Full details
The Montblanc Star Legacy 39mm is an automatic Day & Date timepiece for watch enthusiasts appreciating classic design and heritage. Its key benefit is the elegant, heritage-inspired aesthetic combined with reliable automatic movement.

FAQs
What type of movement does this watch have?
This watch is powered by the automatic calibre MB 24.28 movement.
How do I set the day and date?
Pull the crown out to the appropriate position and turn it. It is recommended to set the day and date when the time is between 6 AM and 9 PM to avoid interfering with the automatic date change mechanism.
What is the case size?
The case size is 39mm in diameter.
Is this watch waterproof?
The watch has a specific water resistance rating (refer to the case back or manual for exact details). It is generally suitable for daily wear and splashes but not for swimming or diving unless explicitly stated.
How often does the watch need servicing?
Automatic watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
Can I change the strap?
Yes, the watch uses standard lug widths, allowing you to replace the black calf leather strap with other compatible straps if desired.
What does 'guilloché' mean?
Guilloché is a decorative technique in fine watchmaking involving the repetitive, precise engraving of intricate geometric patterns, such as the exploding star pattern found on this dial.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
The watch may have run out of power. Gently shake the watch for 1-2 minutes or manually wind the crown (if applicable) until the second hand starts moving. If it stops again shortly after, ensure it is being worn regularly or wound consistently.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Automatic watches can experience minor variations. If significant inaccuracy occurs, it may require servicing. Extreme temperature changes or strong magnetic fields can also affect accuracy; keep the watch away from strong magnets.
Day or date not changing correctly
Ensure the time is not between 9 PM and 3 AM when setting the day and date. If it is, advance the time past midnight to 6 AM, then set the day and date. If the issue persists, consult a watchmaker.
Strap feels uncomfortable or is worn
Leather straps can take time to break in. If the strap shows signs of wear, consider replacing it with a compatible Montblanc strap or a standard watch strap of the correct width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This watch features an automatic movement. To start it, gently shake the watch for a few minutes or manually wind the crown (if available on this specific model, consult manual). If the watch has stopped, setting the time, day, and date is done by pulling out the crown to the appropriate position and turning it. Always set the day and date *away* from the 12 o'clock position to avoid potential damage to the mechanism.
Compatibility: The watch itself is self-contained. The primary compatibility consideration is the strap. It uses standard watch strap lug widths suitable for 39mm Montblanc watches, allowing for customization with aftermarket straps if desired.
Care:
- Winding: For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day. If not worn, wind it manually for about 30-40 turns every few days to maintain power.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For the leather strap, avoid contact with water and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use soaps or abrasive cleaners on the strap.
- Water Resistance: Check the specific water resistance rating for this model (typically indicated on the case back). Avoid submerging the watch beyond its stated rating, and always ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down before exposure to moisture.
