Montblanc 1858

Montblanc's outdoor and exploration line, and one of its most popular. The 1858 collection draws on Minerva's 1920s and 30s military and professional field and pilot watches (1858 is Minerva's founding year), with vintage cues like cathedral hands and cambered dials, historically in bronze and more recently in Montblanc's '0 Oxygen' cases, which remove the air inside to prevent fogging. The signature is the Geosphere, a worldtimer with two rotating hemisphere globes. Important: this is the accessible-to-mid-range outdoor line, distinct from the high-end Villeret 1858 Minerva pieces. A great everyday adventure watch with real heritage.
