The story behind the Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Limited Edition 360 pieces begins in 1872 with Jules Verne and his famous novel Around the World in 80 Days. This famous tale, woven with intrigue and adventure, has held captive the imaginations of both the young and the old alike to this day. Just like Phileas Fogg and Passepartout, the timepiece was crafted to accompany adventurers on their journeys around the globe with its in-house worldtime complication that indicates 24 time zones at a glance. Phileas Fogg’s journey is mapped out with 80 gold dashes on a multi-layer dial representing the map of the world seen from the North Pole that rotates with the movement mechanism. The titanium case back features a 3D laser engraving that brings both colour, depth and realism to a representation of the majestic and faithful elephant Kiouni. The model is housed in a 43 mm polished stainless steel case and is powered by the MB 29.20 automatic movement. This timepiece is also fitted with an interchangeable blue calf leather strap with alligator print. The adventures continue onto the lining of the strap with embossed Chinese coins and Boteh leaves discovered on the 80-day journey.
