-friendly, using a mix of sustainable and renewable materials. The watch case uses Rizinus, a castor oil based substance, as the primary ingredient, which gives the case a comfortable lightness and strength, as well as a tactile finish. The watch strap uses natural rubber, which gives the strap a soft and comfortable fit, but still hard wearing. The dial is the iconic Swiss Railways design, licensed by the Swiss Railways SBB, with clear detailing and instantly recognisable second hand. Powering the watch is a Swiss quartz movement Continuing the eco-friendly and renewable approach, the watch is packaged in a felt pouch made from recycled PET bottles. The packaging is also versatile as it can be used as a smartphone pouch as well.

About Mondaine
Mondaine loosely translates as 'fashionable lady' and these watches represent a fashion that never goes out of style. Understated elegance with a variety of finishes, choose from dyed leather, chain link bracelets or classic monochrome for both men and women. The origin of the iconic Mondaine watch face design date back to 1944, when Hans Hilfiker first created what would become the face of Swiss Federal Railways timepieces. The signature style is simplistic and functional with a contemporary twist in the instantly recognisable red second hand. Easy to read, noticeable, straightforward and intelligent, Mondaine watches are made to high quality standards and specifications the traditional Swiss way. Each Mondaine watch features a variation on the archetypal design of Hilfiker and the pristine, punctual appearance associated with the days when the railroads were king.

Had to say I was really disappointed with this so sent it straight back. It’s so light weight that actually feels like a cheap child’s plastic toy watch. I loved the look and design but couldn’t justify the cost for such a cheap feel, hasn’t put me off the brand though, I’ll just get a more substantial stainless steel automatic.

The case of this watch is made from an eco-friendly plastic that derives from castor oil. Meanwhile, the strap is made of natural rubber, which makes this watch completely vegan. Combined with Modaine's highly legible signature dial, this is the perfect watch for anyone who wants to be that little bit greener
