The watch boasts a 43mm x 14.7mm stainless steel case, adorned with sapphire openings on the middle, showcasing satinated and polished finishing. A domed box-shaped, AR-coated sapphire crystal enhances visibility, while the 18kt white gold fixed fluted bezel adds a touch of elegance. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, this timepiece is engineered for durability and style. The caseback features a special engraving from the historic Minerva Manufacture, paired with a fluted stainless steel crown embossed with the Montblanc emblem.

Precision Movement

At the heart of “The Unveiled” is the Swiss manual-wind Montblanc by Minerva in-house caliber MB M17.26. This movement, with 26 jewels and an 18,000 vph, offers a 50-hour power reserve. The skeletonized monopusher chronograph is a marvel of engineering, featuring a reversed movement that allows a glimpse into the regulating organ, going-train, bridges, and plate via the watch dial. Certified by the Montblanc Laboratory Test 500H, it embodies reliability and precision.

Dial and Strap: A Symphony in Design

This masterpiece is completed with a blue interchangeable Sfumato calf leather strap, featuring an alligator print and a stainless steel triple-folding clasp, marrying comfort with luxury. This is the perfect balance of color, contrast and technical mastery.
