The Watch
Here we have a 2023 Monta Noble Mint Lacquer Limited Edition of 150 pieces inspired by the stylish Italian scooters and small cars of the 1960s, with a 38.5mm brushed and polished stainless steel case, a polished bevel edge leads the eye to the tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 10mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling for extra grip, a mirror-polished smooth bezel holds the bevel-edged flat sapphire crystal AR coated with 7 layers on the inside above a stunning Mint lacquer dial that has a unique tone. A mint-coloured outer rehaut holds the applied polished Rhodium-plated indexes filled with Super-Luminova BGW9 marking the hours, at 6 o’clock a framed date window. Elegant diamond-cut Rhodium-plated hands infilled with the same Super-LumiNova are complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At noon we have the Monta motif and “Self-Winding” “500ft-150m” at 6 o’clock completes this striking sports watch. On the reverse a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back with the details of the watch engraved around its edge, inside an automatic Monta Cal. M-22, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this quality movement is based on either the ETA 2892-2 or Sellita SW300 and has hacking and hand winding for your convenience. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm brushed stainless steel bracelet with a signed safety deployant clasp and three-slot quick micro-adjustment, all links are provided, and this watch is sold with its original Monta presentation box and paperwork.
Personal Note
This Monta Noble featuring the Mint Lacquer dial in 38.5mm won't be for everyone, but I bet if you are not a fan, as soon as you put it on your wrist it will still put a smile on your face! This dial colour is mesmerising and the lacquered finish really adds a layer we rarely see in modern watches any more. The fit and feel are undeniable, this will come as no surprise to anyone who has handled a Monta before, they really are producing some of the best-built watches in this price range.
