Monster Automatic Dive Watch has surfaced. The innovative Forged Carbon Monster features a 45mm case crafted from forged carbon, a cutting-edge material that takes carbon fiber to the next level. Ultralight and corrosion-resistant, forged carbon is ultra-strong—but weighs as much as plastic.

Inspired by the Black Beach of northern Minnesota, the Forged Carbon Monster has a uniquely etched and colored case back that features the Great Lakes and arrives in a special edition gift set with a black rubber strap and woven orange nylon strap with a leather backing.

MOVEMENT

AUTOMATIC SW200-1 MOVEMENT

Powered by your movement, this Swiss automatic movement drives the hours, minutes, seconds and calendar aperture function and boasts a 38-hour power reserve. 26 jeweled bearings help reduce friction to maintain accuracy. An iron inner housing protects the movement from magnetic disruption.

CASE

FORGED CARBON CASE

To create the case, carbon fiber is chopped into short pieces and forged by mixing, melding, and molding it with resin under intense heat and pressure. Ultra-light, the forged carbon case possesses three-dimensional strength that traditional carbon fiber sheets can’t achieve.
Rated at 30 ATM and built beyond ISO-6425 specifications, the case also features a stainless steel core, a sandblasted PVD black stainless steel backing and top ring, a screw-down crown, and a unidirectional bezel to keep track of time elapsed under water.

DIAL

IN THE SHADOW OF
THE BLACK BEACH

The Forged Carbon Monster’s unique look takes its cues from the Black Beach of Silver Bay, Minnesota. An industrial past left the beaches as dark as the sandblasted black dial. Applied polished gunmetal indices with blue glow C1 lume fill and cream-tipped hands provide easy legibility in the dark. A diver down flag sits below the twelve o’clock marker, and a calendar aperture sits at three o’clock.

PACKAGING

A DIVER’S TREASURE CHEST

Inspired by tackleboxes and treasure chests, the metal packaging for the Forged Carbon Monster features a metal name plate and contains the watch and fold-out poster with a look inside the story.
