Backed with a pure mechanical movement, this wrist flattering watch is built with the finest materials, components, and precision craftsmanship. It offers almost everything you could possibly ask from a Swiss luxury timepiece; style, reliability, and sophisticated complications. A masterpiece that is sure to lasts for years to come.
Montblanc 107338 has a highly durable case with a fixed bezel that is made of GreyTech titanium. The matte Grey case measures 43 mm in diameter and around 15.3 mm thick. It has a transparent exhibition caseback, in which, just like the Grey dial, is protected with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal --the difference would be that the one atop the dial is domed, and it features anti-reflective coating on both sides for an enhanced clarity. 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 Anthracite bracelet that made of genuine alligator leather is around 20 mm wide, and it comes equipped with a titanium steel pin and buckle clasp.
The ones fitted inside, the MontBlanc MB LL100, is the watchmaker’s another in-house movement that comes after their R200 family calibre.
Not only offering a sophisticated complications, this titanium based Swiss made mechanical self-winding movement that is highlighted by its unique flyback mechanism is pleasingly accurate, and reliable as well. Beating at a harmonic rhythm of 28,800 alterations per hour, this multi-featured automatic caliber 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, it also features a chronograph with centrally mounted sweep seconds and 60 minute hands, an automatic date that is odd-yet-nicely displayed at nine, and a subsidiary GMT (2nd Time Zone) 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. 107338 watch’s Grey dial itself is simply captivating; with partial open design that reveals a part of the calibre’s date-disc below, decorated with modern details, and has an smart layout that is easy in the eyes. On the dial, there are several rhodium plated hands, painted Black alternating sticks and Arabic numeral hour markers, and printed markers around the outer rim for easy reference. 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.
Those two Rhodium-plated semi skeleton hands are the hour and minute hands, and they feature SuperLuminova. The White tipped thin hand at the most top is the central sweep seconds, in which, right below it, is the Grey tipped polished hand for the 60 minute counter.Editorial note: Pardon us if at the image we provide, the central mounted 60-minute hand is barely can be seen because it is overlapping with the central sweep seconds hand.
Not only as a timekeeper, as an accessory, this GreyTech titanium on leather timepiece is indeed a versatile one as well. The fine combination of its Matte Grey titanium case, Grey dial, and Anthracite 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 107338 special edition chronograph flyback automatic watch is reasonable priced with an original manufacturer suggested retail price of $14,800.00.
