No Mercedes hand, no cyclops lens, date at 6, with only two lines of text above the 6. And it has a ceramic bezel, solid movement, 300m of WR, and more consistent geometric markers on the lacquered dial. They fixed the submariner and are selling it for 1/5 of the price.

Well done.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this video. I should be picking up my Oceanking in the next week or two

Much more value for money than at Rolex Submariner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[MrZanzibar]

Supernice, less is more, elegant simplicity. Basically a Rollie for those who don't want to drop the dough (or wait forever, or while waiting, or whatever). Just a killer GADA watch, refined, super-comfortable, with outstanding customer service. If you don't want to play >2k, just wait; these will come up used for less in the months and years ahead...

That’s a very good looking watch. I really like Monta, and it’s a nice size too. The SW300 is a solid movement.

[michaeledwardlenzi]

The design is very Submariner. It is almost Ginault-like. I wonder why they didn't keep going their own way. I still like their attention to detail though. Very well made.

[rustydog]

For myself, I'm glad to see they got rid of the weird-font slanted 5s from the last version. This looks all together more cohesive.

[Kananond]

Ginault Silent Service looks much better IMO, i think the indices are much more balanced in the SS and maybe better implemented AR.

Rolex prices have become vulgar. There are far better ways for me to use my money. This Monta is what I’ll be getting next. Good review. Thanks.

Beautiful watch, I really like my Monta Atlas. The quality is fantastic.

[BradyPuryear]

Thanks for doing this review. Just pull the trigger yesterday after considering it vs the Seiko SPB383 and this helped me go with the Monta.

[TaylorCFP]

It’s an amazing watch, and I’d be a buyer if I didn’t already have a current-gen Sub Date. It’s just too similar and in some ways I like the Monta better, (including a date while still maintaining symmetry 👍) but I prefer the sharper lines of the Submariner. I think this is a great watch for those who don’t quite have the budget for a Sub. Similar enough to give you the same vibe, but without completely being a homage and making you feel like you’re wearing a replica.

I owned the version 2, had few issues with it, the numerals on the bezel would get dirty, and was really hard to clean, just looked off, and the clasp was too straight across, both of these issues are fixed on this one. I have heard criticism of the "sub issue" on this, but to me it is not a homage, and I must say, this is one of the most handsome divers on the market

[watchchimp]

The Monta has always been a very solid watch. This V3 looks like they're finding their own style and niche.
This watch really resonates with me as a nearly perfect example of a Mil spec. Sub.! I prefer those indicies to the round dots of a Rolex.
To me they've just about nailed the watch design/quality Vs. Price/value relationship.
This has jumped on to my most desirable/ hit list! Possibly displacing a Christopher Ward.😮
I just wish the bezel was fully lumed! 😢

[the.Aruarian]

Honestly, with a well-executed 6 o'clock date window, I don't mind it at all. Much better than a 3 o'clock and cyclops, like a certain model this is going after... I think the only thing I would want to see different in this, would be a lumed date wheel.

[robin]

I love the hands so much, really want to get one.

[parkpy]

Any comments on the length and thickness of the clasp? The six o’clock side of my Atlas did not curve very well against my flat wrist. It’s why I canceled my pre-order until there were more reviews.

[retired_in_portugal]

This is an amazing looking watch with great dimensions, I agree though I'd love to see a no date version.

[allenb]

very impressive watch...I have hard time spending so much these days with a lot of awesome lower cost options...San Martin SN0111T comes to mind...very similar size but made with Grade 5 Titanium...

[GeeMood]

Nice, just don't like the sword hands, personal preference. Although, for the money, I'd probably get the new Blue dial Longines Hydroconquest GMT.
