Description

Here we have a 2023 Monta Skyquest GMT Black Dial "Coke" Bezel, released in 2018, with a 40mm brushed and polished stainless steel case, a polished bevel edge that leads the eye to the tapered lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling for extra grip, protected by short crown guards; a rotating bezel has deep knurling for grip, with a 24-hour black-and-red “Coke” ceramic insert, and holds the bevel-edged flat sapphire crystal, AR-coated on the inside, above a stunning black dial. A minute track surrounds the applied, polished Rhodium-plated indexes filled with Super-Luminova BGW9 marking the hours, with a framed date window at 6 o'clock. Elegant diamond-cut, Rhodium-plated hands filled with the same Super-LumiNova are complemented by a tapered, sweeping second hand and a red GMT hand with a helpful curve that allows it to skirt above the indexes. At noon, we have the Monta motif, and at 6 o'clock, the “1000ft-300m” red “Skyquest” completes this striking sports traveller's watch. On the reverse, a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back features the watch details engraved around its edge and houses an automatic Monta Cal. M-23, 21, or 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour; this quality movement is based on either the ETA 2893-2 or Sellita SW330-1 and includes hacking, hand-winding, and a quick-set date for your convenience. The watch comes with its original 20mm Monta polished-and-brushed stainless steel bracelet, a signed safety deployant clasp, and a three-slot quick micro-adjustment; all links are included, along with the original Monta presentation box and paperwork.

Points of Mention

This watch is sold with its original Monta box and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm Monta brushed stainless steel bracelet with a signed safety deployant clasp and micro-adjustment; all links are provided. The watch is from December 2023 and is in worn condition but very fair, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-months Warranty.

Personal Note

I've been fortunate enough to have sold this particular Monta Skyquest a few times over the years, but somehow this is the first time one has actually made it onto the website. And if previous experience is anything to go by, I don't think it'll be sticking around for long. Monta is one of those brands that genuinely punches well above its price point. The case finishing, dial execution and especially the bracelet are all exceptional, with a level of attention to detail you'd normally expect from watches costing considerably more. For me, this is one of the best-value GMT watches out there. Fantastic proportions, superb build quality and a classic design that's incredibly easy to live with. A seriously impressive watch for the money. Snap it up and add it to your collection today!
