Very good, slightly too polite

Monta's everyday model is extremely competent. Black dial, applied indices, date, bracelet, 40 mm, 10.5 mm, 200 m. Everything is well proportioned and nicely finished. The trouble is it has the design personality of a well-run hotel: tasteful, comfortable, forgettable. The applied indices are neatly cut and the hands meet them cleanly, and I'll admit there is a lot to be said for a watch you never have to think about. 1,895 dollars is fair. I'd still buy the Triumph, which at least has some numerals to talk about.
