The MONDAINE VINTAGE AUTOMATIC is a Swiss brand-name watch with a mechanical movement, so it needs no batteries. It is factory-tested for water resistance and shock-resistance.

The big breakthrough for automatic watches came in the 1940s after continual improvement of this winding system over the years. Until the advent of quartz watches, automatic watches were the only convenient alternative to traditional hand-wound models.

Mechanical watches look back on a long tradition and, even today, they are the skilled watch-maker's pride and joy. For many watch fans, mechanical watches are still the only real ones.

The MONDAINE VINTAGE AUTOMATIC picks up and continues the success story of the top-quality Swiss mechanical watch.

Its mechanical movement is a first-class Swiss product and accuracy is guaranteed by the precise interaction of many tiny, meticulously adjusted components such as cogs, pivots and springs.

The principle of the automatic watch is based on a rotor mounted on a ball bearing which is

turned to the right or left by gravity. Any movement bends the winding spring, so the watch is continually wound up.

Mechanical watches in general are less accurate than quartz watches, and the same applies to the MONDAINE VINTAGE AUTOMATIC.

You will have to bear with this slight variation because, although the movement is very precise, the absence of electronics makes it more sensitive to changes in temperature, movement and mechanical factors.

If you attach importance to absolute accuracy, you should check your watch every couple of days and adjust it as necessary or wear a MONDAINE quartz watch.

Your MONDAINE VINTAGE AUTOMATIC should be wound some 10 - 20 times before wearing to ensure it runs regularly from the time you first put it on.

After a time, the movement of your wrist will have charged the watch with a running reserve of about 36 hours, so it can be taken off at night without causing problems.
