Following the launch of the Montblanc Iced Sea Collection in 2022 with its frozen dials, Montblanc pushes the boundary even further in 2024 with the Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810. In the spirit of overcoming limits, Montblanc explores new territories at minus 4810 meters – inverting the 4810 meter height of the Mont Blanc Mountain to connect the world of the ocean to the mountain, which has always formed part of the Maison’s DNA.

Housed in a 43mm titanium case with a shield protecting the screw-down crown, this new diving watch comes with a caseback adorned with a 3D engraving of the view divers see when diving underneath the ice.

This mesmerizing effect is created in a three-dimensional colored relief that is achieved by a process of laser-generated oxidization that structures the metal with both matte and shiny finishes to create contrasts of color and texture.

More than a Dial

Like with all the Iced Sea timepieces, the Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810 dial was inspired by the ice of one of the Mont Blanc mountain’s largest glaciers – the Mer de Glace – with its interlocking network of crystals that have been frozen in time for millennia, giving each dial the impression of genuine depth and luminosity.

This creative technique is called gratté-boisé and is not only special in watchmaking, but takes four times longer to make than a standard dial. The blue color is accentuated with a sfumato effect and depicts the tone of ice found deep under the sea, which is especially fitting for a watch that can descend to 4810 meters beneath the water.

As the timepiece needs to be visible in all conditions, Montblanc has incorporated white Super-LumiNova® into the hands, indexes and a dot at 12 o’clock which all glow in a luminescent shade of blue in low light, in keeping with the glacial theme.

Zero Oxygen

The Montblanc Iced Sea 0 Oxygen Deep 4810 joins the Maison’s series of “Zero Oxygen” timepieces that feature several benefits for explorers who need their equipment to work in harsh environments.

Zero oxygen inside the case not only eliminates fogging, which can occur with drastic temperature changes, but also prevents oxidization.

Without oxygen, all the components last longer and will provide continued precision over time. Each timepiece comes with a certificate as proof of this special, yet invisible, technology and guarantees that it has been successfully encased without oxygen.

All the Details

Powered by Montblanc’s manufacture, COSC-certified, automatic MB 29.29 movement, with approx. five days of power reserve, this deep diving timepiece indicates the hours, minutes, seconds, and a date at 3 o’clock. It is also completed with an interchangeable black rubber strap which is tapered in a V-shape and can be easily adjusted directly on the wrist, even when wearing a wetsuit, so all owners can find their suitable fit.

MONTBLANC – 1858 GEOSPHERE 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Edition

 

MONTBLANC – 1858 GÉOSPHÈRE 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Limited Edition 2024

Montblanc introduces a brand-new limited edition 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen timepiece featuring a CARBO2 middle case

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Montblanc's 1858 Collection timepieces have been designed as tool watches for mountain exploration, taking inspiration from the legendary Minerva pocket watches and chronographs from the 1920’s and 1930’s originally conceived for military use thanks to their precision and robustness. With its latest 1858 Geosphere timepiece showcasing a design as strong as the innovation within, Montblanc pushes the concept of oxygen – the central element in any intrepid ascent – even further than before.

A Middle Case Material Containing CO2

Montblanc’s new watch case material is created using a pioneering process that captures CO2 from biogas production and mineral waste produced by recycling factories, thanks to a process of calcium dissolution and carbonation.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The obtained powder containing CO2 – CACO3 – is then combined with ultra-light and resistant carbon fibre. Together, they create an innovative composite material, the CARBO2, which is shaped into a watch middle case.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In addition to the technological aspect of the case, the resulting CARBO2 material has a graphic aesthetic, with its dark shades depending on the particular mix of carbon fibre and CACO3, lending itself well to the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen. Like the fearless alpinists and adventurers who dedicate their lives to exploring the planet’s mountainous wilderness, this material is also opening up new paths of exploration.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Reinforcing the theme of adventure, the 43.5mm titanium and CARBO2 case comes with an engraved luminous blue outline of the Mont Blanc Mountain on the side that only the timepiece’s wearer can see. The older glaciers are, the less oxygen they contain and the denser they become, resulting in a deeper blue color that has been depicted on the case band – shining white by day and luminous blue by night. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

To achieve such a result, Super-LumiNova® and a layer of protective varnish are applied by hand with particular care. An image of the Mont Blanc mountain also adorns the titanium caseback, created using Montblanc’s 3D laser technique that depicts the color, depth and realism of this natural wonder.

Zero Oxygen

This Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen CARBO2 limited edition joins the Maison’s series of “Zero Oxygen” timepieces that feature several benefits for explorers who need their equipment to work in harsh environments. Zero oxygen inside the case not only eliminates fogging, which can occur with drastic temperature changes at altitude, but also prevents oxidization. Without oxygen, all the components last longer and will provide continued precision over time. Each zero oxygen timepiece comes with a certificate as proof of this special, yet invisible, technology and guarantees that it has been successfully encased without oxygen.

The timepiece is powered by the MB 29.25 automatic movement with Montblanc’s Manufacture worldtime complication, which includes turning Northern and Southern Hemisphere globes with blue Greenwich meridian lines and 14 dots for each of the 8000m peaks. It also displays a Day & Night indication, a 24-hour scale, dual time display, and a date.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The timepiece comes with a bi-directional titanium ceramic fluted bezel with blue luminescent cardinal points and a blue gasket under the sapphire crystal. It is fitted with a black sfumato glacier pattern dial that captures the texture of glacial ice with its interlocking network of crystals that have been frozen in time for millennia. Crafted using a special technique called gratté-boisé, this dial process takes four times longer than standard techniques.

