Man! I’ve got such a thing for monta! The atlas is really gorgeous!
I have a Monta Noble and I agree that Monta is incredible. These really need to be seen in person to appreciate the details.
I've owned a Monta Triumph for years. Simply outstanding piece! Best bracelet I've ever owned. I think their prices are a bit high.
Love Monta and this model, however I have a Squale GMT (Sellita) and it’s never missed a beat. Also 1000 bucks cheaper. Great episode ❤🏴
Love my Squale GMT
I NEED👹 a Squale for my collection.. Love their designs..plus everyone says they're really well made..gotta gets me one!
Picked up a Monta Triumph in person while driving thru St Louis last summer (Monta Hq is located there).
Got to see and handle the entire line up and they are all excellent watches. Fit and finish is outstanding. The bracelet is seriously better than other more expensive brands in my collection. Added bonus, their movements are regulated to +/- 5spd. Mine is running 2 spd. Monta isn’t cheap, but compares favorably to watches at higher price points.
This is such a good option Jor. You can truly tell how good a watch is not just from the case but the CLASP. Clutch here. Monta is killing it
It looks well made, and the modest size and lack of bezel might make it a more versatile travel piece.
If it was an hour jump movement, I'd probably buy it.
But for now, I think I'd stay waiting for a ETA C07.661 caliber based GMT watch that isn't 44mm like the Mido Ocean Star GMT...
I love how a 7:22 video can get a thumbs down before it's even posted long enough to watch the whole video. Haters need to get a life.
I just recently learned of Monta, I am thoroughly impressed.
Reminds me of the "Steve McQueen" explorer a bit. Cool watch, I like it.
Cheers mate 👍👍
Neat option for a GMT. Very well done. I would be curious to compare it to the Squale GMT mentioned by another commenter.
Thank you for pointing out the biggest con for me: the lug to lug. As someone with baby wrists, I'd like to see a model with shorter lugs. Give me a 36mm with 44m lug to lug 😁
Love da Monta. A first tier micro brand for sure. Liked the tone of the review- - upbeat, balanced and objective. Thank you
Nice watch comment from an algorithm helper. Thanks for a cool watch review Jory
Nice opening MONTAge!
I do love Monta in general, but I can’t get over the use of odd number hour indications on the chapter ring. It’s a little thing, but enough to stop me from considering this model.
Great review T3 do you have any experience with Nivada Gretchen watches?? I been thinking about adding 1 to the collection 🤔 they have some awesome chronographs and there dimensions are the same as the original ones from the 70's and that's always good 👍
Yema wristmaster is looking amazing - You may need to revisit this brand.
I want a Monta skyquest but they get to expensive when shiped over seas.
Thank you for saying 'super dooper'. It always cheers me up.
The functionality of the 2893-2/330 GMT complication is debatable. I think it’s more to capitalize on the GMT trend (which is true of nearly all cheaper caller GMTs right now).
agreed, I have zero use for a quick set 24 hour hand. I wish Monta would modify their movements for a travel GMT
Monday is a good day for the channel.
Wow! This is a beautiful watch and its looks luxurious. The features are great! Worth a try 😊 Thanks for sharing 😊👌
They also have great customer service
Great review. Thanks for reviewing this one.
Confusing is: GMT function." Is this a caller or jumper (for 2grand)?
Love the broadsword hour and the stepped gmt hands 🤩
I love the Monta quality and design, worth every penny. I owned one and only sold it because of the long and very straight clasp, it would stick out in weird ways. But otherwise outstanding
I struggle with the idea of paying more than £1000 for a watch with no history. That’s not to say it’s not a great watch or good value , but at that price £1500 your in Longines territory. So for me , shallow as I am I need pedigree for that expense which I think is why many micros try to be less expensive.
I'm thinking of gifting myself a Monta for my birthday! The debate is which one....I was thinking a Noble (that Opalin Silver dial), but I like... well all of them. Haha. The Atlas kinda does provide a bit of everything (functional, elegant yet sporty styling) which makes it an intriguing choice :)
Hey T3, can you talk about Revue Thommen?
I love the ocean king, its so thin too. They have gone up in price though from when I remember them.
I’ve always wanted one of these. The look great!
Cool watch, hadn't seen it before!
