Montine vintage: a yellow gold-plated dual time zone watch with a black dial
This Montine vintage watch is an original dual time zone piece, with a round gold-plated case and a deep black dial animated by two silver-tone counters. A discreet brand founded in 1971 and originally made in the Swiss Jura for the duty-free market, Montine made these distinctive “dual time” watches its specialty. In a versatile size, it can be worn equally well on a man’s or a woman’s wrist. A singular piece, ideal for travelers and lovers of atypical watches.
The lacquered black dial showcases two guilloché silver-tone subdials: one with Roman numerals, the other with Arabic numerals, each with its own gold-tone hands. This dual-display layout makes it possible to read two time zones simultaneously — that of one’s home country and that of one’s destination. The “Montine” and “Quartz” signatures complete this graphic and elegant dial, with its beautiful black-and-gold contrast.
This Montine is powered by a dual quartz movement: two independent movements, adjustable separately thanks to two crowns, each drive one of the dials. Reliable and precise, they run on battery power. An ingenious arrangement, designed for travel, which was part of the charm of these watches in an era when the mobile phone did not yet exist.
With its 32mm case with a slim profile (6.7mm) and its round gold-plated shape with “bull-horn” lugs, this vintage watch offers an elegant and versatile size on the wrist of a man or a woman — a true Unisex watch. The dial, hands, and mineral Crystal are in excellent condition (9/10). It comes on its original lizard-style strap, with its original Buckle.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Montine brand?
Montine is a discreet watchmaking brand founded in 1971, whose watches were originally made in the Swiss Jura, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, mainly for the duty-free market. Discreet yet carefully crafted, it became notable in particular for its dual time zone watches, now sought after by enthusiasts of unusual pieces.
How does the dual time zone work?
The watch has two distinct dials, each driven by its own quartz movement and adjustable thanks to its own crown. It can thus display two different times simultaneously — for example, that of one’s home country and that of one’s destination. It is a practical and elegant complication, highly appreciated by travelers.
Is the case solid gold?
No. It is a gold-plated case on a steel base, with a brushed caseback. This dressy finish offers the brilliance of gold with the robustness of steel, and contributes to the chic character of this vintage watch.
Is this watch accurate?
Yes. Its two quartz movements ensure good everyday accuracy. Each dial operates independently, with its own battery; on a vintage piece, simple servicing is enough to preserve optimal operation of both displays.
Is this watch suitable for a man or a woman?
It is a Unisex watch. Its 32mm round case is equally suitable for a masculine or feminine wrist. Its black two-counter dial and dressy format make it an original and elegant watch for any occasion.

The accuracy of vintage watches varies according to the model, movement, and year of production. A request for accuracy improvement deemed within acceptable tolerances cannot be covered by the warranty.
