The MONTA Skyquest is a refined Swiss-made GMT sports watch that combines serious travel functionality, impressive water resistance, and the exceptional finishing and bracelet design for which MONTA has become known. This configuration features a matte black dial paired with a blue and red “Pepsi” aluminum 24-hour bezel, creating a classic GMT aesthetic with a distinctly modern execution.
This pre-owned example features a warranty card dated 2025 and combines the versatility of a GMT complication with the rugged capability of a 300-meter sports watch.
The Skyquest is built around a beautifully finished 40.7mm 316L stainless steel case measuring just 11.8mm thick and 47.4mm lug-to-lug. These proportions give the watch substantial wrist presence while remaining impressively slim and comfortable for a GMT with 300 meters of water resistance.
The matte black dial features applied hour markers with full rhodium surrounds filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9. Rhodium-plated, diamond-cut sword hands provide excellent legibility, while red dial accents complement the sporty character of the blue and red bezel.
The defining visual feature is the two-tone blue and red aluminum 24-hour bezel. Its classic “Pepsi” color combination provides an immediately recognizable GMT aesthetic, while the aluminum insert contributes a warmer and more traditional appearance than modern ceramic alternatives.
Powering the Skyquest is the Swiss-made MONTA Caliber M-23, a self-winding mechanical GMT movement manufactured, assembled, and tested in Switzerland. The movement provides approximately 56 hours of power reserve and can be viewed through the sapphire exhibition caseback.
