The Monterey Ceramic models are a permanent addition to Louis Vuitton's collection, unlike the 2025 limited edition.
The case is crafted from ceramic powder and pigments, compressed, sculpted, fired, and hand-polished.
The design is inspired by the 1988 LV II model, designed by Gae Aulenti, which was one of the first watches to use ceramic.
The strap attachment is integrated into the caseback, allowing for a seamless look.
The black ceramic version features a white dial with red and blue accents, while the green version has a tone-on-tone dial with yellow hands.
The steel crown at 12 o'clock features Clous de Paris decoration for grip.
The movement, developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, features an 18k rose gold rotor with V-shaped notches.
