The Montblanc Star Legacy Green Exploding Star collection demonstrates the brand’s commitment to horological excellence. This new release features two limited-edition timepieces that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements. The green dial, adorned with an intricate exploding star pattern, pays homage to the iconic Montblanc emblem while offering a fresh aesthetic appeal.
At the heart of these watches is the guilloché technique, a centuries-old decorative technique that creates mesmerizing patterns on metal surfaces. While traditionally executed on a rose engine lathe, Montblanc has innovatively replicated this effect through a special embossing process. The result is a stunning green dial that captures the essence of the Montblanc Mountain aerial view.

The collection comprises two models: an Automatic Date and a Chronograph Day & Date. Both timepieces feature 43 mm stainless steel cases with a harmonious blend of satin and polished surfaces. The larger case size, introduced in 2020, marks a new chapter in the evolution of the Star Legacy line, emphasizing its elegant yet sporty character.
Montblanc’s attention to detail is evident in the design elements of the watches. The round, pebble-shaped cases and onion-shaped crowns are inspired by the Minerva pocket watches of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Montblanc emblem adorns the crown, while rhodium-plated, luminescent sword-shaped hands ensure optimal readability.
Powered by the MB24.17 movement, the Automatic Date has a 38-hour power reserve and displays hours, minutes, seconds and the date. Its green dial features a minuterie with luminescent dots every five minutes and orange accents at 15-minute intervals, creating a striking visual contrast.
For those looking for even more functionality, the Chronograph Day & Date version combines a day and date display with a chronograph function. Powered by the MB 25.07 automatic movement, this model has a 48-hour power reserve, making it a versatile companion for many occasions.
Limited to 800 pieces each, both timepieces are water-resistant to 50 meters and feature Montblanc’s interchangeable strap system. Wearers can choose between a stainless steel bracelet or a green alligator-print calfskin strap with beige stitching, allowing them to easily adapt to different styles and preferences.
