Montblanc brings together its cult model 1858 Geosphere, which brings a brand new and three-dimensional approach to the world clock complication, with a desert-themed color palette.
Among the complications that form the basis of traditional luxury watchmaking, the World Timer function, which stands out with its use in daily life, finds its place in the product groups of many brands from different segments today. In addition to the relatively accessible price scale, the models, which also host artistic presentations that appeal to the eyes of watch enthusiasts, increase the interest in this complication.
This stylish complication, which meets watch enthusiasts once again within the novelties of 2021, appears with the 1858 Geosphere model, one of Montblanc's young classics. The latest addition to the series, limited to 1858 pieces, draws attention with its desert-themed color palette.
The new model comes in a bronze alloy case, which we remember from the previous models of the series. Designed with a diameter of 42mm and a height of 12.8mm, satin and polished surfaces are used together in the case. The case sports a sapphire crystal and a brown ceramic insert bezel on the front, and a stunning case back inspired by Reinhold Messner’s 2004 trek featuring a unique engraving that shows the Gobi Desert’s famous Flaming Cliffs, also known as Bayanzag, that were on Messner’s route across Northern Asia. The case, which will become personalized by getting patina over time according to its user's lifestyle thanks to the bronze alloy, is waterproof up to 100 meters.
The stylish model hosts a gradient brown background dial. The dial, which is identified with the 1858 Geosphere model family by its layout and accents, features a pink gold-tone Super-LumiNOVA phosphor material filled Arabic numeral and short baton indices, cathedral-style hour and minute hands, and a date window placed at 3 o'clock. Colored following the general theme, the southern and northern hemisphere figures are located at 6 and 12 o'clock positions on the dial, as well as the brand's classic logo.
The new model beats with the manufacture Caliber MB 29.25, which we are familiar with from previous versions. 29.25 mechanism in action. The self-winding movement operates at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph) and offers up to 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound.
Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Limited Edition 1858 (Ref.128504) comes on a brown Sfumato calfskin strap with beige stitching. A bronze-coated stainless steel triple-folding clasp secures the strap.
