An appreciation for affordable fine timepieces often goes hand in hand with an appreciation for fine writing instruments. Both require high levels of skill to execute at the highest level. Both combine mechanical precision with a refined aesthetic that expresses one?s personal style. Today, Montblanc is a master of both realms. Here are five affordable Montblanc watches ($5,000* or less) for your consideration.
Montblanc Star Traditional Collection Date Automatic
Since it launched its first wristwatch in 1997, Montblanc timepieces have developed an instantly identifiable style. The Star Traditional Collection Date Automatic offers subtle elegance with a dash of flair. Stylized Arabic numerals mark the hours in a distinctive font that immediately identifies the origins of this timepiece. Behind the numbers, the dial is decorated with an intricate spiral guilloché pattern, while the cardinal points on the minutes track appear in red to add a touch of color. The seconds hand carries the famed Montblanc star-shaped logo, as does the crown. The stainless steel case measures a classic 39 mm in diameter, and a sapphire-crystal display back provides a view of the Swiss-made automatic-winding movement. An alligator strap secured by a folding buckle completes the package. The Montblanc Star Traditional Collection Date Automatic is priced at $2,875.
Montblanc?s stylized Arabic font and the guilloche dial give this watch a distinctive flair.
