Skyquest

The Monta Skyquest brings a rotating 24-hour bezel and an independently adjustable GMT hand to a sports watch with unusually attentive bracelet finishing. Its two main generations share that practical brief, but the dial architecture gives each a distinct character.

The original Skyquest V1 is the more layered design, with an additional 24-hour scale around the dial and a distinctive bent GMT hand that clears the raised hour markers. That combination gives the face considerable depth—and plenty to read. The Skyquest V2 simplifies the arrangement, dropping the inner 24-hour scale and revising the GMT hand for a cleaner presentation. These are meaningful visual changes, not merely different bezel colors.

Across the family, brushed surfaces, polished accents, and an articulated steel bracelet reflect Monta’s attention to the parts you actually touch. The GMT operation is worth understanding: the additional hand adjusts independently, rather than the local-hour hand jumping in one-hour steps. The rotating bezel adds another way to track time elsewhere without disturbing the main display.
