 The Summit 2 is a model for fashion smartwatches. Its case follows a traditional wristwatch form, with a distinctive electronic crown and chronograph-style button arrangement. The hands and scale are hidden behind the sapphire crystal cover, ensuring the OLED display doesn't get in the way. The face, inspired by the Montblanc 1858 collection, blends seamlessly with the scale, giving it a truly watch-like appearance.

 The high-quality leather strap fits comfortably on the wrist, is continuously adjustable, can be attached and removed with one touch, and is designed to minimize exposed metal parts, so it is comfortable to wear even for long periods of time.

 It adheres closely to the format of a wristwatch and never disappoints, which is typical of Montblanc.