To pay homage to its namesake mountain on the caseback, Montblanc uses a special technique to create an authentic 3D rendering that provides depth and realism. Made of titanium, the metal must first be structured, which means that the decoration will be engraved by laser, taking into consideration the relief of the original drawing. Next, the desired finish (matte and shiny) is similarly achieved by laser. In the final phase, colors are created with laser-generated oxidation, with the level of oxidation determining the final result.

Completing the timepiece is a black interchangeable rubber strap featuring a taper and a fine adjustment system, with the pattern reminiscent of the textiles used by mountaineers.

MONTBLANC – 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Only Watch 2023

 

MONTBLANC – 1858 GÉOSPHÈRE 0 Oxygen CARBO2 Only Watch Unique Piece 2023

To see Montblanc’s Only Watch 2023 timepiece, you will not only have to bid on it, you will also need to use an ice pick to get to it.

This is the fourth time Montblanc has participated in Only Watch and this time around, the Maison is offering so much more than a unique timepiece. The Montblanc Only Watch 2023 timepiece is a one-of-a-kind 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen that is introducing an entirely new middle case material that has captured CO2 inside. And if that isn’t ‘cool’ enough, the unique piece is encased in a block of ice (safe breakable glass) without oxygen inside, which means the watch’s future owner will need to smash it open with an ice pick to get to it, or leave it captured in time – it is entirely up to them!

A Case in New Material Creation

The new case material is created using a pioneering technological development that captures CO2 from biogas production and mineral wastes from recycling factories, thanks to a process of calcium dissolution and carbonation.

The obtained powder containing CO2 is then combined with ultra-light and – resistant carbon fibre. Thus creating an innovative composite material shaped exclusively into a watch middle case: the CARBO2.

In addition to the technological aspect of the case, the CARBO2 resulting material has a unique graphic aesthetic, with its dark shades depending on the particular mix of carbon fibre and CO2, lending itself perfectly to the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen. Like the intrepid alpinists and adventurers who dedicate their lives to exploring the planet’s mountainous wilderness, this new material is also opening up new paths of exploration.

Reinforcing the world of adventure and exploration, the 43.5mm case comes with a luminous glacier blue outline of Mount Everest on the side that only the wearer can see. The older glaciers are, the less oxygen they contain and the denser they become, resulting in a deeper blue colour that has been depicted here on the case band, shining white by day and luminous blue by night. A beautiful picture of Mount Everest also adorns the titanium case back using Montblanc’s 3D laser technique that depicts the colour, depth and realism of this natural wonder.

Next to Mount Everest, the 13 other highest peaks of the World are mentioned and marked in colour in tribute to alpinists who dared to climb them.

Zero Oxygen

This Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Only Watch 2023 one-of-a-kind timepiece joins the Maison’s series of “Zero Oxygen” timepieces and will introduce a new collection based on this piece that will be revealed in April 2024. Like all of Montblanc’s 0 Oxygen pieces, this unique piece features several benefits for explorers who need their equipment to work in harsh environments.

Zero oxygen inside the case not only eliminates fogging, which can occur with drastic temperature changes at altitude, but also prevents oxidization. Without oxygen, all the components last longer and will provide unfaltering precision over time. Each zero oxygen timepiece comes with a certificate as proof of this special, yet invisible, technology and guarantees that it has been successfully encased without oxygen.

The timepiece is powered by the MB 29.25 automatic movement with Montblanc’s Manufacture worldtime complication, which includes turning Northern and Southern Hemisphere globes, a 24-hour scale, Day & Night indications, dual time display, and a date. The timepiece comes with a fluted bi-directional black ceramic bezel with the compass cardinal points and “OW” for “Only Watch” depicting West. The timepiece is fitted with an electric blue glacier pattern dial and the worldtime meridians in a spectrum of colours, in keeping with Only Watch’s 2023 rainbow colour theme. Completing the look is a black interchangeable textile strap, which top material is made of 100% recycled PET.

From the Top of the Mountain

In addition to the timepiece, the lucky bidder will receive an ice pick from Montblanc’s Mark Maker, world record-breaking alpinist Nimsdai Purja, who is the fastest man to climb all 14 of the world’s highest peaks above 8000 metres, a record he broke in six months and six days. He also ascended Mount Everest without supplementary oxygen for a collaboration with Montblanc in 2022. 

For this unique piece, Nimsdai has donated his ice pick and written a note to the watch’s future owner about how he sees the world in 100 years. This hand-written note, along with the watch, has been encased in a zero-oxygen ice-like capsule. To access the watch, the future owner will need to take Nimsdai’s ice pick to break the case, or they can, of course, leave this difficult decision to the next generation if they so choose. What would you do?

About Only Watch

This year marks the 10th Only Watch charity auction, a biennial event that has raised over CHF/EUR 100 million to date. Only Watch was created in 2005 by Luc Pettavino – and under H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco’s high patronage – to auction one-off timepieces to raise funds to support researchers around the world to accelerate their work to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Thanks to the mobilization of the watch industry, this initiative has become a highlight on the horological calendar for both brands and collectors. Montblanc is honoured to be part of this important journey and hopes that this year’s timepiece will bring as much enjoyment to its future owner as it did to the Montblanc team who worked on bringing it to life.
