The Japanese manga and anime series “ Naruto ” is the inspiration for Montblanc ’ s latest Summit 3 smart watch . The series , created by Japanese artist and storyteller Masashi
Kishimoto , became part of the zeitgeist twenty years ago , capturing the imaginations of people worldwide with its universal themes and relatable characters .
The limited edition Montblanc Summit 3 Smartwatch x Naruto features Naruto iconography — like engravings of the eponymous ninja ’ s signature weapons on the 42mm steel watch case and a Naruto-inspired embossed strap .
Similarly , the aperture at 6 o ’ clock on the dial frames an image of Naruto , and orange details recall the manga ’ s colorful presentation . “ Montblanc x Naruto Shippuden ” is at 12 o ’ clock .
