Collector Description
I just added the Monta Triumph to my collection over the weekend. So far, I love everything about this piece. The bracelet is great, the finish/quality seems outstanding and I love the dial. I don’t mean to gravitate towards the micro brands, but the quality of my last two additions, Formex and Monta, have been extremely hard to beat for the price. This Monta checked all the boxes for me and so far I’m thrilled with it.
