Product Information

Full details

The Mondaine Grand Cushion watch is designed for individuals who appreciate vintage aesthetics, functional chronographs, and sustainable craftsmanship. Its key benefit is the versatile styling offered by interchangeable straps and a timeless cushion-shaped design, suitable for both daily wear and formal occasions. A potential caveat is the 41mm case size, which may be large for those with smaller wrists. This timepiece features a polished stainless-steel case, an integrated date display and chronograph, a durable sapphire crystal, and Swiss quartz movement, all assembled with a commitment to sustainability.

FAQs

What type of movement does the Grand Cushion watch use?

The watch is powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, specifically the Ronda 5030 caliber, which also drives the chronograph and date functions.

How do I change the watch straps?

The watch features an easy strap change system with quick-release spring bars. Simply locate the small lever on the underside of the strap, push it to release the strap, and attach the new one by aligning the spring bar and releasing the lever.

Is the watch suitable for swimming or diving?

The water resistance rating for this specific model should be checked on the product specifications or case back. Typically, watches with leather straps are not recommended for water submersion. Consult the official rating to understand its limitations.

What makes this watch sustainable?

Mondaine is committed to sustainability; this timepiece is assembled using up to 80% solar-generated power and is fully CO₂-neutral. The vegan leather strap is also crafted from by-products of wine production.

How durable is the sapphire crystal?

The double-domed sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and features an anti-reflective coating, offering excellent clarity and protection against everyday wear and tear.

What is included in the 'set'?

The 'set' typically includes the watch with one strap (e.g., leather) and an additional interchangeable strap (e.g., Milanese mesh bracelet) for enhanced versatility.

How do I care for the vegan grape leather strap?

Wipe the vegan grape leather strap with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid soaking it in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

Watch stopped working

The battery may be depleted. Schedule a battery replacement with a qualified watch technician.

Chronograph not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph was fully stopped before attempting to reset. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.

Date not changing correctly

Ensure you are setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. Avoid setting the date when the watch's time is between these hours to prevent movement damage. If the problem continues, consult a watch technician.

Scratches on the crystal

While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, deep impacts can cause damage. Minor scuffs may not be visible under normal light. Significant damage may require professional crystal replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High degree of versatility with two easily interchangeable straps.
  • Durable construction featuring a sapphire crystal and stainless-steel case.
  • Functional chronograph and date display for practical use.
  • Commitment to sustainability in manufacturing and materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  1. Winding: As a quartz watch, there is no manual winding required. The watch is powered by a battery.
  2. Setting Time and Date: Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date. Pull it out to the second position to set the time. Push the crown back in fully when done.
  3. Using the Chronograph: Press the top pusher to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop. Press the bottom pusher to reset the chronograph hands to zero.

Strap Changing:

Locate the quick-release spring bar on the underside of the straps. Gently push the lever towards the strap to release it from the lug. Align the new strap's spring bar with the lug holes and release the lever to secure it.

Compatibility:

This watch is designed to fit wrists suitable for a 41mm case diameter. The interchangeable strap system is proprietary to this model, ensuring a secure fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the straps, use a damp cloth for the vegan leather and a dry cloth for the mesh bracelet. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: Refer to the specific water resistance rating for this model (typically indicated on the case back). Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its stated rating, especially the leather strap.
  • Battery Replacement: When the second hand starts to jump in two-second intervals, the battery needs replacement. This should be performed by a qualified watch technician to avoid damaging the movement or seals.
