Thanks for posting these photos, Adrian! I'm relieved to see that Montblanc honored the integrity of the boot. As much as I will miss Racing Green, I am looking forward to seeing what the new ink colors will look like.

Thanks for sharing - I didn't know there were other MB forums. I quite like the new look - sometimes we all just have to move on. Am very interested in what the new colours look like. Perhaps there will be some new favourites there.

Very nice. Thanks for the photos.

Which other MB forum did you visit?

[Ed Ronax]

Thanks for sharing, nice looking bottle.

Thanks for posting this. Hmmmm. A more squared design with a more shallow cut out at the bottom. I would have thought the cut out would be much more pronounced, similar to the last two iterations of their older design when they made the reservoir deeper. Does anyone else see this as an improvement or simply a new design?

Cool Thanks

I like the new shape of the bottle cap but I'm not sure whether I like the new squarer look of the actual bottle.

 

Is it 10ml larger than the old style (60ml vs 50ml)?

[hollyuk]

Just waiting on some colour samples now folks ....

 

Who will be the first to get some new ink I wonder?

[cocoliso22]

I like the ink, has class and supports a good ink capacity, while remaining as functional as the previous one.

Among the new inks will appear to include a new green, which may be called Irish Green, anyone I can confirm the inclusion of this new green ink Montblanc between the imminent appearance. Greetings.

I like the box and cap and think I like the squarish body shape. Still looks wider at the back end which will make them still not line up really well next to each other.

Thanks for sharing.

 

I don't dislike the new design, but I am not sure that I like it either. Will have to see it in person.

I see it as a poorer design...

[PenTieRun]

Thanks for the pictures, Adrian. Really appreciate it!

I want to thank you for the photos, too. I have been very curious about the new bottles.

 

The new bottle does not look too bad. I really do not have strong emotions one way or the other. I am concerned that the front cut out appears shallow. I will have to use one of the bottles to see how it performs.

[Blade Runner]

i honestly don't see much of a functional difference.

[FredRydr]

It all depends on the depth of the well directly beneath the cap. If the well is deep enough to fully immerse my pens' nibs, after the remaining ink in an almost empty bottle is tipped into that well, then the new bottle is fine.

The nice thing I noticed about the new ink bottles is that they're flat-sided and rectangular. It

makes it easy to get to the last bit of ink in the bottle by propping up the front of the "shoe"

and not have the bottle roll around.

I haven't formed a feeling towards the new design yet, though I am so glad to finally get a chance to see what it is like been too too curious lately..!!

 

When are they supposed to hit the shelves? I am guessing they are starting to already just wondering when they will arrive in slower markets like here..
