Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Limited Edition – 1858 pieces – MB119909 Full Set – MSRP $6700

Offered by NoVA Watch Supply of Fairfax, VA: An excellent condition Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Limited Edition watch REF. MB119909, Circa 2023.  The Montblanc 1858 product line is inspired by the legendary professional Minerva watches from the 1920s and 1930s which were conceived for military use and exploration. Reinterpreting these legendary timepieces, the Montblanc 1858 product line expresses the spirit of mountain exploration, embodying the modern trend of returning to nature. The 1858 Geosphere Limited Edition 1858 is dedicated to the world’s Seven Summit mountaineering challenge, the holy grail of mountaineering adventures. It comes in a 42 mm polished and satin-finished bronze case with a khaki-green dial that enhances the connection to nature. The timepiece features a manufacture world-time complication developed by the Montblanc watchmakers in Villeret: two domed globes, turning in opposite directions, that complete a full rotation in 24 hours. Both are surrounded by a scale with the 24 time zones, along with a day and night indication in contrasting colors. This provides an instinctive way of appreciating the different time zones, aided by SuperLumiNova® applied to the continents for increased visibility and performance at night. Providing a contemporary look, the timepiece is equipped with a high-quality woven khaki-green textile strap matching the dial’s color. This piece comes with the following:

• Montblanc Boxes (Beige Outer Box / Black Small Box)
• Montblanc Laboratory Test 500 booklet (Quality Test Certificate)
• Montblanc Service Guide/Warranty Booklet (Stamped 5/12/23)
• White Hang Tag
• Strap Tag
• Montblanc setting pin

This watch came into my collection being less than a month old, with the original owner sharing that they wore the watch 3x, leaving the watch in excellent 2nd hand condition with no noticeable markings on the crystal or bezel whatsoever.  The casing does have the start of a lovely patina on either side of the case, which is normal for bronze cased watches, but there are no scratches on the casing that I can see. The case back of the watch is in excellent shape, as it is covered by the strap, and has most likely only been exposed for listing photographs. The strap does show signs of use, consistent for a cloth strap that’s been worn a few times, but has plenty of life left as does the bronze buckle which looks practically brand new.  Overall, the watch is in excellent condition with normal sign of patina for a bronze watch. Please review all photos carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.  Additional images can be provided on request. Additional images can be provided on request.
