Housed in a 43 mm stainless-steel case measuring just under 14 mm thick, the 2022 Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum introduces a refreshed, more contemporary aesthetic to one of Montblanc’s most emblematic complications.

While the watch retains its signature brushed case flanks, polished bezel, and refined lugs, this latest iteration distinguishes itself with a striking color palette — warm rose-gold tones outlining the continents and meridians, set against a black and grey backdrop. The result is a sophisticated reinterpretation of the traditional world-map dial, diverging from the usual blue-and-gold “cartographic” motif found on most worldtimers.

A Legacy of Evolution

Since its debut in 2014, the Orbis Terrarum has evolved through numerous editions, each refining the design and technical details.
Montblanc’s artisans have shifted from alpha-shaped hands to leaf-style hands, and from simple color dials to those featuring intricate guilloché wave patterns. The brand’s approach ensures each release feels fresh while maintaining the timeless DNA of the collection.

World Time Functionality

At the heart of the Orbis Terrarum lies the MB 29.20 automatic calibre, based on the Sellita SW350-1 architecture.
The pusher at 8 o’clock advances the city ring — and as you select your desired reference city, the hour and minute hands automatically adjust to display the corresponding local time.

Beneath the dual anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the North Pole sits at the center of the dial, surrounded by a 24-city ring representing the world’s standard time zones.
Encircling this is the day/night rotating disc, divided into off-white (day) and slate-grey (night) segments — making global time reading effortless with just a glance.

Price and Availability

The Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum (Ref. 128675) is offered exclusively with a black alligator leather strap and is priced at €6,700.

Elegant, technically engaging, and distinctly Montblanc — the 2022 Orbis Terrarum continues the maison’s tradition of blending heritage worldtime craftsmanship with modern refinement.
