The Ming 37.07 Monolith is a black-finished variant of the 37.07 Mosaic, announced in October 2023. Its defining change is the case treatment: black DLC-coated, bead-blasted steel replaces the Mosaic’s polished stainless-steel look, giving the same design a more subdued, monochrome presence. The launch-era specifications list a 38 mm case, a hand-wound movement and a 250-piece production run.
What is the Ming 37.07 Monolith?
Ming introduced the 37.07 Monolith in October 2023 as a variation on the 37.07 Mosaic. The watch retains the layered dial concept but changes the case and crown to 316L stainless steel with black DLC coating and a brushed-blasted finish. Against the earlier Mosaic’s polished steel, the dark finish shifts the visual emphasis toward the dial’s gradients and textures.
That comparison is about the finish and overall appearance. The launch article does not establish a full specification or price comparison with the Mosaic.
How is the Monolith’s dial constructed?
The dial uses two elements: a circular-brushed metal base with printed and luminous details, and an overlaid sapphire dial with printed surfaces and a black gradient motif. Dark gray Super-LumiNova is applied to the brass base dial. The layered construction gives the dial depth while keeping its printed pattern visible through the sapphire.

- Compact 36mm Field Watch: The Militado ML14 uses a balanced 36mm case, 45mm lug-to-lug length, and 9.9mm thickness for a compact wrist fit. The clean dial layout, fixed bezel, and nylon strap make it easy to wear for daily use, travel, and outdoor casual settings
- VH31 Sweep Second Movement: Powered by a Japan VH31 quartz movement without calendar, this men’s field watch offers reliable battery-powered accuracy with a smooth sweep-style second hand. It keeps the dial clean and simple while giving the watch a mechanical-inspired visual feel
- Crystal Options for Different Needs: Choose Bubble Sapphire Crystal for stronger scratch resistance, or K1 Glass with high clear AR coating for a clean view and classic domed look. Both versions are designed to improve dial readability while keeping the vintage-style field watch profile
- Stainless Steel Case and 100M Water Resistance: The 316L stainless steel case, screw-down crown, and screw-down case back support everyday durability. With 10Bar water resistance, the ML14 is suitable for hand washing, rain, daily wear, and general outdoor use. Not recommended for hot water or diving
- 18mm Nylon Strap Version: This ML14 V2 version uses an 18mm lug width and comes with a matching nylon strap. The black dial versions use a black strap, while the blue dial versions use a blue strap. Please check the lug width before replacing the strap or comparing it with earlier 20mm versions
A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides covers the dial. The caseback also has a domed sapphire display crystal.

What did the 37.07 Monolith cost at launch?
Fratello reported a limited run of 250 pieces and a launch price of CHF 3,500. Preorders were announced for October 12, 2023, with deliveries planned to begin in November 2023. Those dates and the price describe the original launch, not current availability or today’s market value.
Does a 20 mm strap fit?
The supplied Jean Rousseau calf-leather strap is 20 mm wide, so 20 mm is the grounded starting point when searching for a replacement strap. Width alone does not confirm that any particular third-party strap will fit: attachment geometry and buckle compatibility also matter.
