Mondia Orbitron

[RogDen]

Just picked this Mondia Orbitron Auto up along with a Seiko 7006 8002 from a local jeweller's box of odds he had taken in.

Does anyone know much about Mondia? It has a 20micron Gold Plate case I think Incabloc movement but i have not had the back off yet.
Been wearing it for a couple of days and seems to keep reasonable time, apart from a nasty scratch between 5 and 6 on the crystal it seems in quite good nick.
I dont know any history at all but i think it could be late 60's early 70's or 93 if first part of the serial no is the year. Has motif on the crown so should be original





and does anyone know what it might be worth

Can't help with values I'm afraid, but there's a case and funky looking bracelet on ebay at the moment

thanks for link, looks like it was primarily for Italian market.

I have just taken the back off

and the crown


sorry they are all iphone pictures

I quite like it and am open to any suggestions for what strap might be best, I am thinking a nice Brown or Tan Leather

V.v. good pedigree - I believe they are from same stable as Zenith/Movado.

Whatever you do, don't take the back off :lol:
