Star Legacy Small Second 118536 Watch

The Watch
German luxury powerhouse Montblanc boasts an extensive and diverse collection of timepieces, designed to satisfy a wide and discerning clientele with products of the highest quality. The manufacture has carved out a remarkable name for itself in watchmaking - a highly competitive field - thanks to its storied heritage and strong reputation, which give it a distinct edge. This particular model is designed for women. It features a stainless steel case with a curved side finish, measuring 32 mm in diameter and 9 mm in thickness - an ideal size to complement your look with understated elegance. It is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, offering maximum protection thanks to its unrivaled hardness. A slender winding crown adorned with Montblanc's signature mother-of-pearl emblem sits at 3 o'clock, allowing you to set the time or manually wind the movement when needed. Finally, the caseback is snap-fit - ensuring water resistance to 3 atmospheres - and transparent, offering a breathtaking window into the movement that will captivate you every time.

The Dial
Refined and graceful, the white dial that defines this Star Legacy is elevated by a series of high-quality aesthetic details. It features a double-circle finish for a striking visual effect. The outer circle is framed by anthracite baton hour markers - with the exception of 3, 9, and 12 o'clock, where Arabic numerals take over. A minute railway track runs along the outer edge, ensuring precise timekeeping. The inner circle stands out with an exquisite guilloché finish shaped as concentric stars, adding a distinguished, sophisticated touch to the overall dial. Two anthracite leaf-shaped hands sweep across the dial, indicating hours and minutes. The brand signs its work beneath the 12 o'clock marker, with its signature typography and the movement name in italics just below. A final standout detail: a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock features a guilloché background depicting the famous six-pointed star of this iconic German house - and is entirely set with 28 diamonds (~0.056 ct), delivering both visual and qualitative pleasure on a prestige timepiece that will make you shine as brightly as it does.

The Movement
Drawing on the deep expertise and rich heritage of the Minerva manufacture in Villeret - now part of Montblanc - the brand equips its timepieces with in-house calibers of exceptional quality. In this model, a Swiss-made automatic movement powers the watch. More specifically, it is a MB 24.07 caliber with 27 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vph. The power reserve stands at 42 hours, driving both the hour and minute hands as well as the small seconds. The movement can be admired through the stunning transparent caseback.

The Strap
Combining exceptional comfort and lightweight elegance, a grey alligator leather strap allows you to wear this watch on your wrist in style. Meticulously crafted and perfected, it is made directly by Montblanc Pelletteria in Florence. Tone-on-tone stitching reinforces its refinement and distinguished bearing. It fastens via a silver-tone steel pin buckle. The lug width measured on this model is 15 mm.

Water Resistance
With a water resistance of 30 meters - 3 atmospheres in watchmaking terms - this watch is no sports companion or water enthusiast. Water is the worst enemy of its delicate mechanism, and our team strongly recommends keeping it dry. It will handle rain or dishwashing just fine, but skip the shower, the bath, the pool, and especially the deep end - this one clearly prefers to stay on dry land.
