To pay tribute to the "pink dial" charity project, the back of this orphan watch is specially engraved with the three-dimensional view of the pink Mont Blanc under the sunset, which can be described as lifelike. Montblanc presents this real scene through a very special laser engraving technology, making it as realistic as a photo. To make such a fine and vivid pattern, first of all, we must use a laser to engrave the decorative layers on the titanium metal to ensure its relief effect.

Then the same laser is used to further polish the required matte or polished gloss finish effect. In the end, the color is given, and the degree of oxidation produced by the laser cleverly determines the desired color.
