Precise, inteligible, rugged, and fearless of maximum environments: the famous Minerva expert watches of the 1920s as well as 1930s were originally created for military use.

1858 Collection Split-second Chronograph Limited Edition 100

The new MONTBLANC 1858 series split-second chronograph watch is inspired through the 1930s and refers to an earlier 42mm military single-button split-second chronograph watch. The new view is equipped with a 44mm stainless-steel case and a fixed 750/1000 (18K) white gold grooved viser; the dark burgundy switch is decorated with a sunlight pattern and is paired with the black chronograph dial and also white luminous Arabic numbers, presenting an elegant new look.

The new burgundy call is easy to read and has a classic feel, with vintage-style hours, minute and second fingers, as well as a central split-seconds hands, a 30-minute counter along with a tachymeter scale.

Tachymeter

Like the initial model, the MONTBLANC 1858 Split-second Chronograph Limited Version 100 features a tachymeter range around the periphery of the face (based on 1 km). A common feature of Minerva chronographs, the tachymeter provides functionality and a vintage really feel to the new model. The actual tachymeter measures periods as high as one minute, similar to the function of the traditional chronograph. The tachymeter shows the speed of a relocating object, such as the speed of your car traveling a recognized distance.

MB M16. 31 movement

The back reveals the hand-finished in-house manual-winding single-pusher split-second chronograph calibre MB M16. 31, inspired by the authentic Minerva chronograph calibre 19-09CH from 1909 and its heir calibre 17-29, developed within the 1930s for pocket timepieces and wristwatches. The MB M16. 31 movement is actually decorated with traditional hand-finishing techniques such as Côtes hun Genève, internal angles, perlage and chamfering, all carried out at the Montblanc Manufacture within Villeret.

The particular movement features two line wheels for the chronograph along with split-second complication, horizontal coupling and a power reserve of approximately fifty hours. Like its forerunner, it features the V-shaped bridge patented in 1912 and a large balance steering wheel with 18 screws, oscillatory at the traditional frequency of two. 5 Hz / eighteen, 000 A/H.

The split-seconds complication, known as “rattrapante” in French, enables the user to measure advanced times without interrupting the continuing longer measurement. The principle would be to start the two chronograph secs hands and let them begin moving at the same time. Then push the button at two o'clock to stop one of the palms while the other continues to operate. Press the button once again to allow the stopped palm to continue running to “catch up” with the running hand, so the intermediate time can be calculated repeatedly.

The brand new MONTBLANC 1858 series split-seconds chronograph watch comes with a brand new dark burgundy interchangeable crocodile-grain calfskin strap and a stainless three-fold clasp with a fine-tuning system.
