Just saw it in a Montblanc Singapore boutique last night while shopping with my wife. We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary yesterday

She loved this watch on me and wanted to buy it for me as a present. I also like it. The red accents, the Montblanc Extreme leather strap, the black case, the micro-blasted stainless steel case with a black ceramic bezel - all very nice details! Also I noticed the Arabic numerals on the Timewalker Urban Speed are smaller than the older Timewalkers and I feel that makes the dial a lot more balanced and dynamic looking.

The red accents gave me a feeling of dash and action - a feeling of "on the move" and dynamism. Probably that's why this is the urban speed series of the Timewalker.

I told my wife I really appreciate her offer but I find 43mm a tad big for me still (strangely she likes the size on me). She said Pams are large too lol. Also if I were to get a Timewalker, I will want a twinfly version !

Also I want to wait a bit for the Montblanc Estrap to arrive - to test how it works and looks together with a Timewalker.

Some pics to share here. What do you think?
I think some red stitching on the Extreme leather strap for the Urban Speed Timewalkers will be really cool.

Cheers
Robin

"seize the window before policies change." (quoting Richard N's reply to me in another post) It doesn't look big for a sports watch. Good wrist presence but not overpowering. To me, the Timewalker Urban Speed looks as good as the Greytech twinfly. But I think the Greytech might complement your other two Montblancs slightly better than the Timewalker Urban Speed.
