Product Information

Full details

This Montblanc Heritage watch is designed for individuals who appreciate timeless elegance and historical design. Its key benefit is the blend of classic 1940s/50s Minerva-inspired aesthetics with modern watchmaking technology, offering a distinguished look. A potential caveat is its 50-meter water resistance, which is suitable for splashes but not for swimming. The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, a brown leather strap, a silvery-white dial with a date display, and is powered by a Calibre MB 24.17 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve.

FAQs

What type of movement does the Montblanc Heritage watch have?

The watch is powered by the Calibre MB 24.17 automatic movement, which features 25 jewels and a power reserve of up to 38 hours.

Is the leather strap interchangeable?

Yes, the brown leather strap is typically interchangeable. However, it is recommended to use straps of the correct width and material to maintain the watch's integrity and aesthetic.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance of 50 meters, which is suitable for accidental splashes but not for swimming or diving.

How often should the watch be serviced?

It is recommended to have the watch professionally serviced every 3 to 5 years to maintain its accuracy and the longevity of its mechanical movement.

What does the 'Heritage' in the product name signify?

The 'Heritage' designation indicates that this watch is inspired by and pays homage to the historical designs of Minerva classic wristwatches from the 1940s and 1950s.

Is the sapphire crystal coated?

Yes, the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating to improve legibility.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Manually wind the watch as described in the setup section. If the issue persists, the watch may need servicing due to low power reserve or potential movement issues.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are setting the time between 6 AM and 9 PM. Setting the date when the watch is between 9 PM and 6 AM can cause the date mechanism to malfunction. If the problem persists, consult a watchmaker.

Leather strap shows signs of wear.

Clean the strap with a soft, dry cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

Crystal has minor smudges.

Gently wipe the crystal with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solutions directly on the crystal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Winding: If the watch has stopped, manually wind the crown by rotating it clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance. Do not force it further. If the watch is worn daily, the automatic movement will self-wind.
Setting Time and Date: Pull the crown to the first position to set the date. Pull it to the second position to set the time. Always set the date between 6 AM and 9 PM to avoid damaging the movement. Push the crown back in fully when finished.

Compatibility:

This is a mechanical watch and does not require compatibility with electronic devices.
The standard brown leather strap is designed for comfort and aesthetics.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Strap Care: Condition the leather strap periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Water Resistance: Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Clean the watch promptly if it comes into contact with sweat or liquids. Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet.
Servicing: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by an authorized Montblanc service center every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the automatic movement.
