Monro Luna Collection - One System, Lots Of Planets, And One Meteorite
With the Luna Adventure collection Munro have create a watch that has sparked the interest of many watch enthusiast. It is unapologetically cosmic, built around aventurine “outer space” rings, wild dial materials, and Monro’s LUMECORE inner capsule concept. Yet, underneath the theatrics, it is also a genuinely wearable time peice with sensible sizing and a solid movement choice. We love it and here’s why!
The watch from outer space, made from stardust
The Luna Adventure range is built around a shared core, then each model swaps in a different “space rock” personality. There are 11 options to choose from, but the headline options are:
Meteorite Dial (MLA-MEB): meteorite centre with an aventurine outer ring.
Planet Pearl (MLA-PPR): mother of pearl with a gradient fumé finish, again framed by aventurine.
Planet Tiger’s Eye (MLA-PTR): Tiger’s Eye stone with a gradient effect, also paired with aventurine.
Point of No Return (MLA-PNR): the darker, stealthy one with a black DLC case and a more “mission-ready” vibe.
This is the bit I like most. Monro has not just released “the same watch in blue, green, and regrettable salmon”. They have built a proper theme and committed to it.

Monro’s big technical talking point is LUMECORE, described on the product pages as an inner case capsule using Swiss Super-LumiNova Grade X2, with Grade X2 also on indexes and hands.
If you are the sort of person who charges lume “just to check” and then loses 12 minutes of your life staring at your wrist in a dark room, you already know what is about to happen here.
Monro’s pre-order bundle also mentions:
A complimentary fully luminous quick release vented strap with every model
A pocket sized UV torch in every box
Expected delivery: May 2026
Movement: Miyota 9039, because drama is best kept on the dial

All four models we have referenced are built around the Miyota 9039 automatic.
Monro list key specs including:
Approximately 42 hours power reserve
28,800 per hour vibration frequency
24 jewels
They also talk about bespoke finishing on the movement, which is a nice touch in a collection that is already very front-of-house.
Final thoughts
As a collection, the Luna Adventure range hits a nice balance. It is bold enough to feel different, but grounded enough in sizing and specs that it still works as an everyday watch rather than a weekend costume.
Pricing, and the dangerous bit where you start justifying it to yourself
From the Monro website, there are 11 options that are priced surprisingly affordably. Here are the main standout options:
Planet Pearl (MLA-PPR): £599
Planet Tiger’s Eye (MLA-PTR): £599
Point of No Return (MLA-PNR): £629
Meteorite Dial (MLA-MEB): £799
So If you want the collection’s most distinctive “I will probably never see this on another wrist” choice, the Point of No Return is the one to look at. It is priced a touch above the standard EPDM strap options, and it leans into that darker, more limited feel that collectors tend to regret missing later.
