1858 Automatic Chronograph 42mm Black

EDITOR'S NOTE

Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph combines pure aesthetics with functionality and boasts the precision of chronographic functions.

As a first, Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph introduces bi-pushers to the line to activate the chronograph. Its 42mm case has undergone both polished and satin finishing and comes with a sapphire crystal glass box, highlighting the robustness and contemporary look of the watch. Engraved on the case back are a compass, two crossed ice pickaxes, and the emblematic Mont Blanc mountain—the iconic peak that has inspired the Maison since its founding.

The smoked champagne-colored dial with sunray finish provides an elegant backdrop for the bi-compass counters positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock, reminiscent of Minerva’s historic chronographs.

HOW TO USE 

• If you have not worn your automatic or manually wound watch for a prolonged period of time, wind it fully by turning the crown twenty times. Further details are specified in the respective service guide.
• In order to ensure the performance of your manually-wound mechanical watch, wind the crown once a day, preferably at the same time
• Be careful not to force the crown once you feel resistance.
• Do not change the hour or date between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., the period during which the date changes, as this may result in damage to the movement. Please refer to the service guide for further details.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not expose your watch to temperatures higher than 60° Celsius (140° Fahrenheit) or lower than –10° Celsius (14° Fahrenheit). As your body and clothing will warm up the watch, its actual temperature will be different from the ambient temperature of your environment.
  
• In case of a shock to the watch, consult a Montblanc boutique or certified Montblanc retailer. Even if no scratches or dents are visible, the movement may be damaged.
• Do not wear other jewelry on the same wrist as your watch in order to preserve the patina of its surface and the integrity of the material.
• To preserve the pristine condition of your alligator, calfskin, satin, or rubber strap, avoid contact with humidity, salty water, soap, and cosmetic products.
• Do not treat your strap with wax, leather, or shoe polish, as chemicals may damage the leather, lining, or stitching. This may cause the strap to lose its original shine.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. Please note that strong perspiration may darken the leather. Diamonds, set on a bezel or crown, must be handled with care to maintain the lifetime of their brilliance.
• Avoid contact with chemical products such as fragrances and detergents, as these substances will tarnish precious stones. If your watch has been exposed to such products, clean it with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Then, rinse it with fresh water and use a soft cloth to dry it or let it dry naturally.
• Never expose it to a direct heat source. Additionally, please be sure to check the stones regularly to ensure they are still securely set.
