Product Details
Offered here is a Mondaine Reference A667.30340.165BM Wristwatch in New Old Stock (NOS) condition, complete with its original boxes, hang tag, and booklet. Featuring Mondaine's unmistakable Swiss Railways-inspired dial, this 40mm stainless steel watch combines iconic Swiss design with practical quartz timekeeping.
The defining feature of the watch is its crisp white dial, based on the celebrated clock design used throughout Switzerland's railway stations. Bold black baton hour markers and highly legible baton hands create the clean, functional appearance for which Mondaine watches have become internationally recognized. The famous red seconds hand provides a striking contrast while immediately identifying the design with the Swiss railway clock aesthetic.
The watch is housed in a substantial 40mm stainless steel case, giving this model a more contemporary wrist presence than many traditional Mondaine watches. Its round case and clean lines complement the minimalist dial, while the stainless steel link bracelet provides a versatile appearance suitable for both casual and professional wear.
Powering
the watch is a dependable Swiss quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping
and convenient everyday ownership with minimal maintenance. A secure screw-back
case protects the movement and contributes to the watch's solid construction.
Most
importantly, this example remains in New Old Stock condition, with the case,
dial, and movement all rated as new. It is accompanied by its original boxes,
factory hang tag, and booklet, making it particularly appealing to collectors
seeking a complete, well-preserved example.

bracelet, and complete original presentation set, this Mondaine is an excellent
representation of modern Swiss industrial design.

The
Iconic Swiss Railways Dial
One
of the most recognizable elements of any Mondaine watch is its connection to
the legendary Swiss railway station clock. The original clock design was
created in 1944 by Swiss Federal Railways engineer Hans Hilfiker, who developed
an exceptionally clean and legible display that could be read quickly by
passengers throughout Switzerland's railway system.
Its
minimalist combination of a white background, heavy black hour markers, and
distinctive red seconds hand became a celebrated example of twentieth-century
Swiss industrial design.
Mondaine
subsequently adapted this famous visual language for its wristwatches, creating
a collection that is instantly recognizable around the world.
The
A667.30340.165BM brings that iconic aesthetic to a versatile 40mm stainless
steel wristwatch, allowing one of Switzerland's best-known designs to be worn
on the wrist.
Why
Collect Mondaine Watches?
Mondaine
occupies a distinctive place in Swiss watchmaking. Rather than relying on
elaborate decoration, the company's best-known watches celebrate clarity,
functionality, and minimalist Swiss design.
This
particular example offers several desirable features: a larger 40mm case,
stainless steel bracelet, iconic railway-style dial, reliable quartz movement,
and—most importantly—New Old Stock condition with its original accessories.
Complete
NOS examples become increasingly difficult to find as models age and packaging
is separated from watches, making this an especially attractive choice for a
Mondaine collector or anyone who appreciates classic Swiss design.
