In recent years, the sporty wind has swept the bezel of watches, and major brands have made frequent efforts in the field of sports watches, launching waves of interesting pieces. Sports watches, in the watch industry does not have a strict definition, is a broader statement, the more popular are diving watches, racing watches, pilot's watches, etc., suitable for different scenes, but not limited to specific scenes. Among them, the diving watch is the most popular of the hot, which can be described as "the place where major brands must compete".
The best diver's watch is also the first to be selected in the annual "Hands and Hour Hours" Top 10 watches, and is one of the most popular segments of the year. Remember that in 2022, we awarded Montblanc the best diver's watch of the year to the new 1858 series of diver's watches, with its gradient ceramic ring and glacial dial design, which is still fresh in people's minds.
In April 2024, at the annual "Watches and Wonders" Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Montblanc unveiled the new Glacier Diver Anaerobic 4810m Diving Special Edition, which is once again eye-catching.
The special meaning of 4810 meters
As you can tell from the name of the product, this diver's watch is water-resistant to 4,810 meters, which is one of the few diver's watches in the entire watch industry that can achieve such astonishing figures. Although such a high waterproof depth does not have much practical value, 4810 meters has a special meaning for Montblanc.
The name of Montblanc originates from Mont Blanc, and 4810 meters is the altitude of Mont Blanc, such echoes and tributes are some careful thoughts of the brand, which can remind people of the story of the brand's founding, the brand's spirit of adventure "up the mountain and down to the sea", and it is a unique conversation.
The details are interesting
Compared to some extensive diver's watches that are more functional, the new Glacier Diver Anaerobic 4810m Diving Special Edition has a more refined feel. In addition to the brand's signature "glacial" dial, the "six-pointed white star" logo on the crown is the finishing touch.
The 43 mm titanium case further lightens the weight, with a unidirectional rotating black anodized aluminium bezel with a white luminescent layer for a blue luminescent effect, and a date window at 3 o'clock. The colorful 3D pattern of the ice layer on the back is specially engraved on the back, which is a magnificent view of the underwater depths. The deep sea water and glacier blend together, and if you want to achieve a three-dimensional realistic effect, you can experience the brand's production process.
In terms of movement, it is powered by the Montblanc-manufactured calibre MB 29.29, chronometer-certified by the COSC Chronometer Transmission in Switzerland, with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 120 hours for approximately five days. Both precision and power reserve are at the top of the range of diver's watches in their class.
Write at the end
Some people may ask what is an "oxygen-free" watch? To put it bluntly, there is no oxygen in the case. This is to prevent fogging of the inside of the watch due to changes in altitude and temperature, and to prevent oxidation of the movement. This places higher demands on the assembly of the watch. Montblanc anaerobic watches come with an anaerobic certificate, which certifies that they are anaerobic during assembly. In addition, Montblanc's 500-hour quality testing and ISO 6425 certification further guarantee the quality of its products, giving consumers more confidence in their choice.
It is understood that the new Glacier Series Diving Anaerobic Watch 4810m Deep Dive Special Edition is not a limited sale, and will be launched in Montblanc China boutiques and online platforms in June this year.
