Montblanc 1858 Automatic LE 118222 2023

Overview 

The 1858 collection is Montblanc’s vintage-inspired line, sitting alongside their contemporary collections like the Timewalker and Star Legacy. The 1858 pieces, with their old-school Montblanc logo and design cues, pay tribute to the brand's heritage, drawing from the spirit of Minerva’s historical timepieces.

The 1858 Automatic is a limited edition of 1,858 pieces, featuring a striking khaki green dial and a bronze case that will develop a unique patina over time. This model, along with the other 1858 novelties, is aimed squarely at explorers and adventurers.

The 1858 Automatic's 40mm bronze case is paired with a titanium case back, ensuring a lightweight and comfortable wear. At 11.07mm thick, it’s slim enough to slide under a cuff, yet robust with its fluted crown and box-style crystal—details that harken back to vintage designs of the '30s and '40s. The khaki green dial is simple yet functional, with large beige Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova-coated rhodium-plated cathedral hands, making it highly legible, even in low light.

Inside, the MB 24.15 caliber—a Sellita SW200-based automatic movement—powers the watch. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense movement with a 38-hour power reserve, perfectly in line with the 1858's heritage-inspired ethos. No date, no sub-seconds—just time-only simplicity, which many purists will appreciate.
