Reminiscent of glaciers, the Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph watch comes with a blue aesthetic combined with a new bi-directional steel bezel that has been enhanced with shiny blue ceramic and the four engraved luminescent cardinal points.
The timepiece has been inspired by an original Minerva monopusher chronograph from the 1930s. It showcases this vintage style with a blue smoked dial, cathedral-shaped hands, bi- compax counters at three and nine o’clock and a domed sapphire crystal.
The 42 mm stainless steel case features both polished and satin finishes and has been engraved with the emblematic Mont Blanc mountain, a compass, and two crossed ice pick-axes, as a nod to the Spirit of Mountain Exploration.
To complete the overall design, the Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph is equipped with a blue Sfumato calf leather strap from the Pelletteria, in Florence, Italy and is water resistant to 100 meters. A choice of hand-crafted “NATO” straps are also available as an accessory that can be purchased in Montblanc boutiques or via the brand’s e-shop.
