Mondaine Chrono Sport

[ST270]

I have much want for one of these but a lot of reviews / opinions like the clean uncluttered lines of the original design. Do the chrono features and additional buttons detract from this? The size would be around 42mm so it's not small and larger than the original examples.

A Mondaine (for me) should look like the Swiss railways clock - or what's the point?

One of the guys in the jewelers that I use has the first one on today and it looked quite cool in a simple way, looks chunkier than I imagined. Don't think the chrono suits the brand and it almost looks a bit hublotesque. Go for the original style of the 2

I'm not a fan of the chrono, it just doesn't look right. The top one you've posted looks great though.

I've got a stop 2 go and love it

Agreed, the original is far better balanced.
The chrono… exposed screw heads is just trying way too hard!

Get the original, in white, or what's the point?

Original looks much better. The thick hands and markers don't leave enough space for the chrono sub dials IMO
