Description from the seller
In this auction we present a piece of great prestige and allure: a Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date in the highly sought emerald green color. A timepiece that combines high sporty watchmaking with a hypnotic naturalistic design.
This watch is Montblanc’s first professional diver certified (ISO 6425), but it is famous above all for its revolutionary dial. The manufacture managed to recreate the three-dimensional texture, the veining, and the depth of glacial ice (inspired by the Mer de Glace of Mont Blanc) through a complex and ancient artisanal technique called gratté-boisé. The deep emerald green color captures the light, evoking the reflections of alpine lakes surrounded by glaciers.
The technical setup is impeccable. The 41 mm stainless steel case is topped by a unidirectional ceramic bezel in green bi-color, glossy and scratch-resistant. The watch is water resistant up to a generous 30 ATM (300 meters) and the solid case back features a magnificent 3D laser-engraved depiction of a diver and an iceberg. Indices and hands are generously filled with Super-LumiNova for perfect legibility in the dark, as shown in the photographs. The heart is the automatic movement Caliber MB 24.17.
The condition is to be considered excellent overall. The watch has been preserved with extreme care. The sapphire crystal and the ceramic bezel insert are immaculate, without any mark. The steel case is bright and robust. On the bracelet and, in particular, on the deployant clasp, there are only extremely rare, negligible, and almost imperceptible superficial micro-scratches (hairlines) due to normal careful handling, which do not detract from its beauty. The engraved case back is also perfectly clear.
