Good questions Julien!
Yes the ceramic disc is more off-white and is a little different in color than the main dial which is white. I recall i noted this when i last saw the watch. The difference is not great though and I thought the slight off white color of the ceramic disc gave some depth to the dial
On the fading of the super luminova, I believe over many years or decades it will fade like all other watches. Not within 2 to 5 years but gradually I believe it will just like the lumes on other watches.
I can ask Montblanc for more details on this and will revert
Cheers

Montblanc Homage to Nicolas Rieussec Part 2
First, let's offer a few words to remember the watchmaker himself... This is Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec He was already a successful young watchmaker in Paris when he was appointed as the royal watchmaker for Louis XVIII in 1817. Just four years later, he de...
Super post, Mike. Very interesting details on the ceramic ring.
I played with the proto at the SIHH, and loved it a lot. But I must say that I love the MB Rieussec a lot. Even though it is a Young Watch, I already see it as an icon. It brilliantly brings MB DNA. As for this version, it adds a touch of mystery, magic a...
I wondered if it was just luminescent enamel "baked" onto the ceramic dial
Otherwise I couldn't believe how good those curved numerals look with lume..the details are pretty sharp. Thanks for your input, I am sure MB likes to hear that they are bringing out some good designs. Best, Mike
The best part is always part 2 :p
Thanks for the tag team! Your report is superb Mike! Thanks to Montblanc HQ for sharing some of the technical details with us PuristS here too Cheers Robin
Looking forward to more information from Montblanc
Always remember there will never be a part 2 UNLESS there is a good part 1 :-) Best, Mike
As always, great write-up, Mike!
This explains everything about Rieussec and relationship to Montblanc. Anyone interested should read this. Great job, Mike! Ken
Thanks KIH...I never knew Rieussec ever put his chronograph
into a wristwatch until I did some more research. Actually, the chronographs in his wristwatches were more traditional...in the sense that the hands moved, not the disks. Warmest, Mike
Superb Mike, thanks!
I really want to see this watch in person thanks to you and Robin posting such wonderful information and thoughts on it. Very exciting watch!
'Poisonous' post for NB lover
Fabulous write-up. Makes me wanna get it even though I have the 'bull-horned' NB. Luckily I have budget constraints. LOL
Good to see you here again bro!
Been awhile! Yes I will always remember your Nicolas Rieussec purchase :) Your first serious watch and it suits you very well! Still enjoying it daily ? :) Cheers Robin
Thanks Mike
Great write up Mike. Love it. As you guys know my first love was my NR steel bracelet I bought a few years back. I might be in the minority, or maybe it's my love for the watch, but I love the bull horn bracket on my NR. That's not to say I don't love the...
no problem, This is high on my New Years wish list
Hopefully I will have a on the wrist review soon. Happy holidays, Mike
Wondering about this Super Luminova
Hummm Very nice post. Thanks for this great and very interesting review. I just discovered it. I really like this Montblanc and specially this Nicolas Rieussec. I have recently received an interesting offer to buy one. But I am wondering how resists this ...

Thanks a lot Robin
I am sure I am not the only one wondering about this Super Luminova. I fully agree with you on the point that the difference of color for the Ceramic Disc is a " plus " . I am curious to read what Montblanc gonna tell you about this S.L. . One more time t...
Feedback from MB HQ
Hi Julien I got some feedback on this topic from MB HQ My contact in MB HQ asked the product manager of the Nicolas Rieussec Collection and he told us that the SuperLuminova on the hybrid ceramic will not fade or disappear. They have made tests about it a...
Thanks a thousand times Robin.
It was one of my main concern about this watch. I will be in Paris next weekend. I will surely stop at Monblanc Boutique or at Bucherer. For sure I will let you know. Have a wonderful weekend. Julien.
Great to hear you will be visiting
Happy shopping and let us know if you do get this Homage to Nicolas Rieussec! Cheers Robin