Nice looking watch, really well finished. I have a few Eta powered watches and a couple of Sellitas either of which gives confidencem claiming it for your own with an "M" number is just silly.
And if I'm not mistaken, Monta regulates themselves to +/- 5 seconds which I also really appreciate. I'd be curious to do a side-by-side bracelet comfort / quality with Formex which is the best I've seen in this range by a mile---but have never had a Monta in hand.
Heck yeah, let's goooooo Jory!!
It's Jim Carry b-e-a-utiful!
Would you chose one of these, or a GMT from Christopher Ward? I have seen Cward in person, and they are really well finished. The design is similar to another watch, but looks good.
And cheaper
Aren't ETA movements only found in Swatch group watches?
No.
Rolex OP looks so much better tho.. not to mention the movements.
Monta seems to be squaring up to go against Oris at their own game.
That is a bold title sir
Do a comparison between alba automatic and Seiko 5
The best independent brand IMO and a great value.
Do you think it's worth the extra $$$ over a Christopher Ward Sealander GMT?
Hey guys, what is your opinion on a meteorite-faced pieces? Gem or scam? I still want one, and I'm not even ashamed
Mr. Goodman, thank you for guiding us around the fascinating world of horology and watch collecting!
Nice watch! Good vid. Keep at it!
Lovely watches
It looks like it might have been shooting for Omega and hit Rolex Level.
Monta has a some really nice looking watches but I think they are a bit overpriced.
If the Seiko Lumibright were a guitar solo , it would be the one from Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd .
I'd love to see a 409 stainless watch
Nice review. Nice watch.
Great watch.
Sorry Jory - you lost me at $1950 - you can get a top tier Seiko, Hamilton or a Longines for that - alternatively a nice Sinn if you want something different
Seiko and Hamilton will give you ZERO layers of lume for that price
Or a Aquis.
I got my casio ae1500wh for under $2000
algzz. good video!
Yes sir it is nice, but it is not a Rolex.
I keep telling friends that they don't have to go with the best known brands if they do a little research.
Slick!!!
The worst thing a watch brand can do is not to be crystal clear, honest and straightforward about the origin of its movements. Sorry but this ETA/ Sellita uncertainty is a huge con IMHO. Pls Monta, don't do what Panerai/Tag/Hublot did in the past, not a really good idea.
You mean like Rolex were for decades with their movements, made by Aegler but branded and sold as Rolex.
@@garyboyle695 Exactly! Rolex should also be clear about their hands being Fiedler SA and their crystals Stettler Saphire AG. One brand's mistake does not justify another's.
A lot of watchmakers do this and I while I do not find it explicitly deceptive, it is intentionally ambiguous and I have a problem with ambiguity when it comes to references. Glycine does this (I know, Re: Invicta) with their movement nomenclature without adding a suffice or sub-reference number to indicate a variant. Junghans does use sub-reference numbers for "their" calibers, however, I do not like how fundamentally different movements share the same base caliber name-J880.1 and J880.2 are based on the Valjoux 775x while the J880.3 and J880.4 are based on the ETA 2892 with a Dubois Depraz chronograph module. If the architecture is different, it should get a different reference so I guess I am giving Monta a pass here if they tacked on an alphanumeric suffix to each movement variant.
@@MrJamesDuffy Well, giving nicknames, different suffixes, to movements that are not in-house should be a curbed and condemned commercial practice. A Hamilton H10 should not be called H10 but only ETA C07.611, simply because it is, in fact, an ETA C07.611.
@@juniorgallo8786 Sure, in an ideal world where we can set reasonable standards that all companies should follow, that would be great. However, I think brands DO have the right to rename the movements they use for their own cataloging purposes. I think it only becomes problematic when they are intentionally ambiguous about a caliber's base movement in their sales and marketing message. I think there CAN be some middle ground where naming schemes are at least consistent within a company or across companies using the same base movement. Then again, I am just a guy who buys watches and have no influence on what any big brand decides to do, nor should I.
Nice watch, but a lot more expensive, and no better than my Echo Neutra Averau, other than the GMT function
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA🤣
@@thetimeteller what part was funny?
@@thetimeteller both are Swiss made micro brands. Other than the GMT function, they have fundamentally the same movement. Both have beautifully finished cases. Both have AR coated sapphire crystals. Both are very attractive sports watches. The Echo Neutra has a far better lume. So what justifies one costing nearly three times as much?
