This larger version of the Orbis Terrarum at 43 mm would still prove to be a hit with fans of Montblanc watches given its functionality and a more aesthetically-pleasing design with more colours on it. We do not see a big difference between the two except for notable changes in the design of the sapphire disc, the size of the casing and also, a revised list of cities on the dial. The 4810 Orbis Terrarum offers many new, subtle refinements when compared to its original version, the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum. The Calibre MB 29.20 – easily visible with a transparent caseback Concluding Remarks The quality of the movement is considered reasonably good considering the price of this timepiece and one of the differences it has from other world-timers is that the world-time module is integrated with the movement and not fitted on the top as other world-timer complications would do. This movement features an in-house world time module that is made in-house by Montblanc while the base of the movement is a Sellita. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 A/h (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The 4810 Orbis Terrarum is powered by the Calibre MB 29.20, similar movement used in the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum. Once this easy regulation is completed, the local time of the new destination, as well as the 24 timezones, are fully synchronized. By clicking on the pusher, the hour hand would also start shifting by jumping in one hour increments without affecting the precision of the minutes. This adjustment can be made via the use of the pusher located at the 8 o’clock position, which automatically turns the hour hand, continents, cities, day/night disc and 24-hour timezones along with it. ![]() When travelling to another timezone, the new destination city simply needs to be aligned at the 6 o’clock position. Once finished, the time in all 24 timezones will be simultaneously displayed around the dial. The hours and minutes (which are linked with the day/night and 24-hour timezone disc) can be easily adjusted using the crown to set local time. To adjust, the local time of the city you are in has to be positioned right in front of the red triangle (located at the 6 o’clock position). Similar to the Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum, the adjustment of time is fairly simple. Also, one of the more subtle refinement we see in this version would be the minutes circle where the new design includes an indicator for each 5-minute mark. More importantly, it provides maximum legibility to the user due to its distinct shiny appearance. The 4810 Orbis Terrarum sports a similar design to its predecessor with the pusher also located at the 8 o’clock positionĪmidst all the complexity on the dial, the rhodium-plated, regate-shaped hands complements well with the more colourful and aesthetically-pleasing dial. Let us take a closer look at this fabulous timepiece. In this new interpretation of the Montblanc Orbis Terrarum, we see many new refinements being made to the watch and notably, a distinctive difference in the main sapphire crystal disc. The introduction of the new 4810 collection was to commemorate both Montblanc’s 110 th anniversary as well as the 10 th anniversary of the 4810 line that was released back in 2006 to celebrate Montblanc’s centennial anniversary. For just US$ 6,300, a collector can own a world-timer complication which is certainly worth it if you consider other world-timers such as the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time going for many times that price. It’s predecessor, the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum was a huge hit at the SIHH show in 2015, offering great value in terms of attractive pricing and outstanding quality. This year we see the release of a newly-revamped model of the Montblanc Orbis Terrarum, the 4810 Orbis Terrarum at Baselworld 2016.
