Inspired by the rich watchmaking history of Minerva, the 1858 collection has been created with today's explorers in mind. Each timepiece strikes a unique balance of tradition and technology.
Through this choice of metal, Montblanc combines traditional Swiss artisanal watchmaking with a genuine material from watchmaking history. For the first time in the watchmaking industry, bronze is coupled with steel and it results in a bi-color, bi-material combination that brings out the best of vintage design. The vintage Montblanc 1858 Automatic Dual Time with its highly recognizable styling features a traditional black dial, cathedral-shaped hands and beige Super-LumiNova Arabic numerals. The timepiece comes in a 44 mm satin-finish stainless steel case with a bronze bezel and crown. Powered by the caliber MB 29.19, this automatic movement features a dual time complication entirely developed and assembled in-house with a home time indication and a day/night display. The timepiece is completed with the authentic Montblanc logo from the 1930s on the dial and a brand new cognac-colored calfskin strap featuring traditional beige stitching just below the lugs and has been treated to give it an aged appearance.
