Monta Noble

The Monta Noble is widely praised for its slim 9.7mm case, excellent finishing comparable to higher-end brands, and highly adjustable bracelet. Owners note its versatility and accuracy, with one reporting +2 sec/day. The well-executed date at six is also a positive point. However, some find the dial proportions off with small indices and too much open space, and the polished bezel a scratch magnet. There are mixed opinions on the clasp, with some finding it fiddly and others praising its adjustability. The crown action is described by one owner as mediocre, and a visible gasket is noted. The Monta Noble is priced at $1,600-$1,795 and features a Sellita SW300-based M-22 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Noble highly for its slim profile and exceptional finishing at its price point.
