Momentos is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin *momentum* (neuter in Latin), but Portuguese reassigned it to the masculine gender following the productive masculine ending pattern of words ending in -o. This follows the general Romance language pattern where Latin neuter nouns were largely absorbed into the masculine gender as languages evolved.
