CHARM AND RESILIENCE
The brand has been center staging glacier-hued shades since 2022. Its new iteration invites to discover a nocturnal vision set off by the glints of a never-seen-before alloy.
Montblanc enhances its Iced Sea Automatic Date collection with an ever-so alluring reference. Like the other dive watches, its dial stands out through its one-of-a-kind texture, this time round conjuring up a black glacier, imagined using the gratté-boisé technique. It features the range-specific time-data scenescape which flaunts an hour chapter comprising markers and large hour and minute hands. All these white Super-LumiNova®-topped items ensure excellent readability under any conditions of light, even in the dark of night.
This timepiece also stands out with its case. It pursues with the original 41 mm diameter yet takes on the warm tones of cupro aluminum, a copper and aluminum alloy that’s sturdier than bronze. Although it resists salt-water corrosion better than its trendy copper-based counterpart, this material will also reap the benefits of the patina of time down through the years. What’s more, to create a perfect stylistic match, the unidirectional rotating knurled aluminum bezel dazzles with its bi-color brown and black surface.
To boost the case’s waterproofness down to depths of 300 meters, the bronze back, engraved with a diver and an iceberg is screwed down, as is the crown. As such, this holder offers effective protection for the selfwinding caliber (38 hours’ power reserve) which also drives the date display at 3 o’clock. To heighten the Iced Sea Automatic Date‘s versatile character even more, this model is worn on an interchangeable rubber strap attached by a butterfly clasp.
