FAQs
What type of movement powers this watch?
This watch is powered by the Montblanc MB 24.17 automatic movement, which indicates hours, minutes, seconds, and the date.

The edition is limited to 1786 pieces, commemorating the year Jacques Balmat first reached the summit of Mont Blanc.

Can I change the strap?
Yes, the watch comes with an interchangeable calf leather strap and has a standard lug width, allowing for easy customization with other compatible straps.
Is this watch waterproof?
Specific water resistance details are not provided. It is advisable to avoid submerging the watch in water to protect its components and leather strap.
How do I care for the leather strap?
Clean the strap with a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly, and avoid exposure to excessive moisture. Regular wear helps in breaking in the strap.

The dial is inspired by the Mont Blanc mountain, featuring a burgundy glacier pattern with a sfumato effect and filet sauté, paying tribute to the summit's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped or is losing time
Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound. If it has stopped, manually wind the crown 30-40 times. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.
Date is not changing correctly
Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Ensure the time is past 3 AM before attempting to set the date. If the problem continues, contact a Montblanc service center.
Strap feels stiff or uncomfortable
New leather straps often require a break-in period. Wear the watch consistently, and the strap should gradually conform to your wrist. Consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for watch straps.
Scratches on the crystal
The crystal is made of sapphire, which is highly scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. Minor surface scuffs can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. Deeper scratches may require crystal replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon receiving the watch, ensure the crown is in its furthest position to set the date and in the middle position to set the time.

The watch is self-winding through movement of the wrist.
Compatibility: The watch uses standard 20mm lug width for straps, allowing for easy customization with aftermarket options if desired. The MB 24.17 automatic movement is compatible with standard watch winding boxes.
Care:

- Water Resistance: While specific water resistance ratings are not provided in the product information, it's advisable to avoid submerging the watch in water or exposing it to prolonged moisture to protect the movement and leather strap.
- Winding: Regular wear will keep the automatic movement wound. If not worn for an extended period, manually wind the watch as described in the setup section.
