1858 Automatic Date 0 Oxygen The 8000 MB130984 Watch

The Watch

Montblanc puts its exceptional savoir-faire front and center in every watch it creates. Skilled artisans carefully craft each model from premium materials, resulting in timepieces that are both elegant and highly reliable - pieces that stand the test of time without losing their value or brilliance. Understated yet refined, the MB130984 from the 1858 Automatic Date 0 Oxygen The 8000 collection was crafted with true passion. Versatile and easy to style, it pairs equally well with tailored suits and casual looks. Aesthetics, construction, quality, and precision were all given equal attention. To make it a practical, modern timepiece for every adventure, it features a completely oxygen-free stainless steel case that eliminates condensation and prevents oxidation - a major advantage for explorers and a guarantee that the movement will last far longer. With a diameter of 41 mm, it sits perfectly on a man's wrist. The round case is topped by an anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal that delivers outstanding legibility and robustly protects the stunning dial from daily wear. A black ceramic bezel with luminescent cardinal points adorns the surface, ready to guide you on your next expedition. The snap-on case back ensures 10 ATM water resistance. At 3 o'clock, a ridged stainless steel crown engraved with the Montblanc emblem in relief serves as the main control element.

The Dial

The watch's dial features a rounded shape and a dark gray Sfumato "glacier" textured finish. It is punctuated by orange and white accents that bring the design to life. Among its key details are luminescent time indicators that ensure easy legibility in low-light environments. The dial presents rhodium-plated indices marking the hours in black Arabic numerals, surrounded by a minute track along the perimeter numbered every 5 minutes for precise timekeeping. The time is indicated by two large cathedral hands for hours and minutes, accompanied by a seconds hand. A date window at 3 o'clock displays today's date. At 12 o'clock, Montblanc signs its creation in bold lettering, while the movement type is noted just above the 6 o'clock index.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a high-quality automatic movement - specifically the Swiss-made MB 24.17 caliber, which drives the hands and date window with precision. Hours, minutes, seconds, and date are all reliably displayed. It features 26 jewels, beats at 28,800 BPH, and delivers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The Strap

This watch is paired with a tapered gray stainless steel bracelet. It is made up of multiple rows of rigid, comfortable links that adorn your wrist with elegance. Polished and brushed, they complement any style effortlessly. It fastens with a deployment clasp and features a 20 mm lug width.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. This is a genuinely water-resistant timepiece, ready to dive into life with you. From puddles to the pool, it handles water with ease. Showers, baths, and lap swimming are no problem at all. That said, our Ocarat watch experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not suited for professional or recreational diving and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers clear of operation while submerged.
