Celesti Monarch Nero

The Monarch Nero features a graphite dial with Roman numerals—darker than the Stellar, lighter than the Onyx.

Dial

Graphite instead of black. The difference is subtle, but in daylight, the dial is clearly a shade of gray, not a uniform black. The Roman numeral indices retain the legibility that the solid black dial lacks.

Square 38 mm case

A square instead of a circle — that is the basic difference between the Monarch and the rest of the range. At 38 mm across and 12 mm thick it slides under a cuff without resistance, and the flat, angular shape sits more quietly on the wrist than a round case of the same size. The bracelet adjusts from 14.5 to 22 cm, so it fits both slim and broader wrists.

Seiko movement, no battery

A Japanese Seiko automatic, wound by the motion of your hand. There is no battery to replace — it runs for as long as you wear it. Left unworn it stops; wind it with the crown or give it a shake.
