Watch comments: Montblanc launched the 1858 series of monopusher chronographs this year, using 40 mm steel case, gradient green dial and green alligator leather strap, the overall style of vintage and very eye-catching, rationed to 100 pieces. Like other classic Minerva timepieces, this model has a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a classic railroad-track minute scale around the outside of the dial. It houses Montblanc's own caliber MB M13.21, a large 18-screw balance wheel running at the traditional frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, equipped with a column wheel, a horizontal disc clutch and the iconic "V" shaped chronograph bridges that were still a secret in 1912. As with other Meneva calibers, one of the movement parts is shaped in the form of a small arrowhead, the Meneva signature, in honor of the Manufacture's long and illustrious watchmaking tradition.
