The last and the best is the Montblanc Heritage Manufacture Pulsograph, which I believe is the most successful vintage-inspired Bi-Compax chronograph model I have seen in recent years. A 40mm diameter, extremely stylish and minimalistic stainless-steel case, a breathtakingly beautiful salmon dial, pulsometer scale positioned around the dial, all blue accents on the dial… İt’s hard not to get excited even when writing about it.
