The Montblanc Star Legacy product line takes its inspiration from Minerva’s heritage and the company’s pocket watches that were made during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Orbis Terrarum comes from Latin, meaning “globe”, “earth”, and “world”, providing the inspiration for the Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum. The timepiece is powered by an automatic movement equipped with a Manufacture complication.

The idea is to propose a worldtime function, simple to set, read and easy-to-use in an intuitive way, combined with an elegant aesthetic. Once set, it indicates all 24 time zones at a glance and shows whether the cities are in the daytime or night-time. While travelling, the timepiece is easy to set thanks to a single pusher. The dial is composed of an upper sapphire crystal rotating disc with applied 3-dimensional rose gold-coated Northern Hemisphere map and meridians surrounded by a ring depicting the 24 cities of the 24 time zones.

Each of the Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum watches, including the latest version, is housed in a modern 43mm case with an exhibition caseback highlighting the brand’s caliber MB 29.20 automatic movement. The MB 29.20 offers hours, minutes, a world time indication and a day and night display.

The most exciting aspect of the new Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum is the unique color scheme. Here, the dial consists of two layers. The bottom or base layer lays the foundation with a rotating, split color disc in light and dark gray, featuring a guilloche pattern and indicating day or night hours. Atop that is the upper disc, which is constructed from transparent sapphire crystal with applied outlines of the continents from the vantage point of the North Pole. The rendering of the continents and meridians appears in rose gold, which really pops on the gray backdrop.
