The Extreme leather wristband created by the Montblanc Pelletteria in Florence, perfectly matches with the timepiece: markedly technical while retaining a sporty yet elegant appearance. Due to its innovative manufacturing process, the upper surface of the leather wristband has a characteristic carbon appearance. In a long and meticulous process, the leather is textured and simultaneously impregnated with an innovative treatment that does not only coat the surface of the wristband, but also bonds with it and increases its structural strength. This innovative technique produces a high-performance and innovative leather, delivering abrasion resistance, water repellence and heat wear-, water- and fire-resistant. The e-Strap device can be easily fixed and adjusted with the pass-through to all strap sizes 20/22mm.