They all need to stop claiming there calibers are in house when they are not. Especially at that price.
They seem like another farer in some ways.... Still I need a travel watch so maybe 🤔
This is on a totally different level than Farer. 🤘
I’ve spent similar time with both Farer and Monta watches... Farer doesn’t have bracelets anyway near the same comfort or build quality. Farer doesn’t have case finishing even coming close to this Monta’s.
Perhaps I’ve worn the wrong Farers? 🤣🥴🤫
Man, “do some research” is so overused by people that have no argument whatsoever. 🤣 Just because I’ve come to a different conclusion than yourself doesn’t mean I haven’t done my research, it means we don’t agree- but since you gave me some advice, I’ll return the favor: grow up. 🤣🤘🤫
We all like watches just sometimes not the same ones. It's mostly objective. Agree to disagree you don't have to be righ
Christopher needs to take a nap. Dudes cranky AF. 🤣🤫🤫🤫🤫
A big small watch, a somewhat weird design choice. And the ambiguity around the movement is a bit odd.
Montaaa💯💯
Is it a true GMT?
This is the way that microbrands should introduce their watches. Attention to detail, its own design, and movement outside of the usual suspects. Much like Axios, Zelos,Tuseno, and a few others. Hell, I even dig the logo. All in all a good job..
Right, but the name is terrible.
I think the microbrand world will eventually take over the watch world, thier designs just need to get better and it will happen.
BTW Jory, i didn't know they made a toupee hair system with only a couple MMs of length! 😉
Why you never put a link to the watches featuring on this chanel? But for microfiber cloth there is always.It's so dumb .!.
That bend in the GMT hand makes it look super cheap
Nah, you have to see an OP in person dude.
You mean like this one: ruclips.net/video/UC1RydTT5MU/видео.html
Or perhaps the other 5 Rolexes I own? 🤣👍
Kind of an American Christopher Ward?
Why is everythi ng in the world has to be compare to a Rolex maybe Rolex is Great
What’s GMT I’m asking for a friend
It stands for Greenwich Mean Time and is basically a complication on a watch to keep track of a second time zone, usually 24 hour instead of 12
@@MrValve-fr8hd thank you for explaining that in a language I can understand.
It is pretty nice but doesn’t look better finished or detailed than a modern Christopher Ward which is a lot less costly, and there are bigger brands with more pedigree and similar finish at similar price.
CW? 😂
If you only knew how ridiculous your post is. CW is not even in the same ball park.
Bought the new Noble as a beater every day GADA as to not ruin my explorer or Speedy. Ended up worrying about scratching that the same as my Omega or Rolex.
The fit and finish on my Monta rivals that of Omega or Rolex. CW, 😂. Tudor or Tag cannot even be compared to Monta in the build dept.
another boring watch,have you heared about that gucci grip watch?
Rolex another planet, no comparison.
I own 5 Rolexes- I disagree with your statement.
That sounds like a comparison to me.
I own 2 Rolex and I disagree with your statement
Sure, if you mean location-wise availability of their steel models, Rolex probably really is available exclusively on other planets ;)
Rolex is not at all what dudes make it out to be.
You have to be crazy to buy that for 2k
Looks like an amazing looking watch but, It's attention to detail is nowhere near to Rolex.
And It's specifications doesn't justify it's price unfortunately. Especially for a micro brand.
I like the overall shape of the watch, the bezel, the lug. I have never seen a three link bracelet has fully articulated links like this, good job! However, there are several serious flaws in design and build. The head of the GMT hand looks too wide (so is the hour hand), and why there is a elevation? It might be too low to touch the indices, but it looks like the little yard work shovel. The edge on second hand and hour hand is not at the middle. The font on the dial looks very sloppy. The gap between the 1 and 5 is much wider than the gap between 5 and 0. And don't understand why show these odd numbers on the slope of the dial. Finally, the logo looks weird. All these careless details shout loud a micro brand.
Rolex isn't worth it. Their watches don't hold up to the price they are asking. And thier designs are stuck in the past. And not good past like Longines
Rolex makes a very durable quality watch. It isn’t worth what they charge for it and certainly not worth more than retail people are spending.
For 2 grand you can get a badass Hamilton, Oris, or Rado. And 38 mm?... that's a lady's watch!
Someone sounds angry
