This is the Ecofriendly option for Mondaine - what this means is the watch is made of renewable materials and you get a storage pouch made of recycled plastics instead of the traditional presentation box.
Rather than the metal casing you're getting what I think is a fibreglass case with a matte black finish, and the same on the buckle. Its lighter than the metal and I was a bit worried it might feel 'cheap' in the hand, but now that it's arrived I think it looks and feels like a solid alternative. I like it.
I have mixed feelings about the rubber strap. It looks great on the eye out of the box matched with the white dial and black case. It's thick and not too flexible, with some tight and awkward design on the 2 keepers its actually quite hard to put it on properly. I don't know how the rubber will hold up and I can't find any of these replacement straps online either, so when it needs replacing I'll be going for either a decent black leather or a better silicone strap. I can live with it for now though. It does attract dust and scuffs so does need a wipe down every now and then.
Overall a reasonable price for a great design!
