About this entry

89% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening.

Second-generation Skyquest (2022) with aluminum 24-hour bidirectional bezel (the first generation had ceramic). MONTA Caliber M-23, 56h per Monta. Reviewers identify the current base as the Sellita SW330-2 ("caller"/office GMT: the 24-hour hand is set separately from local time); Caliber Corner and older reviews say earlier M-23s could be ETA 2893-2 based, so the base caliber is reviewer-sourced rather than brand-stated. Flat bevelled sapphire with 7 AR layers on the underside; sapphire display caseback; screw-down crown with guards. The first-generation bezel had 72 clicks (Watch Clicker); click count for the current bezel is not stated. Bracelet: three-row Monta bracelet with screwed links, solid end links, two half-links and a milled clasp (Two Broke Watch Snobs); 3-slot quick-adjust clasp with 3mm slot pitch, which Monta says can be adjusted without removing the watch. Links-per-row inferred from the shared Monta bracelet described as three-link on the Oceanking. Weight and taper not published. The Black Dial, Black/Red bezel version (167BK24ALKR; the store calls it "Bi-Color") was sold out ("Coming soon") on 2026-10-20 and 2026-10-21; its page lists the same case, M-23 and specs as the other variants.
