Montoir MWMOD-01 Dive Watch
Hitting Kickstarter on October 11, 2023, is the Montoir MWMOD-01 Dive Watch. There truly seems to be no end to new brands emerging, and though some folks might see this as oversaturation, I see it as just more options and choices for everyone. Speaking of choices, the Montoir will be available in 5 dial color options, use the Sellita SW200-1 movement, and be marked Swiss Made. This is a great example of a skin diver-moderately sized, light, very legible, and of course, that iconic case style that is so comfortable on the wrist. The super early bird pricing will be $375 for the first 50 people, and regular KS pricing will be $435, with a retail price of $750. I have a production sample in hand, possibly an early sample, but this is the blue dial, and the owner, Anthony, put it on an orange tropic rubber for a nice pop of color. This new brand is out of Chicago, but as I said, the production pieces will be Swiss Made.
