A mountaineering brand at heart, Montblanc finally found a way to properly expresses a dive watch, the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date, while staying true to its roots. Glaciers are the name of the game, although any visitor to the Alps will surely know about the many wonderful lakes in the area. The dive watch is a staple in contemporary watchmaking, and every serious watch brand has one, or something like it. The Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date is a dive watch, through and through, being ISO 6425 certified. To be completely upfront about it, what you will want to know is the price, because it is a real winner. It clocks in at S$4,400 (CHF3,000).

We, and no doubt other observers, can quite happily report that the 1858 Iced Sea is a lot of watch for that price. Where some might expect Montblanc to invoke its Minerva heritage and head for the stratosphere in terms of pricing, the brand has recognised the opportunity at the under CHF3,000 level. We salute them for this, and have been eagerly waiting for our shot at publicly declaring this since we were introduced to this dive watch earlier this year. Unfortunately, it was destined for Watches & Wonders Geneva so we had to bide our time.
