Ice Diver
WatchTime|May/June 2022
When it came to developing a new sports diving watch, Montblanc obviously didn't travel to the world's tropical waters for inspiration, but rather climbed up to the glacial lakes of the Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe, rising 4,807.81 meters (15,774 ft.) above sea level.

Laurent Lecamp, Managing Director Watch Division, explained, “No one else has such a connection with the Mont Blanc, the ice sea and nature. It was logical. Then the next logical step is the following: Sea of Ice; this is sea. So why are we not developing a diving watch? If you pay attention to what we did in the past, the sports watch is very successful in terms of sales, but something was missing, a diving watch. We have the legitimacy for diving, because all the glaciers are in constant contact with the water from the oceans and seas."
