A New Era For Montblanc?! The 1858 Iced Sea

Montblanc has just released their first-ever sports diving watch and I have to say, I'm a fan. The 1858 Iced Sea has got so many incredible features!

On the wrist: MoonSwatch Mission to Mercury, which I picked up on Friday when I happened to stop by the Swatch store and they had just gotten another shipment in. As far as the Montblanc, I think it's a solid first entry. I am not a date hater, but think this would be a good candidate for a no date with the numerals on the dial. If it needs a date, then I do agree about 6 o'clock being better due to symmetry. I have the same issue with the Longines Hydroconquest. A 3 o'clock date bothers me less when there are no numerals on the dial. The glacier effect is very cool.

Great timing for this video. Scottish watches were talking about this. And if honest, no one else. Seeing this review blew me away. Never knew mont blanc did watches and think this watch will increase their reach. This diver is a stunner but also delivers. Wow, just wow.

Great and in depth review! I saw it in a store the other day and was immediately intrigued. While it's certainly not as well built as a seamaster, ( bezel action has a lot of back play and the movement is standard eta) it really has some great aspects. The bracelet is awesome and at least on par with omega, like you said, and the dial is on par if not better than most grand Seikos, in my opinion.

Great review, not many videos about this. What was the lug to lug?

Nice review. I got mine yesterday in green and i love it.

Great review as always Harrison. Thanks. In my opinion the dial and the colours set this diver apart. I imagine the green would be gorgeous. Not to punshy just right. As I do not have any experience with Montblanc, the details about the bracelet are important to me. Overall it seams to be a very nice and unique watch with the only downside of the rather simple movement.

Yes, i do love the look and functions of the Blue Breguet Marine watch on a bracelet. It's a fantastic watch. Kindly, enter me into baseball cap drawing. Great review on Montblanc Iced Sea.

Good review, however a weight to weight comparison on the same strap/with no strap would be more helpful. On the Breguet: Type XXI 3815

[craigford]

Great video, can't say I have really considered Montblanc before but this looks intriguing. When it comes to Breguet, I'm a sucker for the classical styles, so it would have to be the Classique 7147 with the white enamel dial for me. And as you asked, I'm watching this video while wearing my IWC Pilots Chronograph 41 in blue.

[koolpep]

Breguet - my favourite one is the Type XX Aeronavale, love this Chrono!

[chuckandary]

Great video as always and my favourite Brequet is the classique in 18k yellow gold and second would be the Breguet trandition GMT manual skeletal dial

[deltropico]

Gosh i love your take on this watch. My thoughs exactly on the Geosphere as well as the Iced Sea, Montblanc at large, but i went with the green one hehe.

Great review Harrison 👍 I'd be interested to see these. When are you expecting them in store?
Today I have returned from work and swapped watches for my Tudor GMT.
As far as the Breget range is concerned I love the simple look of the Classique 7147 white gold with the white dial😍

[adulttoks]

We get it. You have an Omega. 😆. That said, I can't wait to see the dial in person.

[h.l]

Another great review 👏
I would prefer the Omega seamaster 300 white dial instead. The dial on the Montblanc is an interesting concept with the ice look but it kinda bothers me thinking it looks like a smudge and need to wipe it off 😳.
Yeh I agree the bracelet is better than the Omega seamaster but overall Omega is the keeper 👌
But if buying a pen defo go for the Montblanc brand with its iconic history very presidential 👍

I love Montblanc's dress watch selection and their classy designs. I'm the minority of preferring dress watches over sports watches.

[joelopic]

It's a nice watch but the Oris Aquis would be my pick in the segment. The Geosphere, now that is a different beast. What a watch. Well done Montblanc. It's just stunning

Wearing a Rolex Explorer II withe the polar white dial at the moment. I own and love the MB ChronoVoyager UTC. Really happy to see the releases of MB lately.
