Essence MS1.41110.RB - Mens Watch 41mm - Official Swiss Railways Wrist Watch Black Renewable Material Strap - 30m Water Resistant Sustainable - Watches for Men

If you want a large Mondaine, but don't want to pay Evo Big prices, then this is a more than acceptable replacement. The only real difference is the case material, which is traditionally steel but on this watch is a composite material, kind of like a plastic, that you absolutely do not need to worry about looking or feeling cheap - at a glance you'd not notice at all, and even on closer inspection it has a nice, slightly patterned matt look to it which works well with the simplicity of the watch's look. And of course, you can always mention the eco-credentials if anyone scoffs at the lack of steel! It's light on the wrist due to the materials used, which is nice, and means you can wear this watch all the time, including sleep, without really noticing it. Thanks to the white face and simple, black hands, it's very easy to read in both bright and low light conditions. I personally don't like rubber straps, but it's easy enough to swap that out for any other strap you want - it has 20mm wide lugs so replacements are easy to come by. Thanks to the minimalist Mondaine design language, this watch is subtle enough for everyday use, yet refined enough to be worn as a dress watch, especially if you swap out the strap to suit - I favour Nato straps which makes swapping them out extremely simple. There's no real downsides to this watch. One minor concern is that the glass sits ever so slightly above the rim of the case itself, potentially exposing it to chipping or scratching...however I've worn this watch pretty much constantly since purchase, in all manner of activities, and it's yet to get a mark on it.

Bought as a present for someone who would “never wear a watch”. He’s never taken it off!

Wanted this watch for ages, but too expensive. This year decided to go for it. I went for the 41 cm, even though l am a female and have a small wrist...as l find modern watches difficult to see the time. It's fashionable and the clock face fills me whole wrist. Only had a while, but it seems to keep the time well. Pleased with my present to me !!

I like the clear face and design of the second hand

As well as ticking all the required boxes, this watch also ticks every second with great accuracy. I would even go so far as to recommend it to people with older eyes.

I have always been attracted to the style and simplicity of this watch. Some watches look very stylish but are difficult to discern the time quickly. Frankly I chose this watch not because it’s vegan or sustainable but I simply love the style. I also chose it as I have sensitive skin and it is helpful in this regard as well. Keeps time well.

Very nice watch, easy to read with one glance. Typical Swiss quality, my only negative is that the strap is very stiff, a bit awkard to close, and not very flexible.

I like the dial design, it is iconic, but the implementation here is very very poor - this is like a Swatch but lower quality. The dial looks like it’s paper, the hands are extremely thin, the second hand judders when it ticks, and the whole watch is plastic, including the buckle on the strap. The cardboard box it came in is the highest quality part. Looks like something that came out of a cracker!

Buen reloj con nombre reconocido y de material reciclado ,estanco al agua para el día a día reloj practico sencilloy bonito de ver.

I finally got a Mondaine watch to add to my collection. On sale at Amazon right now. The design is simple yet elegant. I really like the 41mm face. Very easy to read, and no surplus gimmics to clutter up the dial. It is very light on the wrist and the rubber strap will last forever. The strap itself has a very interesting design feature. There are two strap loops. The one closest to the buckle is fixed. But the second loop slides and has a nub that fits into the strap holes. The last strap hole is larger, to accommodate the nub and keeps it from sliding. I have a rubber strap on another watch and even though it is years old it still looks and feels like new. I disagree, with some of the reviews here, that the watch looks and feels cheap. Comparing it to a toy watch is ridiculous. It feels great on my wrist. It is lighter than their manual wind watches and significantly less expensive. All around a great timepiece. My Rolex will get a well deserved rest now.

Cette montre est la réplique des montres dans les gare helvétiques. Belle montre sport.

Schöne Uhr auch für Frauen!
