Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition
The Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Collection has always found inspiration in nature and the world of mountaineering, especially the exploration of those undiscovered territories that fuel the imagination of intrepid adventurers.
This year, Montblanc unveils the latest timepiece in the collection: the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen Mount Vinson Limited Edition, which pays homage to legendary mountaineer and Montblanc Brand Ambassador Reinhold Messner and his ascent of Mount Vinson in Antarctica, the final peak that completed his variation of the Seven Summits Challenge.
The new Geosphere 0 Oxygen edition is limited to 986 pieces, a nod to 1986, the year when Messner made his ascent on Mount Vinson. The timepiece comes in a 43.5mm titanium case that is directly inspired by the Mount Vinson landscape with a brand-new composite middle case crafted from quartz fibres, aluminized basalt fibres, CaCO3, and light blue resin.
It features 0 Oxygen technology that provides several benefits for explorers who need their timekeeping equipment to work in some of the world’s harshest environments. Zero oxygen inside the case not only eliminates fogging, which can occur with drastic temperature changes, but also prevents oxidization for components to last longer and to provide continued precision over time.

Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Annual Calendar Limited Edition
Montblanc also introduces two new Montblanc 1858 Annual Calendar Geosphere Limited Editions powered by a brand-new manually wound manufacture Minerva movement, featuring an annual calendar (hours, minutes, seconds, date, and month indications), a large date, and a worldtimer function.
The movement has a power reserve of approx. 65 hours and is composed of 336 parts, all of which are hand-decorated using traditional haute horlogerie techniques such as Côtes de Genève and a rarely seen snail finishing.
The visual focal point of these timepieces is their hand-painted, three-dimensional, rotating globe featuring the Northern Hemisphere and a Day & Night indication. The globe also indicates Greenwich Mean Time line with an orange line and a 24-hour scale. Crafted from sapphire crystal, each globe is hand-painted on the underside by a Swiss artisan, who spends four hours meticulously painting each one.
The timepieces come in a 42mm case in a choice of Lime Gold 750/1000 (18 karats) (30 pieces) or stainless steel (100 pieces). Both editions are fitted with fixed fluted bezels inspired by Minerva’s historic timepieces and the first fluted bezels that date back to 1927. Today, the fluted bezel is a signature design feature of all Minerva timepieces. The Lime Gold model has a matching Lime Gold 750/1000 (18 karats) bezel, whereas the stainless steel version comes with a white gold 750/1000 (18 karats) bezel.

Montblanc Iced Sea
Following the success of the Montblanc Iced Sea Bronze-tone Edition launched in 2024, Montblanc introduces another new look into the collection with a rugged distressed steel case. This finish has a deliberately aged and weathered appearance that is achieved by treating the stainless steel case with a black coating. The process involves manually washing the steel before brushing it with quartzite, a hard granular rock from a stone quarry at the Mont-Blanc Massif.
The distressed steel case is paired with a bezel featuring black ceramic inserts. The bezel has been treated with a two- step laser process at the first 15 minutes in order to lower it and give it a different texture.
Montblanc’s 0 Oxygen technology will now be integrated into all new Montblanc Iced Sea models. Owners of previous Montblanc Iced Sea editions will be able to arrange a 0 Oxygen upgrade either by sending their watch directly to a Richemont center, or by returning the watch to a Montblanc boutique, both of which will take care of the necessary follow-up via a Richemont platform.
Iced Sea Collection- 38 mm
The Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date collection, launched in 2022, caught the watch world’s attention with its sporty design and dials inspired by glacial ice from the Mer de Glace on the Mont-Blanc Massif. Enriching the collection, Montblanc unveils four new models in a smaller 38mm case.
To inaugurate this new case size, Montblanc is unveiling two new glacier pattern dial colors in white and light blue. All of the Montblanc Iced Sea dials feature a glacier pattern that replicates the color and texture of ice.
New features are also introduced on the technological side, with the Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic Date now featuring 0 Oxygen technology.
Montblanc is available at Rustans Makati, Rustans Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, and Solaire Resort Entertainment City.
