The watch has a round, 42-mm-diameter case made of rose gold. The sapphire crystal over the dial is slightly domed and has a nonreflective treatment on both sides. There is also a sapphire window in the screwed caseback, offering a view of the movement, automatic Caliber MB 4810/912, which controls the timekeeping and calendar functions. For manual winding, the watch has a fluted, easy-to-grip rose-gold crown, topped by the Montblanc star emblem in mother-of-pearl. Buttons built into the flank of the case, which are operated by a corrector tool that comes with the watch, set the date, day, month, and moon-phase displays. The strap is in brown alligator leather and has a pronged buckle made of rose gold.
The Star Quantième Complet, which Montblanc says will be on sale starting in August, will also be available with a stainless steel case. Prices are $18,000 for rose gold and $5,100 for steel.

Hi Mark,
Do you know what movement is in the Montblanc Star GMT 1906 Anniversary watch? This was a COSC movement in limited edition watch which is no longer manufactured.
Thank You,
