After the release of two limited editions of the Montblanc Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph last year in lime gold and stainless steel, Montblanc has showcased a new limited edition in distressed steel, giving this model a more contemporary look. This distressed steel finish is achieved by treating the 43mm stainless steel case with a black coating.
It is fitted with a black nubuck alligator strap with a distressed steel triple-folding clasp, the company states.
