Montblanc Star watches

The Montblanc Star is the brand's family of classically styled watches, and it includes the Star Classique, the Star Traditional and the Star Roman. Montblanc entered the watch market in 1996 and set up its watch company, Montblanc Montre, in Le Locle, Switzerland, the following year.

The Star Classique is the plainest of them: a 39 mm automatic with a date, under 9 mm thick, in steel, red gold or yellow gold, or in steel paired with either gold, on a strap or a bracelet. Some versions have a guilloché dial. The Classique Date Quartz keeps the 39 mm case and is nearly 1.5 mm thinner.

The Star Traditional carries the complications. The Date Automatic stays at 39 mm, and the Chronograph Automatic fits a chronograph into the same width at almost 14 mm thick. The Chronograph GMT and Chronograph UTC grow to 42 mm to add a second time zone, the GMT also in red gold, and the Twin Moonphase adds a moon-phase display in a 42 mm case. The XL is the 40 mm version. Carpe Diem editions exist of both the UTC chronograph and the Twin Moonphase.

The Star Roman comes with silver dials in 39 mm and 42 mm: a small-seconds automatic on a steel bracelet, and automatic chronographs with a GMT or UTC second time zone.
