ECO-FRIENDLY
With this 1,969-piece limited edition, the manufacture pays a vibrant tribute to the mountains showcased through the shrewd use of Super-LumiNova® and a groundbreaking material.
Montblanc plays its role in protecting the environment by using a new fiber, CARBO2, developed through a process that absorbs CO2 from the production of biogas and mineral waste in recycling facilities. This material is used to craft the 1858 Geosphere O Oxygen CARBO2‘s 43.5 mm-diameter case, waterproof to depths of 100 m.
This watch, which is ready to travel the world, takes advantage of CARBO2‘s many assets, including its sturdiness and ultra-lightness. The one-of-a-kind pattern on its surface enhances the model’s style and is a perfect match for the gradient-toned hues of the dial set off with a black sfumato effect and textures obtained using the gratté-boisé technique. On top, world time can be read on both northern and southern hemispheres, placed respectively at 12 and 6 o’clock, and decorated with a 24-hour scale featuring day/night indication. An azure trim center stages the Greenwich meridian. A second time zone display and date complete the time information. All the data is driven by the selfwinding MB 29.25 caliber (42 hours of power reserve). The “Zero Oxygen” process used inside the case ensures no fogging occurs and prevents oxidation. According to Montblanc, this process “ensures all the components last longer and will provide continued precision over time”. A certificate comes with each timepiece and guarantees the watch has been successfully encased without oxygen.
