Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Minya Konka

When the Glow of Sunset Hits the Glacier

The Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Minya Konka Limited Edition comes with a new, red glacier dial

The new Minya Konka edition comes with a black uni-directional ceramic bezel with the first 15 minutes in a contrasting dark grey and a 3D colored engraving on the caseback that features a picture of the Minya Konka at sunset to match the shade of the watch. This image is achieved using a special engraving technique seen in Montblanc watchmaking. The engraving begins with the metal being structured by laser to create a 3D relief image that provides depth and realism thanks to a series of matte and shiny finishes that create a special coloring contrast. The caseback is also engraved with the Chinese inscription “China Sichuan ‘Gong Ga Rui Xia’”.

For this new limited edition of 285 pieces – a number representing a tenth of the altitude of the glacier of the Minya Konka that sits at 2850 meters – each timepiece comes with both a stainless steel interchangeable and adjustable bracelet and a black rubber strap with a red outline. Stainless steel and rubber were also the materials of choice thanks to their durability in a water environment.
