It allows simultaneously indicating in the North and southern hemispheres of the globe. The model has a round polished case with a diameter of 42 mm, made of stainless steel. Water-resistant – 30 meters. The crown is located at the 3 o`clock position, decorated with a pearl Star of David – the Montblanc`s logo.

The silver guilloche dial, equipped with black Arabic numerals and blued hands, is protected by a sapphire crystal. Between 1 and 2 o`clock positions there is a round analog date display, and at the 6 o`clock position – the moon phase`s pointer. The sapphire crystal is also mounted on the case back, through which is possible to observe the work of the automatic movement Montblanc MB 4810/913, with functions of the hours, minutes, seconds, date and moon phases. The novelty comes on a black alligator strap with a stainless steel buckle.
