I’ve had loads of Monsters in the past, in my ongoing hunt for the perfect beater. Old and new versions, bracelet and NATO, but always the black version… until last week, that is, when someone on TZ-UK kindly sold me his orange-dialled beauty. And bloody hell, what a difference!

Somehow, and perhaps because it’s summer, the added splash of colour makes it a really fun watch to wear. The updated hacking/handwinding movement makes it more wearable as well, I think, but for whatever reason I’m really happy I bought it.
