Montblanc 1858 series watches
In this fast-paced era, the retro trend is quietly rising. People are beginning to return to the aesthetics and lifestyle of the past, appreciating them slowly like old movies, and playing with them like old objects. Echoing this is the retro craze in the watch market. Both brands and watch fans have a soft spot for classic models. The newly released Montblanc 1858 series self-winding oxygen-free watch gravel brown special edition is a member of this retro trend. It uses old-school design language to tell the story of modern watchmaking.
This watch is equipped with the MB 24.17 self-winding movement, with a power reserve of about 38 hours. The movement performance is not top-notch among similar products, but for a watch, this number is enough.
From a functional point of view, the 1858 series watches provide three displays of hours, minutes, and seconds. The rose gold hands are particularly conspicuous on the Arabic numeral time scales, and the entire dial is also equipped with a rail-style minute scale ring to make the passage of time more clearly visible. The most noteworthy thing is that the hands and time scales are coated with SuperLumiNova® luminous coating, so the time can be clearly recognized even in a dark environment.
The front design of the watch is not amazing, but the design on the back is eye-catching. The mountain pattern of Mont Blanc is vividly depicted, which is not only the highlight of the watch, but also symbolizes the Montblanc brand spirit of courage to explore and conquer dangerous peaks. The watch is made of aluminum and copper alloy, and the 41 mm case fits perfectly on the wrist. Aluminum-copper alloy is characterized by light weight, high hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance. Generally speaking, it will not rust.
More importantly, its durability is much stronger than traditional bronze materials. Montblanc states that its wear resistance is 1.5 times that of bronze, ensuring that the watch can operate normally even in extreme environments. And as time goes by, the aluminum-copper alloy watch case will show a unique luster. This change cannot be copied artificially, which greatly enhances the collection value of the watch.
As a watch that combines retro aesthetics with modern watchmaking technology, the 1858 series naturally requires some effort in materials. It uses oxygen-free technology to improve the performance and durability of the movement. Traditional mechanical watches are prone to oxidation due to the internal oxygen content of the material, which affects the accuracy of travel time.
Oxygen-free technology solves this problem very well. It uses vacuum processing to extract as much oxygen as possible from the inside of the movement, thus greatly improving the anti-oxidation ability of the movement. This technology is not only used in Montblanc watches, but can also be seen in the works of some high-end brands.
In addition, anaerobic technology can also improve the stability of the movement, which is particularly important for some extreme sports enthusiasts. Although they like to challenge themselves, they do not want to damage their watches during the challenge.
Summarize
As a special model launched in the 1858 series, this gravel brown watch has made great changes in color matching. Brown has always been the most common color in retro styles, and the grain treatment adds a bit of weight to the watch. In the sunlight, the brown dial even has a hint of red, which is very charming.
From the overall design point of view, this watch perfectly interprets what is meant by “retro but not outdated”. The old-school design elements are combined with modern material technology, which is both fashionable and functional. It is a good choice for friends who like outdoor adventure.
