1858 Line Split-second Chronograph Limited Edition 100
The new MONTBLANC 1858 series split-second chronograph watch is inspired with the 1930s and refers to beginning 42mm military single-button split-second chronograph watch. The new see is equipped with a 44mm stainless-steel case and a fixed 750/1000 (18K) white gold grooved frame; the dark burgundy face is decorated with a direct sun light pattern and is paired with some sort of black chronograph dial in addition to white luminous Arabic volumes, presenting an elegant new look.
The new burgundy watch dial is easy to read and has a classic feel, with vintage-style hr, minute and second fingers, as well as a central split-seconds hands, a 30-minute counter plus a tachymeter scale.
Tachymeter
Like the initial model, the MONTBLANC 1858 Split-second Chronograph Limited Model 100 features a tachymeter size around the periphery of the switch (based on 1 km). A common feature of Minerva chronographs, the tachymeter gives functionality and a vintage experience to the new model. The actual tachymeter measures periods all the way to one minute, similar to the function of the traditional chronograph. The tachymeter shows the speed of a transferring object, such as the speed of your car traveling a acknowledged distance.

MB M16. 31 movement
The back reveals the hand-finished in-house manual-winding single-pusher split-second chronograph calibre MB M16. 31, inspired by the authentic Minerva chronograph calibre 19-09CH from 1909 and its beneficiary calibre 17-29, developed from the 1930s for pocket designer watches and wristwatches. The MB M16. 31 movement is usually decorated with traditional hand-finishing techniques such as Côtes fuente Genève, internal angles, perlage and chamfering, all executed at the Montblanc Manufacture throughout Villeret.
The particular movement features two section wheels for the chronograph as well as split-second complication, horizontal coupling and a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. Like its forerunners, it features the V-shaped bridge patented in 1912 and a large balance tire with 18 screws, oscillatory at the traditional frequency of two. 5 Hz / 16, 000 A/H.
The split-seconds complication, referred to as “rattrapante” in French, makes it possible for the user to measure advanced beginner times without interrupting the continuing longer measurement. The principle is usually to start the two chronograph moments hands and let them start off moving at the same time. Then hit the button at only two o'clock to stop one of the palms while the other continues to manage. Press the button yet again to allow the stopped palm to continue running to “catch up” with the running hand, so your intermediate time can be scored repeatedly.
The modern MONTBLANC 1858 series split-seconds chronograph watch comes with a brand-new dark burgundy interchangeable crocodile-grain calfskin strap and a stainless three-fold clasp with a fine-tuning system.
