Monarch Chrono
Watch
An octagonal watch with an exposed-screw bezel and three sub-dials, on a rubber strap. Five colourways.
Water resistant to 3 metres, with a scratch-resistant crystal.
Sports-watch language, worn in colour
An octagonal case with screws at the bezel is borrowed straight from the sports-watch world, and it usually arrives in steel and grey. Here it comes in orange, lime and turquoise instead, which turns a serious shape into something that is clearly having a good time.
Photographed in orange. Five colourways are offered.
Octagonal case, screws and stones at the bezel
The case is octagonal at roughly 40 mm, with visible screws set into an eight-sided bezel that also carries a line of small stones. The dial has three sub-dials and the colour runs from the dial through to the strap.
The strap is a soft rubber with a pin buckle, cut wide to match the case and integrated straight into it rather than hanging off conventional lugs.
It carries water resistance to 3 metres, a scratch-resistant crystal and a 23 cm strap.
How it wears
- An octagonal case at roughly 40 mm — deliberately large
- Screws at the bezel give the case a technical edge
- Rubber flexes and needs no sizing
- Colour carries from the dial through to the strap
- Reads sporty and loud rather than dressed
The product
Water resistance to 3 metres, a scratch-resistant crystal over the dial, and a 23 cm strap. Three metres covers rain, a splash and hand-washing. The case looks like a dive watch; the rating is not one.
Five colourways
Listed at checkout as White Blue, Orange, Red, Turquoise and Volt. The octagonal case and strap are shared; the colour is what changes.
Why it costs what it costs
An octagonal case is machined on eight faces rather than turned on one, and the bezel screws have to line up with the case or the whole thing looks wrong. Setting stones between them is a third operation.
We sell direct. There is no shop floor between this watch and you and no distributor taking a cut on the way, so the retail margin that normally sits on top of a piece like this is simply not in the price.
- Sold direct — no retail margin stacked on the watch
- Octagonal case machined on eight faces
- Exposed screws and a stone line at the bezel
- Three-sub-dial face rather than a plain printed dial

1 × watch · 1 × gift box · 1 × protective cushion
Are the sub-dials a working chronograph?
No. They are a dial design rather than a working chronograph.
Is it a dive watch?
No. It borrows the look, but the water rating is 3 metres — rain and hand-washing only.
How big is the case?
Roughly 40 mm.
How is it sized?
A pin buckle with holes along the strap. Nothing to remove and no tools needed.
Does it come in a box?
Yes — a gift box with a protective cushion.
How should it be cleaned?
A damp cloth on the strap and a dry one on the case, worked around the bezel screws.
Five colourways, and not many of each
Colour runs are made in batches rather than carried continuously. The volt green and the turquoise are usually the first to go.
Pick your colourway above and add it to the bag. If it is not right on your wrist, send it back.
