Montblanc’s “1858” range reimagines the references developed by storied watchmakers, Minerva, in the early 20th century – the Swiss outfit made its name handcrafting timepieces capable of timing to one-hundredth-of-a-second precision.
The first-ever sports diving watch for Montblanc, the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date features a glacier pattern dial that gives the impression of looking into the depths of a glacier. This black glacial pattern dial is inspired by the Mer de Glace – Sea of Ice – the main glacier of the Mont-Blanc Massif. Its texture was achieved using an almost-forgotten ancestral technique called gratté-boisé. The timepiece comes with a unidirectional bi-colour ceramic bezel, an engraved case back, and an interchangeable black rubber strap with fine adjustment system. The bezel features colour-matching ceramic inserts with white Arabic numerals and markings, and a detailed 15-minute scale. The dot at 12 o’clock has Super-LumiNova, that glows in a luminescent shade in low light. The timepiece conforms to the ISO 6425 norm for diving watches and is water-resistant to 300 meters.
The Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea with automatic date is available in 3 different dial colours – blue, green and black – representing different shades of glacial ice. Blue ice can be found in the Mont Blanc Iced Sea and is formed when there are air bubbles in it. Green ice is found in Antarctica and is the result of the presence of microscopic snow algae. Black ice appears when it contains no air bubbles, allowing it to absorb enough light to look black. It can also turn black due to deposits of volcanic ash in its structure, a phenomenon that can occur in polar regions.
