This year is a big year for Montblanc and the ExoTourbillon. They have released three watches with the ExoTourbillon movement: the TimeWalker ExoTourbillon Minute Chronograph, the 4810 ExoTourbillon Slim 110 Years, and now the ExoTourbillon Slim. The Slim is slightly different than the previous two ExoTourbillon watches in the fact that it features the caliber MB 29.21 movement which is the new movement released for SIHH this year.
The caliber MB 29.21 ExoTourbillon movement is automatic and propelled by a micro-rotor and is decorated with the Côtes de Genève en Enventail motif. The micro-rotor was put into place in order to show off the movement more through the sapphire crystal case back. The movement is 4.5 mm in height. The ExoTourbillon Slim also features the start-stop seconds feature, which is activated by a whip that stops the large screw balance and restarts it on demand. All the functions are set through the crown at 3 o’clock.
The ExoTourbillon Slim case is 42 mm in diameter and 10.14 mm in thickness and is available in red gold. The silvered dial featured a wavy guilloché pattern for the top portion of the dial, while the ExoTourbillon is visible at the bottom half of the dial. The Roman numerals are red gold plated and have SuperLuminNova® dotted in the outer chapter ring.
