Montblanc Star Legacy Product Line (Price, Pictures and Specifications)
Montblanc defined classical watches typology through their “Elegance” and history pedigree. Their Spirit of Formal Elegance, which is embodied by the Star Legacy product line, is inspired by Minerva pocket watches from the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century.
The nowadays timepieces include round polished pebble-shaped cases, like those found on antique pocket watches; onion-shaped crowns with the recognisable Montblanc emblem; refined dials with the iconic exploding star guilloché pattern; and Sfumato straps coming from the Pelletteria in Florence, Italy.
In 2020, Montblanc will introduce a new 43 mm size to the Star Legacy product line. More than just a size, it is a new expression of how elegant a timepiece can be. The two new men’s pieces will be: Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date and the Montblanc Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date.
It is all about harmony of contrast as Montblanc is offering stainless steel cases with satin finished and polished details and dials with two tones either ivory or anthracite.
Each timepiece features an open case back so the wearer can appreciate the mechanics of the automatic movement.
These two new Montblanc Star Legacy timepieces offer very useful indications and provide the perfect mix of classical watchmaking along with a stylish, yet casual look.
Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date 43 mm
The new Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date comes in a 43mm stainless steel case with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a sapphire crystal case back. There are two dial colours, one in ivory with a silvery-white flange and featuring 18 K rose gold-coated Roman numerals, indexes and hands, and the other in anthracite with black rhodium coated Roman numerals, indexes and hands. Both are enhanced with luminescent material SuperLuminova for a better readability at night.
The timepieces are powered by the MB 24.17 automatic movement that has a date at three o’clock and a 38-hour power reserve.
The timepieces are water resistant to 50 meters and come fitted with a brown or grey Sfumato strap and are available on a stainless steel 3 links bracelet that has been partly polished and partly satin-finished.
Montblanc Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date 43 mm
The new Montblanc Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date is housed in a 43mm stainless steel case with a domed sapphire crystal on the front and a sapphire crystal on the back, allowing the wearer the possibility to admire the MB25.07 automatic chronograph movement beneath.
The MB25.07 chronograph movement has a 48-hour power reserve and indicates the elapsed seconds via a central chronograph seconds hand, the elapsed minutes in a 30-minute counter, and the elapsed hours in a 12-hour counter. The day and date displays can be found in apertures at three o’clock.
There are two dial colours, one in ivory with a silvery-white flange and counters that features 18 K rose gold-coated Roman numerals, indexes and hands for the time functions and blued hands for the chronograph readings, and another that comes in anthracite with black rhodium coated Roman numerals, indexes and hands enhanced with luminescent material SuperLuminova for a better readability at night.
The timepieces are water resistant to 50 meters and come fitted with a brown or grey Sfumato strap and are available on a stainless steel 3 links bracelet that has been partly polished and partly satin-finished.
