Montblanc, originally known for its luxury writing instruments, diversified into watchmaking in 1997 and has since produced a variety of timepieces. At Geneva’s Watches & Wonders, the company introduced a new color to its Iced Sea line—the Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date Bronze Edition. Embracing contemporary design elements while paying homage to its rich history, this timepiece showcases the brand’s commitment to innovation and style.
Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking hues of glacial landscapes, the Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date Bronze Edition introduces a fresh aesthetic to the esteemed Iced Sea collection. Its warm bronze-tone case complements the black glacier pattern dial, reminiscent of the awe-inspiring Mer de Glace. Utilizing the ancient gratté-boisé technique, the dial’s texture evokes a sense of natural beauty and timeless elegance.
Adding to its allure are the bi-color unidirectional bezel and intricately engraved case back crafted from bronze-coated titanium. With meticulous attention to detail, Montblanc has created a timepiece that exudes sophistication and charm. Powered by a Sellita-based automatic Caliber MB 24.17, the Iced Sea Automatic Date Bronze Edition offers reliable performance with a power reserve of 38 hours, making it suitable for everyday wear and special occasions.
