Montblanc Adds Two New Timepieces to its Star Legacy Collection

Montblanc is possibly best known these days for its popular vintage-influenced collections like the 1858 Geosphere and Automatic Chronograph, and its Heritage series, which was most recently updated last week with two new gold models and a new monopusher chronograph Today we look at Montblanc's more contemporary-focused Star Legacy series, which recently added two new models These new additions include the Star Legacy Automatic Date and Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date, two new models featuring pebble-shaped cases, onion crowns, and the "Star" guilloché pattern on their dials from which the series draws its name.

The Star Legacy Automatic Date, as mentioned, uses a 43-mm, polished steel case with a small onion crown drawing inspiration from historical Minerva pocketwatches from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century At the 3 o'clock position we find a small date indicator, while sweeping over the "Star" guilloché dial are two leaf-style hands for the hour and minute and a simple pointer for the seconds Moving to the Star Legacy Chronograph Day&Date, we find the use of a very similar 43-mm polished steel case with its distinct onion crown, though on this model it also features partially rounded, rectangular pushers for its chronograph functions.

Like the Automatic Date, pricing for this model is still unavailable, with its full release to Montblanc boutiques and authorized dealers anticipated in the coming months. . Source
