A new expression of sustainable design, in the Colour of the Year 2026
Classic. Minimalist. Eco-conscious. Reimagined in a colour of change.
Inspired by renewal and change, MONDAINE introduces the essence Quartz Limited Edition in Transformative Teal, the Colour of the Year 2026. With only 300 numbered pieces available, this exclusive release brings new energy to the essence collection, pairing iconic Swiss design with a contemporary blue-green tone that symbolizes evolution, confidence, and an Earth-first mindset.
Minimalist Design with a Transformative Twist
The essence Quartz remains true to MONDAINE’s signature design language, defined by clarity, balance, and timeless simplicity. Inspired by the original 1944 Swiss Railways Station Clock, the dial ensures readability with bold hands and the iconic red second hand providing a distinctive visual rhythm.
This limited edition introduces a refined yet expressive colour execution. A Transformative Teal dial is combined with a contrasting black inner ring, creating depth and visual structure while reinforcing the collection’s minimalist identity. Paired with a white case and matching strap, the overall composition enhances contrast and legibility while delivering a fresh and contemporary aesthetic.
The Colour of Change
Transformative Teal is a fluid fusion of blue and aquatic green, inspired by the diversity of natural landscapes and reflecting a shift towards more conscious design. It represents adaptability and forward-thinking, appealing to a new generation that values design with purpose.
With this limited edition, MONDAINE translates a global colour direction into a wearable design object, reinforcing its commitment to innovation while staying rooted in sustainability.
Limited Edition Craftsmanship Meets Sustainable Innovation
Produced in a limited run of 300 pieces, each watch is individually numbered, emphasizing its exclusivity and collectible appeal. At its core, the essence collection stands for responsible design. The case is crafted from a castor oil-based compound, offering a lightweight and durable alternative to conventional materials while reducing environmental impact.
The watch is Swiss Made and powered by a Swiss quartz movement (Ronda 513), ensuring reliable and precise timekeeping. A hardened mineral crystal protects the dial, while the strap is made of castor oil compound, featuring the signature “M” pattern on the backside, offers both comfort and durability. Equipped with a quick-release system, the strap allows for effortless changes without the need for tools.
A Contemporary Icon for Everyday Wear
The essence Quartz Limited Edition combines a classic design with a lightweight functional build. Its balanced proportions and sustainable materials make it ideal for daily wear, while the distinctive blue-green tone introduces a fresh presence on the wrist.
Designed to be read at a glance and worn with intent, it brings clarity, character, and purpose to everyday timekeeping.
