French Retro Chic: Vintage Mortima Mayerling 21 Jewels

This Mortima Mayerling is a stylish French survivor from the 1970s. Mortima, owned by Cattin & Cie, was a powerhouse of French watchmaking that specialized in affordable, bold designs before the quartz crisis.

Capture the bold spirit of 1970s French watchmaking with this Mortima Mayerling. Produced by Cattin & Cie in Morteau, France, this watch features a striking "Stadium" dial with a deep blue-to-black gradient and a distinctive white-striped chapter ring.

​High-Jewel French Movement

While many Mortima watches used the standard 17-jewel Cattin movements, this Mayerling features a higher-grade 21-jewel mechanical hand-wind caliber. This was a premium offering from the brand, ensuring a more robust and reliable performance for the era.
