MONTBLANC

The 1858 Monopusher Chronograph Limited Edition is one of Montblanc’s technical pillars. In this new version, Montblanc reinterprets a historical Minerva chronograph with its calibre 13.20 from the 1930s. Like the original timepiece, the 1858 Monopusher Chronograph features a black dial with a beige-coloured railway track, as well as two counters at 3 and 9 o’clock.

Matching the overall vintage design, other details include a telemeter scale; beige-coloured Super-LumiNova numerals; and rose gold-coated, cathedral-shaped hands that are also highlighted with a touch of beige-coloured Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility. In the spirit of mountain exploration, the watch comes in a 42mm case made of a special alloy of bronze that will evolve over time and form a patina. The design is completed with a special engraving of “Spirit of Mountain Exploration” on the case-back. Powered by the calibre MB.25.12, it indicates elapsed time with a central second hand and a 30-minute counter. The start, stop and reset functions can be activated through a single pusher integrated into the crown. The timepiece is available with a new matching beige-coloured NATO strap, made by a 150-year-old strap manufacturer in France.
