Funny you say that. After finding my second Mondiane, it made me want to know about more of their aquatic named models but info on this era/line of the brand seems to be nil.


Wouldn’t mind seeing more models from this brand.

Nice! I watched a black Herring (exaclty like my silver one) go on eBay a few weeks ago for far more than I was willing to pay. Seems some people appreciate these.

New arrival. Having trouble capturing the glossy gilt dial in photos.


Gorgeous. There are a couple dial and case variations on these, is this an earlier execution?

Yes, I think it is an early example.

Interesting Blandford SA in an asymmetric Squale case with a fun split Bakelite bezel.

I was drawn to Blandford primarily because it has a similar split bakelite bezel that that on my Movado HS360 Super Sub Sea with El Primero movement 😀

Latest ebay pick up. Basket case for a cool fifty. Cleaned up nice. Love the diving tank logo. Never seen one before. Surprisingly Tri State signed movement and case.

This Movado really left a hole in your heart- I totally get it.

A French Mitchell 10 hpz ( hectopièze ) from the 1960s with killer patina! 😀
