The Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic Date 43 mm Limited Edition of 800 pieces is the green-dial Star Legacy watch identified by reference MB132948. Its dial carries Montblanc’s signature exploding-star pattern; the automatic watch displays the time and date.
Which watch is the green Exploding Star edition?
Montblanc’s reference MB132948 is a 43 mm Star Legacy Automatic Date limited to 800 pieces. The name can be easy to confuse with other green or exploding-star designs in the broader Star Legacy range, so the reference is the clearest way to identify this particular model. Montblanc’s product page lists the model and edition size.
What is distinctive about its dial?
The green dial is decorated with Montblanc’s signature exploding-star pattern. It has a green flange and white luminescent rhodium-coated Roman numerals and indexes, paired with rhodium-coated sword-shaped hands. These details give the watch its visual identity while keeping hours, minutes, and seconds legible.

Strap and water-resistance context
The listed strap is interchangeable green calf leather with an alligator print and ecru stitching. Interchangeable does not mean every replacement strap will fit: check the attachment and dimensions before ordering another strap.
Montblanc states water resistance of 5 bar, or 50 metres. That rating is not a depth guarantee for recreational or professional diving; follow Montblanc’s care guidance for the watch and have water resistance checked as appropriate, especially before exposing it to water.

How the design relates to Minerva
Montblanc says the design takes inspiration from Minerva pocket watches from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Star Legacy line’s broader heritage material also refers to Minerva and historic pocket watches. This is a design influence, rather than a claim that MB132948 is itself a pocket watch or that every Star Legacy model shares the same details.
Price and availability
The US regional product page showed a price of $3,455 and “Available Soon” messaging when reviewed in 2026.

- Dial, hands and strap design.
- Edition size and the specific reference.
- Water-resistance rating and local price and availability.
