Managed to handle the very tempting Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph with the beautifully finshed Minerva calibre 13.21.
The olive green dial is understated and refreshing, perfectly sized (for me) at 40mm. What are your thoughts on this piece?
Nice dial. Nice strap as well. It looks great on the wrist.
Does the pusher at 2 o'clock operate all the chronograph functions, if so I like the monopushers that use the crown to operate the chronograph; any clarification appreciated, thanks.
Age does not matter, never stop learning or respecting the opinion of others. No matter how wrong you know they are.
never been a cathedral hands lover but it fits this design nicely. I have the same question about the working of the pusher at two. Thanks for posting!
The watch overall is great looking (though green isn't my favorite for my wrist) but the movement is a total knock out.
Very attractive. Really like the style!Perfect watch for collectors of high end chronographs.
That's divine. This is the first Montblanc I've truly coveted.
Yes, it is a monopusher chronograph. The same button at 2 o'clock is used for starting, stopping and resetting the chronograph.
And the action on the monopusher chronograph is excellent and a joy to operate.
The strap matches the watch nicely.

If I had a watch in every colour except green, then that will do nicely, for paycheck days. Colour aside, it's a handsome watch indeed.
I like the watch, love the movement. I don't love the nibbled numerals but that wouldn't be a deal breaker. The dial color is nice but right away I would change the green strap for a CF gator in brown. Not sure about the lume color as it seems to clash with the dial. Could be my screen though.
..... well finished and incredibly beautiful column wheel chronograph movement. However, I can't seem to like the olive green dial as much as I wanted and the hands seems odd.
For about the same price range, I would prefer a used VC 47101 platinum. Of course, this is only my personal preference and nothing to take away from this incredibly well made Montblanc.
Agree that it isn't a daily wearer but the olive green dial is quite understated...I think it will look good on a brown strap.
The lume is in bright green IIRC.
but quite a few alternatives at that price range, esp considering that it is in steel.
even though I like the default combination.
The straps looks perfect on the watch but will also like to see it on another strap.
I would have preferred the brown strap but nice watch.
The blue doesn't look common, but not sure is a daily wearer.
looks really solid, with tough looking strap.
