Beaufort PulsatimervsMonta Noble

The Beaufort Pulsatimer is praised for its solid manual-wind Sellita SW510M BH b movement and remarkable value, with one reviewer noting a 63-hour power reserve. Its 39mm case features dynamic, layered finishes and piston-style pushers, blending vintage dressiness with a robust chronograph design. Some find the optional beads-of-rice bracelet too much for its aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Beaufort Pulsatimer highly for its unique design and strong value proposition.

The Monta Noble is widely praised for its slim 9.7mm case, excellent finishing comparable to higher-end brands, and highly adjustable bracelet. Owners note its versatility and accuracy, with one reporting +2 sec/day. The well-executed date at six is also a positive point. However, some find the dial proportions off with small indices and too much open space, and the polished bezel a scratch magnet. There are mixed opinions on the clasp, with some finding it fiddly and others praising its adjustability. The crown action is described by one owner as mediocre, and a visible gasket is noted. The Monta Noble is priced at $1,600-$1,795 and features a Sellita SW300-based M-22 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Noble highly for its slim profile and exceptional finishing at its price point.
