The New Black

Montblanc has wasted little time in meeting the current hunger for inky hues with its latest watch — the Timewalker Flyback Black.

Enveloped in DLC-coated titanium (AKA Diamond-Like Carbon — a substance 1.5-times more durable than stainless steel), it offers minimalist elegance. Pair that with a crocodile-skin strap, a sapphire crystal back and a limited-edition run of just 300, and you have a recipe for wrist envy.

Timewalker Flyback Black in Titanium DLC will be available at the end of October, £7,700 by Montblanc; montblanc.com
