Montblanc’s Star Legacy collection, a hallmark of timeless elegance and sophisticated watchmaking, takes an adventurous step forward with its latest limited editions. These two new models bring a fresh green aesthetic to a line that has been consistently admired for its blend of classical design and modern innovation. Montblanc, a brand known for its rich history and precise craftsmanship, draws inspiration from the iconic Mont Blanc mountain. The brand’s emblem—a bird’s-eye view of Mont Blanc—has been at the heart of its identity since 1913. It’s this emblem that led to the Star Legacy collection’s debut in 1997, and now, Montblanc continues its legacy with the green “Exploding Star” guilloché pattern, symbolising the pinnacle of haute horlogerie.

The new limited editions—an Automatic Date and a Chronograph Day & Date—both come in robust 43mm stainless steel cases. The cases feature a polished and satin-finished design that strikes a balance between elegance and sportiness. The increased 43mm case size, introduced in 2020, gives the watch a modern presence without losing the brand’s classic aesthetic. The standout feature here is the green dial, adorned with Montblanc’s signature exploding star guilloché pattern, which mimics an aerial view of Mont Blanc. The hands and numerals are rhodium-coated and luminescent, ensuring clear legibility in low-light conditions. Together, these elements give the watches a fresh, vibrant look that pairs tradition with a contemporary twist.

Montblanc brings practical features to the forefront while maintaining the sophistication that defines the Star Legacy collection. The Automatic Date model offers essential functions, including hours, minutes, seconds, and a date display, all powered by the MB24.17 automatic movement. With a power reserve of approximately 38 hours, this watch is designed for everyday wear while standing out with its green aesthetic. The Chronograph Day & Date model, on the other hand, ups the ante with a chronograph function and day-date display, powered by the MB25.07 automatic movement, delivering a power reserve of around 48 hours. Both models boast an open caseback, allowing wearers to admire the intricate mechanics that define Montblanc’s technical mastery. These watches are water-resistant up to 5 bar (approx. 50 meters), making them versatile companions for different occasions.

The watches come equipped with Montblanc’s interchangeable strap system, offering two distinct options: a stainless steel bracelet or a green calf leather strap with an alligator print and beige stitching. This allows wearers to switch between a more classic or casual look with ease. As for the movement, both models continue Montblanc’s tradition of reliable and precise timekeeping. The Automatic Date houses the MB24.17 movement, while the Chronograph Day & Date features the MB25.07 movement—each one carefully crafted to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Overall, the Montblanc Star Legacy Green Exploding Star editions embody a perfect fusion of classic design, practical features, and modern touches, making them a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. With only 800 pieces available of each model, these limited editions are sure to capture the attention of those seeking elegance with a dash of flair.
