The anthracite interchangeable calf leather strap has been specially designed by Montblanc’s Artistic Director Marco Tomasetta who drew inspiration from the Maison’s writing instrument nibs for its pointed shape, enhanced with a vertical sfumato effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Time and Date: To set the time, unscrew the crown and pull it out to the appropriate position. Rotate the crown to adjust the hands. To set the date, pull the crown to the corresponding position. Make sure the crown is properly screwed in to ensure water resistance.
Winding: The watch is automatic, meaning it winds itself through the movement of your wrist. However, if the watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 15-20 times.
Strap Care: Clean the leather strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to water, chemicals, and direct sunlight, which can damage the leather. Regularly check the strap for wear and tear.
Case Care: Clean the stainless steel case with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. You can use a mild soap solution if necessary.
Service: It is recommended to have your watch serviced every few years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance.
