Mondia Chronograph Triple Register – Ref. 03-993-60

Valjoux 7736 – Blue Vignette Dial with Exotic Red & White Accents – 1970s Vintage Rarity

We’re thrilled to present this striking and exceptionally rare Mondia Chronograph, reference 03-993-60, housing the venerable Valjoux 7736 manual-wind movement. This bold and beautiful piece captures the spirit of 1970s avant-garde chronograph design, blending sharp functionality with eye-catching dial aesthetics that remain arresting even by today’s standards.

A Standout from the Golden Age of Chronographs

Produced at a time when mechanical chronographs were both a tool and a style statement, this Mondia triple-register chrono is a perfect example of bold mid-century design. The Valjoux 7736—part of the legendary Valjoux 72 lineage—powers a robust, cleanly laid-out chronograph with three sub-dials for seconds, minutes, and hours.

At 39mm, the stainless steel case offers ideal proportions for both comfort and wrist presence, with round pushers and a screw-down caseback delivering ruggedness and vintage authenticity. The case is sharply preserved, and all components are triple signed: dial, crown, and movement—all factory original.

Dial Design: Blue Vignette with Exotic Flair

What truly sets this reference apart is the exotic vignette dial, a visually mesmerizing deep blue tone that transitions into a dark gradient toward the outer track. Accented by vibrant red markers and hands, it offers vivid legibility and irresistible contrast.

The white sub-dials add a daring pop, designed with broad, alternating stripes to mark out the seconds, minutes, and hours. This rare dial configuration is both playful and technical—evoking racing chronographs and sport-timing pedigree—while the red sweep chrono hand completes the aesthetic with a dynamic touch.
