The Watch The Montblanc 1858 Automatic is inspired by vintage mountaineering instruments and the golden age of exploration. Housed in a 40 mm stainless steel and bronze case, this model features a clean, highly legible black dial. Luminous 'cathedral' hands and large Arabic numerals provide both excellent readability and a distinctive retro appearance. The accurate and durable Swiss automatic movement provides approximately 38 hours of power reserve. The watch is water resistant to 100 metres and is on a high-quality brown Montblanc leather strap. The case back shows a deep and detailed engraving of the Mont Blanc mountain, a compass rose and crossed ice picks. Dimensions: 40mm wide, 12mm thick, 49mm lug-to-lug. The Manufacturer Founded on the legacy of Minerva, a Swiss manufacture established in 1858, Montblanc’s watchmaking division embodies a perfect fusion of precision engineering and refined design. The 1858 collection pays tribute to Minerva’s tradition of crafting precision chronographs and professional instruments while reinterpreting those elements through a potent 'Golden Age of Exploration' aesthetic.
