Just like the rest of its variants, this Timewalker Flyback offers almost everything you could possibly ask from a Swiss luxury wrist accessory; style, reliability, and sophisticated complications that is backed with a pure mechanical movement. And of course, it is built with the finest materials, components, and precision craftsmanship to ensures to it would remains at its top condition for years to come.
Montblanc 106507 comes with an ultra durable, Black DLC-coated titanium case with a stationary bezel that is made of titanium. The case measures 43 mm in diameter and around 15.3 mm thick. Its case back is see-through, in which, just like its Black dial, is protected with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal --the difference would be that the one atop the dial is domed, and it features double anti-reflective coating for an improved visibility. At the right hand side, there are textured non-screw crown that is decorated with the brand’s logo, accompanied by the handy two pushers for its chronograph function. Furthermore, the Black bracelet, that is made of genuine alligator leather is around 20 mm wide, and it comes equipped with a titanium steel pin and buckle clasp.
Inside, this men’s Timewalker wrist watch is fitted with the watchmaker’s second in-house movement, the MontBlanc MB LL100.
This mechanical self-winding caliber is a sophisticated, multi-featured Swiss automatic movement that beats at a harmonic rhythm of 28,800 alterations per hour, pleasingly accurate, and reliable. This chronograph calibre is highlighted by its unique flyback mechanism, and specifically, it contains 36 jewels, and provides around 72 hours (3 days) of power reserve when fully wound. Functions wise, in addition to the hour, minute, continuous subsidiary seconds, the movement also features a chronograph with centrally mounted sweep seconds and 60 minute hands, an automatic date that is odd-yet-nicely located at nine, and has a subsidiary GMT dial that is displayed at the 12 o’clock position. The chronograph minute and hour hands are both centrally mounted. When you use the flyback feature by pressing the RESET pusher before you stop the chronograph, those hands "fly back" to the start altogether. Catch the drift? That is where its TwinFly (FlyBack) name came from. Anyway, note that it has a reversed layout, "0" hour is in the 6 o’clock position so that it starts at the bottom, not at the top.
Moving right along, this Montblanc Timewalker TwinFly Ref. 106507 watch’s dial itself is gorgeous; bold in Black, decorated with modern details, and has an ingenious layout that is easy to read. On the dial, there are several rhodium plated silver tone hands, applied alternating sticks and Arabic numeral hour markers, and printed markers around the outer rim. Additionally, the hour and minute hands, as well as the dot markers over the hour markers feature SuperLuminova so that they would remain visible in every light conditions.
The two larger semi skeleton Silver tone hands for hour and minute feature SuperLuminova fill. The longer Red tipped Silver tone hand is the central sweep seconds. The shorter Silver tone tipped Red hand is for the 60 minute counter. Not only as a timekeeper, as an accessory, this DLC-coated titanium on leather timepiece is indeed a versatile one as well. The fine combination of its dove titanium case, Black dial, and rich leather bracelet makes it easy to goes and would sure to flatter anything you could possibly pairs with it. Not to mention that it is also 30 m water resistant, which makes it practical enough for daily wear. And thanks to its sapphire glare proofing and luminous hands and markers, the watch performs just beautiful regardless day or night.
Anyway, for all of its quality offerings, this gent’s Montblanc Timewalker TwinFly 106507 special edition chronograph flyback automatic watch is reasonable priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $13,200.00.
