A GMT that wears like a dress watch
By Rafael Ortiz, Mexico City ยท
The Monta Atlas is 38.5 mm and 10.7 mm thick, a GMT that could pass for a dress watch under a cuff. The dial is a lacquered blue with applied indices, red GMT tip, and a 24-hour scale on the rehaut rather than the bezel.
The M-23 movement gives you 56 hours, and the GMT hand points to home time on the inner scale. The bracelet is excellent, with a quick-adjust clasp that I use all the time when I travel and my wrist swells on long flights.
The scale is the limitation. A 24-hour track on the rehaut is cleaner but smaller, so reading home time at a glance isn't as easy as with a bezel.
At $2,150 it's one of the nicest-made GMTs under $2,500. If you want travel function without the sports look, look here first.
