In this article
Monta has introduced a pair of limited editions for its tenth anniversary, according to Worn & Wound. The two new watches are variants of the Triumph and the Skyquest. The release is named the Neuchâtel X collection. According to Worn & Wound, the watches pay tribute to Neuchâtel. Both watches are scheduled to make their in-person debut at Windup in New York City today.
Neuchâtel X Collection
Worn & Wound reports that the Neuchâtel X collection is marked by new opaline dials. According to the outlet, the Triumph Neuchâtel X uses the same silvery opaline dial as the Skyquest.
Skyquest Neuchâtel X
Worn & Wound describes the Skyquest Neuchâtel X as using an old-school printed dial layout. The dial applies beige lume to create a vintage effect, according to the outlet. The Monta logo receives custom dial typography that Worn & Wound says had not been seen prior to this collection. The handset is a sword style, and Worn & Wound notes that this hand style is popular with collectors of vintage sports watches. The watch measures 40.7mm in diameter and 11.8mm in thickness. Its bezel is a red and blue 24-hour design. Worn & Wound reports that this bezel allows the wearer to track a third time zone. For broader context on GMT watches, see our GMT Watch Buying Guide. Inside the Skyquest Neuchâtel X is Monta Caliber M-23. Worn & Wound identifies this caliber as a rebadged Sellita SW330 caller-style GMT. The case is rated to 300 meters of water resistance.
Triumph Neuchâtel X
The Triumph Neuchâtel X uses a dial layout with beige lume at the hour markers, according to Worn & Wound. Those hour markers include oversized 9 and 3 Arabic numerals. Painted black lacquer applications frame the lume plots. The hands have a “wet-black” painted finish.
