Today, George Bamford has modernized Monaco. This model still retains all the features of Monaco, including the 39 mm square surface and the crown on the left. The case is made of ultra-lightweight and extremely durable carbon fiber, which is the ideal material for watchmaking. BAMFORD’s signature style can be seen at a glance from the chronograph dial and date window with the luminous mark, using the blue tone preferred by BAMFORD Watch Department, which is the charming aqua blue color. This detail makes the watch look modern and full of fashion breath. To commemorate the cooperation between the two parties, the face plate and case cover are engraved with ‘Monaco Bamford’. The watch is complemented by a beautiful black alligator leather strap.
