FAQs
What type of movement does the Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Watch use?
This watch is equipped with the automatic calibre MB 29.08, a self-winding mechanical movement.
How do I set the time and date on this watch?
Pull the crown to the second position to set the time, and to the first position to set the date. Ensure you avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM.
Is this watch waterproof?
The watch is water-resistant, but specific depth ratings should be checked for this model. It is advisable to avoid submerging it unless its specifications clearly allow for it, and always ensure the crown is secured.
How often does the watch need servicing?
It is recommended to have automatic watches professionally serviced every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance and the longevity of the movement.
What is the significance of the 'Star Legacy' name?
The Star Legacy product line draws inspiration from Montblanc's heritage and the historical pocket watches of Minerva, a company with a long tradition in watchmaking.
Can I change the strap myself?
Yes, you can change the strap yourself if you have the appropriate tools (like a spring bar tool) and a compatible replacement strap of the correct size for the 36mm case.
What does 'guilloché' mean on the dial?
Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate geometric pattern is mechanically engraved into a surface. On this watch, it refers to the 'exploding star' pattern.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running.
Manually wind the watch by turning the crown clockwise 30-40 times. If the issue persists, ensure the watch is exposed to regular movement throughout the day.
Inaccurate timekeeping.
Automatic watches can gain or lose a few seconds per day. If significant deviation occurs, ensure the watch is adequately wound and has been exposed to sufficient movement. Professional servicing may be required if inaccuracy persists.
Date not changing correctly.
Ensure you are not attempting to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue continues, manually advance the time past midnight to see if the date corrects itself. Professional servicing may be needed.
Moonphase display is incorrect.
Manually set the moonphase by pulling the crown to the first position and advancing the minutes until the correct lunar phase is displayed. Refer to a moon phase calendar for accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance. This is best done when the crown is in its 'closed' position.
- Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the second position (furthest out) to adjust the hours and minutes. Press the crown back in fully once set.
- Setting Date: Pull the crown out to the first position (middle) to adjust the date. *Note: Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.*
- Setting Moonphase: Pull the crown out to the first position and advance the minutes until the moonphase display reaches the desired position.
Compatibility:
- This timepiece is designed as a standalone analogue watch and does not interface with digital devices.
- The grey sfumato strap is designed for this specific model and case size. Replacement straps should be compatible with a 36mm case and appropriate lug width.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Strap Care: For leather straps, avoid prolonged exposure to water and moisture. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner if necessary.
- Water Resistance: While typically water-resistant, consult the specific water resistance rating for this model and avoid submerging the watch unless explicitly stated for diving or swimming. Always ensure the crown is fully secured.
- Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
