This flyback chronograph allows the wearer to time one event, and then stop, reset and restart the chronograph with just one press on the pusher at 4 o\u2019clock. This TwinFly function not only restarts the central chronograph seconds hand (in blue), but also the central minutes chronograph hand (in red gold), sending both hands back to zero and instantly restarting them for a new time measurement.

The chronograph mechanism uses a traditional column wheel and a vertical clutch system to start and stop the chronograph with perfect precision.

The hours are marked by alternating red gold-plated\u00a0Roman numerals and baton indexes, while the hands are a mix of baton and regate designs and point to scales that run around the dial, indicating the seconds and the minutes with utmost precision. Each hour is also accentuated by the addition of a SuperLumiNova\u00ae* dot for improved visibility at night, and the minute scale includes red numbers at each 10-minute mark for greater legibility during the day.<\/p>\n<p>For the functions, the hour and minute hands are indicated with red gold-plated, regate-shaped hands, while the second time zone is shown via a highly readable skeletonized blue regate-shaped hand (for home time when travelling). Setting the local time is an extremely fast and precise affair, as the seconds don\u2019t stop when the crown is pulled out. Moving onto the subdials, small seconds are displayed by a red gold-plated hand with a red tip in the subdial at 6 o\u2019clock. This subdial also doubles as a date indicator with a large red arrow pointing to the date. At 12 o\u2019clock, the subdial illustrates a map of the world that reveals whether it is day or night in the home time when travelling and links back to the pioneering spirit of travel crossing the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>Limited to 1,110 pieces, the Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition comes fitted with an elegant black alligator strap.<\/p>","description_short":"","quantity":0,"minimal_quantity":"0","available_now":"","available_later":"","price":5916.666667,"specificPrice":false,"additional_shipping_cost":"0.00","wholesale_price":"0.000000","on_sale":"0","online_only":"0","unity":"","unit_price":0,"unit_price_ratio":"0.000000","ecotax":"0.000000","reference":"114859","supplier_reference":"","location":"","width":"0.000000","height":"0.000000","depth":"0.000000","weight":"0.000000","ean13":"","upc":"","link_rewrite":"4810-twinfly-chronograph-110-years-edition","meta_description":"Montblanc 4810 Collection Montblanc celebrates the golden age of travel across the Atlantic Ocean with its 4810 collection Montblanc marks its 110th annivers...","meta_keywords":"","meta_title":"Watch Montblanc 4810 TwinFly Chronograph 110 Years Edition | Star 4810 114859 Stainless steel - Alligator Strap","quantity_discount":"0","customizable":"0","new":false,"uploadable_files":"0","text_fields":"0","active":"1","redirect_type":"","id_product_redirected":"0","available_for_order":"0","available_date":"0000-00-00","condition":"new","show_price":"1","indexed":"1","visibility":"both","date_add":"2016-10-25 15:24:06","date_upd":"2017-07-19 16:54:08","tags":false,"base_price":"5916.666667","id_tax_rules_group":"1","id_color_default":0,"advanced_stock_management":"0","out_of_stock":2,"depends_on_stock":false,"isFullyLoaded":true,"cache_is_pack":"0","cache_has_attachments":"1","is_virtual":"0","id_pack_product_attribute":null,"cache_default_attribute":"0","category":"star-4810","pack_stock_type":"0","id":5964,"id_shop_list":null,"force_id":false,"customization_required":false}

Montblanc 4810 Collection
Montblanc celebrates the golden age of travel across the Atlantic Ocean with its 4810 collection
Montblanc marks its 110th anniversary this year with a new 4810 Collection, building on this best-selling line that was first presented in 2006 for the Maison’s centennial celebrations. The new 4810 Collection respects all the codes of Montblanc’s watchmaking, with its strong, elegant and sporty design, offering a new sophisticated interpretation of this much loved 4810 Collection for the modern traveller who needs a performance timepiece he can rely on.
